"Boar’s Head is usually too packed to even talk to a bartender, so have a simple drink order at-the-ready to yell across the bar. Besides, hovering barside isn’t why you’re at this decades-old downtown establishment. You’re here for the music. Standing three stories high with indoor and outdoor stages, Boar’s Head has a spot for everyone willing to squeeze in. Up-and-coming local artists perform covers and original songs, so find a seat outside to get a good show. And if you’re prepared to taste somebody else’s breath, head downstairs to dance, shoot billiards, and play shuffleboard in between songs." - delaney tarr
