    Apache Café

    • Apache Café was first opened on April 9, 2001 by brother and sister team, Asa and Karen Fain. They borrowed art to place on the walls, and as jazz music played, the pair envisioned what it would be like to establish a permanent place promoting creative expression in the form of music and art.

      Today, Apache Café is a popular restaurant and nightclub where many local and well-known talents go to perform. The club hosts cutting-edge events such as poetry slams, open mic, film screenings and performance art.
