First of all we thought we were going to a Caribbean restaurant and this place barely had anything Caribbean about it if at all. The entrance was very unwelcoming and there was a very dirty vibe. Tables werent even set out and the guy that attended to us didnt even look like he knew which ones to set up, he didnt even wipe them off! It did not feel like a restaurant because you couldnt even smell good cooking or any aroma that youd associate to a restaurant much less a Caribbean restaurant. We got drinks and left and even that was horrible. Was very disappointed.

Excellent place for small shows and local musicians! While I havent tried the food, the beer and liquor selection is decent and admission is usually very cheap. Bartenders here are on top of it and I never have to remind them my name for my tab. Its easy to support local bands with a venue like this.

Outstanding. Large Open and Wonderful-this fills a big need in the local music scene. The Ante Room books all types of music on a big stage to a big room. Room to sit and room to dance. Rock Pop jazz blues hip hop folk etc etc Local and touring musicians-its great.

Visited for an event rather than for the bar. They threw a really awesome event for local hip hop fans and had a great hype man. The entrance was a bit run down and needed more seating for everyone. It was great otherwise!

I like the events they have here but there was a shooting the night I went, not a very safe place.
