Insider tips

Two venues in one address

Bookshop and café by day, bar and event space by night. The same room, completely different hours.

The world's oldest

The oldest LGBTQ bookstore anywhere — worth ten minutes in the stacks before whatever you came for.

The last year here

3 nights on record — who actually played, and what they actually played.
