Great place to experience a wide variety of music. If you're a musician, there's a lot of spots for 'open' nights, and tons of groups are getting booked every month under the new ownership! Worth the trip, and stop by one of the nearby restaurants for a to-go meal when you're hungry!

Great place for family entertainment when conditions are right. Looking forward to positive outcomes and fine tuning of wonderful atmosphere. Treat yourselves and staff with respect while you are at the Mission as well as respect for your fellow man when you leave. Give Paige the opportunity to treat your experience with her personal touch of professionalism and attention to detail. Thank her for getting the wonderful cost efficient LED lights on the way to installation. This commitment to wise energy use is a prime forecast to a successful future for us all.

The Mission is fully decorated and reminiscent of a jook joint and is host to a wide variety of local artists. The blues and jazz bands that play are amazing. I really dig the whole laid back vibes while sipping on your favorite spirit and you will too, the bartender is a super cool dude, you gotta go to the Mission!

Not very big, so if you are uncomfortable touching complete strangers, this would not be the place for you.

Quiet night at The Mission but the drinks are good and cheap and the open mic was pretty cool, thought “open mic” meant comedy but turns out it’s music. You’ve been warned.
