~Testimonials~
"Don't go if you don't like fun!"
"You rocked my boat and my world!"
"These gigs are magical. They make you forget to be self conscious, that most of the people in the room are supposed to be strangers, and that you have work tomorrow. They are the musical equivalent of climbing trees and doing cartwheels."
"BEST EVENING OF THE MONTH. THANK YOU 4 MY LIFE"
"A rollicking good night with saucy shenanigans and uproar galore! Hoist the sails and splice the main brace for the next Shanty Club as fast as yer oars can paddle! Arr!"
"We may never get the chance to sail the seas in a pirate ship, but a night at the Shanty Club with the Salty Sirens might be as close as it gets"

No guarantee. Only if we don't sell out!

They don't but you can bring in food from elsewhere.
