It's not too hard to get in here, but show up early. 10 PM to be safe. Usually crowds stand in a cluster around the door and the bouncer pulls people from the crowd to go in. Don't want to ruin any surprises, but there's an awesome entrance and live performances! (Also, if you don't get in, you can always hit Dirty Laundry next door.)

Break Room 86 is a must visit. Get there early, usually 9:30-10 PM to be safe. There is a dress code- guys wear pants and closed toe shoes, but other than that, this place is pretty awesome and low key. The live performances are iconic.
