sandman

a Broadway Avenue dive with live music most nights, swinging between country, rock, and blues, with open-mic comedy midweek. it is unpretentious in the best way, the kind of bar where the crowd is friendly and the bartender has your order down by the second visit. covers are cheap or free depending on the night, and the room gets loud and loose once the band starts. it is where you go when you want a real night out without a guest list. check the schedule and just turn up.
