Don’t let the white table clothes fool you. This is a dive bar at heart and a favorite spot for local musicians. It’s like stepping into a different time with great live music, nice drink selection and delicious bar food and pasta. I highly recommend Beatles live music karaoke usually the 1st or 2nd Tuesday of the month.
