The Scene
In the afternoon, this weathered spot is filled with older regulars drinking until their faces touch the bar's cracked, red vinyl padding. At night, it becomes a hub of multiculturalism with the same daytime folks rubbing shoulders with drag queens, lawyers and students. Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers perform three nights a week. Thursdays feature the city's longest-running drag show, while the rest of the week is rounded out by singer-songwriters, bands and DJs.

Everyone knows about the PBR,the Thursday Night drag show,Nate Wiley and the crowd pleasers, but this place is more than that. Any night, it's a decent place to venture in and some nights you can even play pictionary...

A gem on South Street - everyone is welcome inside these doors, this isn't a bar where you will be judged. Just kick back - relax and enjoy your evening
