It has always been a great experience every time I've gone to TAK. I've seen Nirvana Tribute twice and looking forward to the Beatles! Cool atmosphere. The owner Todd is extremely nice and we are looking forward to having our Wedding reception there next year! Great for every event!

Nice venue. This place is actually set up to be a proper music venue, with dedicated sound booth, green room and all the amenities a touring band would need. They have beer, soda and other beverages and snacks the patrons can buy. Depending on the show, it could have tables or be standing room only. The guy who runs the place was nice and treated us well. I highly recommend TAK.
