I think it could get a bit loud during late-night shows, so if you're just looking for a chill evening, aim to leave by 10 PM.

If you're looking to save a few bucks, try their happy hour from 4 to 6 PM – drinks are way cheaper then, and the vibe is just right.

I suggest arriving around 5 PM on weekdays for a chill vibe and to grab a good seat before the crowd hits. Trust me, it gets packed!

I recommend trying their seasonal specials on the menu. They're usually fresh and delish but just be aware that some dishes sell out fast!

If you wanna beat the crowds, try visiting on a weekday instead of a weekend. It’s less hectic and way more enjoyable, trust me.

My advice is to check the schedule in advance for the events. I thought I was going to see a big show, but it turned out to be a smaller performance, which was cool but not what I expected.

I suggest arriving at least 30 minutes early for the best seating options. I showed up right on time, and it was a bit stressful scrambling to find a good spot.

I recommend booking your tickets online to avoid the queues at the venue. It saves you a ton of time, and you can often find special discounts that way too.

If you're thinking about grabbing a bite before the show, avoid the snacks inside – they're pricey! I found a cute café nearby with tasty food at half the cost.

My advice is to arrive by 6 PM, especially if it's a busy event. The traffic can be crazy, and parking fills up fast, which can be super frustrating!

I suggest arriving at least 30 minutes before the show starts, especially on weekends. It gets super crowded and you'll want to snag a good spot and grab a drink.

Bring some earplugs! The live music is amazing, but it can get pretty loud. I didn’t think of it and left with my ears ringing. You’ll thank me later!

I recommend checking out their social media for the live music schedule before you go. Some nights have free entry or discounted tickets, and knowing what’s on will help you plan your visit better.

If you're looking to save some cash, grab a bite beforehand. Their food options can be a bit pricey, and you'll find plenty of great, affordable eateries nearby.
