The Cakewalk Café

The Cakewalk Café is a step through lifes looking glass into the gin-soaked dancehalls of the prohibition age. From hot jazz to swing, ragtime to musichall, its all here, jumbled up like an old-time jamboree.

Slick back your hair, tug your weskit and dont forget that the floor is for dancing over.
