It’s a testament to the vision of Carlos F. Garcia, and Sasha Torres that despite 10,000 square feet of space they’ve managed to maintain the New Orleans inspired, laid back vibe of the South while showcasing some of the hottest current, emerging and unusual live bands. Nights off music are given up to comedians, performance art and indie films but if you get too desperate for a music hit in between there’s an endless flow of bands cruising through all day every day.  Up to 1,000 people can be fed from the food trucks that take turns catering from the outdoor courtyard which add to the Southern feel and are a casual contrast to the old-fashioned cocktails served by the surprisingly formal buttoned-up & waistcoated crew behind the bars.
