"Sleeping Village is a great Avondale bar with plenty of comfy booths, a nice outdoor patio in the summer, and over 30 beers on tap. It also doubles as a concert venue that hosts DJ sets, indie bands, and something called a “Cosmic Country Showcase.” Most shows are ticketed (intergalactic Western jamborees included) and take place in their standing-room-only venue, but there are occasionally free performances in the main bar area. Check their calendar for important information about shows—perhaps more importantly, their $1 beer nights." - john ringor, nick allen
