Labyrinth Walk Coffee House

Housed at: Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff
History: Booking manager Gene Dailey says a "core group in the church wanted to start a coffeehouse, so we did so in 2005." Ann Armstrong and Stephen Hughes performed the inaugural show in July.
Prices: $12 in advance; $15 donation by cash or check at the door (although prices may vary).
Capacity: 150.
Frequency of shows: The fourth Saturday of each month.
Key performers: Beth Wood, Danny Britt, Eric Taylor, Ann Armstrong and Stephen Hughes.
Age of patrons: 35 to 75.
Noteworthy: Mr. Dailey praises the venue's acoustics and the fact that it uses Fair Trade coffee, which is "made by individual growers, who are seeking only a fair price. It's a social-action type thing."
