I haven't been there for a while, but I regularly had lunch or dinner or just a coffee there. Food was simple but very tasty and people so friendly. And good blues music along.

Loved the feel of the place. Great blues music, friendly service, enjoyable food. I don’t drink alcohol and had a coffee while there.

ブルースが好きなら、音楽が好きなら、ぜひ行ってみてください。 とても親切な店長さんとお客さんと一緒に、または一人で静かに楽しい時間を過ごせる、いつまでも訪れたい場所です。 素敵な音楽と人々とお酒とおいしい食べ物と共にきっと良い時間を過ごすことができると思います。 おいしくて、満足できるおつまみと料理の中で、唐揚げとオムライスはぜひお召し上がりください。 オムライスの味は人生で経験したことのない懐かしさを感じるようになる思い出の味でした。 これは多分これからもずっと恋しくなるでしょう ここも
