    "What a great place! One of the last local places where you can catch a national act. The prices are good and service ranges from decent to painfully slow."

    "One of the top local bars that have recently in past couple years has been turning into one of those epic intimate local venues that host anything from local band show/ open mic nights to touring acts coming in and putting on a raging show. Great atmosphere, awesome security staff and workers and the shows are always great!"

    "A nice little quaint bar located in Margate. The main reason why I went to this bar, was to support local bands. They had an event that evening where many bands were playing. It's located in what seems to be a safe neighborhood, tons of parking available and decent prices on beer. You can always park around the back and enter through the back of the bar if you don't want to have to deal with the shopping mall parking madness. The bathrooms were clean and the bar itself was clean. Lots of different people attend the bar, the night I went was heavy metal night so lots of metal bands were playing. The stage is small but setup nicely with lots of lights and a great sounding system, if you are a local band swing by and ask to play there, the bar was pretty full when I went. I did not order any food so I cannot rate on the food, my rating is solely on the drinks and entertainment. I've gone back a few times and will go again. The two bands that were playing that night that caught my attention was McFisty and Gears check them out on facebook!"
