Had an awesome time -- live music was great, bar service wonderful and drinks delish. Nachos were also killer.

Nice little hidden bar. Tied to Eveningstar downstairs and serving up a great selection of beer since it's part of the Rustico/Churchkey/Bluejacket family. Never been when it was crowded.

When I want to chill after work and get a beer with food, I go here. I had the best brisket ever here. Bartenders are friendly and responsive. Good food good beer. This place is right behind and connected to the evening star.

Chill environment, super sweet and attentive bartender, and some of the best buffalo wings we've ever had. Also, the triple layer cake! Nice spot; looking forward to coming back.

Kinda loud for a get together type party. I don’t want to have to yell at my friends. Food was good (smoked wings and sliders!) and bartenders were friendly, but not the fastest or concerned with the speed. Also, they were out of several draft beers on the menu - oh, and they were actively cleaning the tap lines with acid while also pouring drinks. Not especially appetizing when you see acid splashing next to your mixed drink/beer.

No. 9 Lounge, the upstairs space in Evening Star Cafe, was the perfect venue for my birthday party. It was very easy to coordinate the event and Dawn was very quick to respond to all questions leading up to the event. Everyone loved the vibe of the space! It had room to create a dance floor, a pool table, shuffle board, and retro video games! Everyone from ages 3 to 63 had a blast! The service, food, and cocktails were all terrific. I highly recommend this space if you are looking for an event space!

We held a rehearsal dinner here in June. It was perfect! The food was yummy, the pool table was a hit with the kids, and the couches and chairs were perfect landing spots for the toasts!
