A serious hole-in-the-wall spot, be prepared for a cast of middle-aged regulars to swivel their heads when you walk in. Boasting one of the best mid-century neon signs in the city and located off of a main drag in (often dicey) Central City, this lavender building is smack dab in the middle of Sunday Second Line celebrations, and is a hub for community activity year-round.
