The Mez  has a new name! Yes, the coffee shop and open mic venue at the corner of Gregory and Cayuga Streets in the Southwedge is now called Tango Cafe. There is even a tango dance studio upstairs. I wll be posting open mic updates and other events on the site as they come up. Stay tuned.

Is it in the same spot?

Yes, it is.
