Hot Times in the Hot Town

Come in out of the heat and relax with a cold, cold beer and some hot spicy food. Yeah, yeah, it's counterintuitive, but we really don't have a counter to intuit and besides, who's counting. Just get out of the sun before you get prunish.

It's Monsoon Time -- Get Out of the Rain and Dry Out in the Cafe

It's nice and dry in the Cafe but the beer is nice and wet. It's the perfect combination (less wet, more taste).

The Question Mark will entertain you on Tuesday, August 6th, from 6 to 8p.m. If you have to ask, you don't want to know. So don't ask. This is either a big inside joke, or we don't really know who the hell is playing that night. But it's pizza night, so that should be good enough!

Some Sage Advice This Friday

A wise man once said, if you want my advice, you should go listen to Sage, Friday June 22, 6 to 8pm. And while you're there listening to her contemporary and traditional folk music (along with a bit of country and light rock), you should enjoy a delightful beverage and some fine vittles (who says vittles anymore?).

The temperature is rising, so when the sun starts going down is the perfect time to watch it sink slowly in the West at one of our comfy outdoor tables. Bring your friends and make an evening out of it.

Check out our menu here.

And It Rhymes With Easy Peasey

Favorite local band Cheap and Easy will be back at the Cafe on Friday, June 1, 6 to 8 pm. If you have never heard the band play, you must be living under a rock. If you've been living under a rock, it's time to get out from under and find out for yourself what all the fun is about. While you're doing that, you can enjoy our fine food and a nice cold beer (or wine at a temperature of your choice). You can always have it your way at the Cafe (as long as it's our way too). As the great poet anonymous once said, "As you go down life's highway, keep your feet off the furniture." Amen.

And hey, big news! Our new menu is available online. Check it out here!

How Many Syllables Is That Again?

Forget counting syllables --- just come on down to the cafe on Friday, May 18, 6 - 8 pm, for the latest installment of the Haiku Cowboys down home desert rock. Poets are welcome but no literary experience is necessary. The food is great, the beer is cold, and the people are friendly. You couldn't ask for anything better, and if you did, you wouldn't find it. See you at the Cafe!
