Good little place to go every now and then after work. I enjoy the atmosphere and feel I can relax and unwind. Friendly and happy place to go. Come to chill - no pressure, don't have to chat to anyone just grab a drink and a seat and you are on your way to relax.

This is a friendly but funny little place.
They have all sorts of different music on here and so its always good to check out.
never really over crowded though.

West End has many similar places but it definitely a good one. I have been there twice and will go more.

I love this gorgeous little cafe in West End. They have some fantastic bands and I find nothing better than ordering one of their massive and cheap antipasto platters and kicking back and listening to the fantastic bands. I haven't eaten mains there, but I love the atmosphere and the bands here, and their food is very reasonably priced. From the antipasto and nibblies I have had, I'd have no problem trying the mains!

It's a cool little place, with a teeny-tiny stage in the far corner of the room, a small scattering of tables inside and footpath dining. There's also a bar and a smoking area out the back with a pool table - it feels like being in someone's garage!

Food is cheap and cheerful - this is primarily a bar and live music venue, but the food is generous and reasonably tasty. My Thai beef salad [$14] was piled high on the plate, and the beef was tender - the onions were total overkill. I like onions as much as the next man, but the rest of the salad was entirely overpowered. My husband had the hamburger [$14.50], and to be honest, it didn't look as good as the haloumi burger at the table next to us [$14.50]. He said it was tasty enough, but it came with a round patty on a long turkish bread bun - it didn't exactly fit, and he felt they got a bit excited with the salad on it. The chips were frozen shoestring fries, but there were plenty of them!
Our friends had the Thai veg curry [$5], and again - it was tasty, but nothing to write home about. The pizzas [$10] were somewhat disappointing, with a store-bought base that ended up being stewed under the weight of so many toppings.

All of that said - we knew that we'd be getting what we paid for. The servings are generous, they're cheap as chips, and you'll have the opportunity to catch some free live music on any day of the week. The atmosphere is great, and it's pretty easy to meet some cool people. Seating for large groups is somewhat non-existent, unless you take over the footpath dining area!
They also have student/backpacker discounts on food and drinks, and special days.

Approximate cost: $15
