An intimate pub with live music every night. Mostly local groups, but the occasional national star drops in. A busy night means someone's sharing a seat with the keyboard player. Music's so loud you can't hold a conversation, and even the bartenders wear earplugs. Open Sun. through Wed. from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., and on Thurs., Fri., and Sat. until 2 a.m. No cover. No credit cards. 21+.
