Kris Kristofferson once said playing here felt like performing in his own living room, which says more about the room’s intimacy than anything on the beer list.

Warm spinach artichoke dip with chips, perfect pre-show snack.
Cold Guinness pour at the listening room bar.
Bar nachos with all the fixin's — reliable fuel between sets.
