- amazing talented musicians perform live every evening
- delicious and innovative cocktails (second only to Angel's Share in NYC cocktails imo, if i had to rate the whole menu I might even give Lunatico a higher score)
- rotating dessert menu. the chefs have fun with the ingredients
- no cover, suggested donation all goes to the performers
- cute decor, cute crowd, lovely neighborhood vibes
- i usually drop by before the first act of the night, when the dinner crowd is leaving; but if there is something that looks good to you on the current dinner menu, most likely you won't be disappointed

Finally message that girl you matched with on tinder a whole year prior. The one with the photo of her playing guitar. Ask her where you can see her play. She might not have a show lined up but she might be shooting a music video in two days and need a male actor.
You just might end up in a music video.

Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 film Blow-Up is a post-modernist piece set in the mod era of 1960s London, following a fashion photographer, grappling with perception of reality, and the search for meaning in his creative work.
In arguably the most iconic scene [linked], the main character, Thomas, wanders into a concert with a cameo by none other than The Yardbirds, especially memorable because it features Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page during their brief overlap in the band's lineup. But what's more is the absurdism Antonioni layers into it.
Allegedly, Antonioni originally wanted The Who for the scene, who was already known for Pete Townshend’s guitar-smashing, but getting them would have "blown up" ;) the budget of the film.
That bit of trivia only deepens the absurdity of Jeff Beck smashing his guitar. What was once an act of raw, rebellious energy is portrayed as hollow, almost mechanical aggression. Meanwhile, a stage tech casually tries to fix the amp, underscoring how these once-authentic acts can become ritualized, drained of their original meaning. The tone of the scene is heightened as Thomas drifts through it all, eventually catching the broken guitar neck like a souvenir, only to discard it moments later—a perfect example of randomness and futility woven throughout the film.
Great film for:
- Dissociative film photographers
- Those inflicted with impostor syndrome
- Mimes who enjoy tennis
- Swinging London nostalgia whores
