Live Music

Folks running a vintage clothing store decided they wanted to host shows, so they built a concert stage inside of their shop. It’s loud, a little chaotic and very fun.

They book mostly local and regional bands. Lots of punk and hardcore here.

They don’t follow a regular schedule for shows, so if you don’t check the concert calendar beforehand, you might only discover a charming vintage clothing store instead of a live concert.

Parking

There are four paid parking lots adjacent to the building. All of these lots fill up quickly for weekend shows.

There is a public parking garage near the Chattanooga Choo Choo property at 1398 Market Street.

There are two other paid lots about a 5-10 minute walk away at:

Always pay your parking fee. Parking enforcement will ticket quickly and without mercy.

There is additional street parking (some metered, some free) on the other side of Main Street on Rossville Avenue its side streets.
