Push through to the back and the light changes. A secluded garden perfectly suited to slow Sunday afternoons — when the traditional music drifts out from inside. No kitchen here, so bring your own, gather your people, and stay a while.

Sunday afternoon · the music

Live music is our Sunday tradition

Local acts every Sunday from 4pm — solo sets, duos, and the occasional full band. We're always glad to hear from musicians, so send a line and a couple of links, and we'll be in touch about a date.
