Tonight's sound

Resident band nightly

One resident band carries the night — Vietnamese songs, international hits, and old favorites on request.

Rotating local acts

Local artists rotate through the week — a different flavor every night, a surprise every week.

Audience requests on stage

Hear a song you love? Call it out to the stage — the audience here has done exactly that for 17 years.

The room

Dark, tight, warm — the band sits shoulder-to-shoulder with the tables, brick walls, steel stairs, and the yellow Beetle climbing the wall. Finding the place is part of the ritual.

The fixture

The yellow Beetle

A yellow Volkswagen Beetle mounted upright on the entrance wall — the bar's most-photographed landmark, joined by paper lanterns and red neon across the room.
