Description

The Quiet Storm Coffeehouse offers a welcome respite to the loud-rock-bands-and-smoky-bar music scene. An acoustic performance sounds just great with a cup of coffee.

The sofas, chairs and tables scattered throughout the place hold students, artistic-types and older rockers looking for a mellower hangout.

You are just as likely to catch a Middle Eastern music session here complete with belly dancing as you are a solo performer. Quiet Storm is also one of the few venues in town that still hosts open-mike poetry and fiction readings, every Tuesday.
