I think grabbing a booth with friends is the way to go, but if you're solo, don’t be shy to chat with people at the bar—everyone is super friendly.

I suggest checking their social media for special events or promotions before you go, because some nights have lower cover charges or unique shows. My friend and I saved a decent amount this way!
If you're planning to tip, I recommend bringing small bills. It makes things easier when you want to show appreciation without making a big deal out of it.

I recommend talking to the performers and staff. They’re really friendly and can give you insight into the best shows and personal preferences which can enhance your experience.
I suggest checking out the early evening shows, around 8 PM, as it’s less crowded and you get a chance to enjoy the performances up close. Just avoid peak hours like midnight if you're not into big crowds.

I suggest bringing cash if possible. Some places can be a little picky about card payments and it just makes things quicker, letting you focus on enjoying your time.
My advice is to try the bar snacks – they were surprisingly good! I almost skipped food but glad I didn’t. Just be careful, they might fill you up before the main show!
I think it's smart to check their social media for any special events or drink deals before you go. I stumbled upon a happy hour deal that saved me some cash.

If you're planning to visit on a weekend aim to arrive around 10 PM. It starts to get really lively then plus you’ll avoid the early crowds
My advice is to take a look at their website for any upcoming events. I missed a live performance that sounded awesome – definitely a bummer!

Make sure to check if they have any special events or themed nights before you go. I stumbled onto an amazing night that had a live DJ, which really enhanced the atmosphere.
I found that the cover charge varies, so try to go on a weeknight for lower rates. I went on a Saturday and wished I’d chosen a Thursday instead for a more budget-friendly experience.
