The Scene
The stage plays host to a broad musical spectrum, from the bubblegum pop of Ryan Cabrera to the hard-core rap of Eminem's protege, 50 Cent. The schedule is more likely to include Chris Isaak, Super Diamond or X onstage than genuine blues artists. This is probably one of the best spots in town to garner a heaping helping of nostalgia as acts like KC and the Sunshine Band, the Bangles and Billy Idol perform for devotees. Sundays take a 180-degree turn to become the home of a famous gospel brunch, blending soul music with a menu that includes Cajun, Creole and down-home Southern specialties.

The Draw
Live music is the big draw, so the crowd can consist of underage ska fans, 30-something corporate types and followers of the indie music scene. Regardless, the atmosphere is always in the playful spirit of Mardi Gras.
