In Short

This place has retained its charm since the early 1900s, when it operated as a speakeasy. The brothel-red walls blend with striking fixtures like Victorian-style mirrors, Belle Epoque-era posters and a 40-foot mahogany bar. Hard-core audiophiles spend most of their time on the classroom-sized red-and-black floor in front of the intimate stage. Meanwhile, the chill set hangs in the back lounge, replete with red velvet furniture and a pool table. The place is typically full of scenesters--which scene depends on whether a rock, alternative or electronic act is performing.The DrawThe venue's attention to early 20th-century decor and cozy stage make this one of the coolest spots to see live music in town. Bartenders are well-schooled at slinging mixed drinks. Tap brews like Fat Tire and Boddington's are reasonably priced ($4-$4.50) and popular with patrons.
