Restaurant Review

Anecdotes & Analysis

This is a mammoth old building taken over by Dan Aykroyd and his partners to create one of the first in a growing national chain of major music clubs. Big to very big acts of both local and national repute perform most nights. Food and music are segregated here; it's easier to get a table for the latter. As with the music, some of the eats are local, but most of it is what you’d expect from a place whose main thrust is entertainment. Sunday mornings there's a brunch served to the accompaniment of live gospel singing.
