Notable local bands that had played at the downtown location included the former [[Second Track]], [[Emulsiphier]], and [[Phlegmatic]]. In addition to entertainment, the cafe offered a number of drinks with often unappealing names such as [[cherry popper]] and [[dirty girlscout]]. The venue was a popular dive for members of the area's Goth and Metal scenes.

Following Hurricane Ivan, owner Jeremy Marsh salvaged much of the old venue and moved to a new location, purchasing the old [[Goofy Golf]] in 2005, and reopening the venue in June [[2005]], with [[The Selfish Gene]] as one of the headliners. The new location was several times larger than the old location, and offered the same amenities as the previous venue; however the new location boasted a large band room and main stage. The new venue hosted a variety of shows, including a MySpace tour in November of 2005.
