  Tah-
  Please don’t judge this place by a few pictures or after a five minute stop on opening night.
  They jumped through the hoops and wants of neighbors, worked worked their asses off, and spent a bunch to revitalize blight + make a first rate live music venue.
  
  College kid hang out?…
  You have to be 21 to get in and I’m twice that age and love it.
  If you feel the need to use a “Tah” name and criticize namelessly-
  I respectfully request you use sanctioned sites such as NOLA.com or YELP to do it.
  Best from Freret,

I thought the pictures did a nice job capturing the vibe. Thanks, UM.

The staff is friendly and well trained. This is a venue I will be in at least twice a week. I can’t wait to meet the owners to thank them for changing this street into something even better!
