Really lovely and intimate back room for performances, and then there's the fairy tale of a back yard. The bartender is also either very sweet or really bad at math because my tab was $10 short.

If it's warm out, grab a drink and make a beeline for the back patio.

Good specials for happy hour!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 17, 2010
Check out the front bar for drinks, the train car like theater for shows and the quiet outdoor space for relaxation. It’s small, so get there early.
