Before you book
Coming from JW Essex House
Count on about 27 min to the door with no stops, and longer with the lights. If you have a table booked, give yourself extra.
From our door to The Broadway Theatre is about 18 min, against about 9 min from your hotel. Keep that in mind if there's a curtain time tonight.
One more thing: we're loud. There's a live DJ every night we're open, so pick somewhere else for a quiet talk. We're closed on Mondays.
