This beloved venue has long been a lifeline for the city’s indie music community, but that’s not to say the programming is predictable. One evening a host of Weezer cover bands take over the small corner stage; the next, a head-banging hotbox of heavy metal plays out. As long as you enter with no expectations (apart from to have fun), this venue never lets you down. The weekly open mic night is a bit of an institution. Visit on a Tuesday to see local artists do their thing.
