Local story
Not a bar crawl stop, a pilgrimage with seats. Plan the night around the show.
Pro tips
Tickets first, food second. Walk the neighborhood after; don’t sprint to six more bars out of FOMO.
Best time
Show night only, that’s the point.
Logistics
Reservations: Buy tickets early for big bills.
Logical combos
- Robert's Western World, Fried bologna sandwich, no cover most nights.
- Printers Alley, Historic alley, neon + late music.
