Zach Kotel: Great dive bar in the heart of lodo. Low key with cheap drinks and frequently live music. Great choice.
Jake Smith: Grab a cheap beer and a seat at the bar with a view of the stage. The groups that play here are great, so you can go on any night and hear live music. You can grab a burrito outside after last call.
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Get a Bud and a shot of Jack at 8:45, right before the jazz starts. Come 90 minutes earlier if you want to sit at a table.

John Kempe: Great BBQ and great music venue.
Kyle Kummer: Intimate concert venue! Convenient that it's connected to a BBQ joint and bar, but, ultimately, I come here for concerts.

Curt Sallinger: Great place to see a show - not all shows are going to be country so keep an eye out. Cheap beer too. Parking stinks though.
Garrett Motzner: It’s a western bar with live music most nights. Decent sized dance floor, a few bar style arcade games, full menu. Cheap drinks. Minimum tabs or fees for most credit charges. Cowboy hat recommended.
Lisa Craig: The Grizzley Rose is the best place to go for country dancing. Arrive early to enjoy an uncrowded dance experience. Read more.
