01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Steven Tessmer opened the bar in 2003, and its small corner stage has hosted everything from jazz to screamo, stand-up and poetry, with live music in the evenings. After Tessmer's sudden death in May 2026 the bar closed briefly, then reopened under new management on May 21, 2026.
