Finding the doorCandlewick
Down the stairs, under the brass lamp
Basement, 9 Ashlar Lane
Candlewick, Port Verrin
Four minutes from the Quayside streetcar stop. Look for the oxblood door with the fan above it. The sign is small on purpose.
No stairs needed: there’s an elevator just inside the street door, an accessible restroom on the club floor and a hearing loop at the bar.

Do I have to book?
Only for supper or a booth. The bar is walk-in only, every night, and the sets carry to every stool.
What does a table cost?
Supper is $68 a head for four courses. There’s no cover at a table and no service charge added. Drinks go on your own tab, and you can split it any way you like.
Is there a dress code?
No. People dress up because the room asks for it, not because we do. Come as you are.
Can I stay after the first seating?
Your table goes to the second seating at 8:45 pm, but you don’t have to. Move to the bar, keep your tab open and stay for the second set. No cover for diners.
What if I’m running late?
We hold tables for twenty minutes and booths for thirty. Call 555-0115 and we’ll hold it longer if the room allows. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you right away.
Can I request a song?
During the late set, on paper, left on the piano. Wynn plays what he knows and tells you honestly when he doesn’t.
Can I take photos?
Without flash, and not during a ballad. The singer will thank you with her eyes.
Is it wheelchair accessible?
Yes. There’s an elevator inside the street door, an accessible restroom on the club floor and a hearing loop at the bar.
