"Your friend who enjoys kaleidoscopic slop-rock bands from Detroit already knows about Tubby’s, a fun little bar in Kingston with live music every night. The place is by no means as pretentious as your friend, though. Tubby’s channels a lovable neighborhood degenerate hang, and yet it’s not so sh*tty that you’d be tempting fate by ordering a cocktail. Come for happy hour to drink something cheap in the backyard, then stay for whatever the nightly show might be. Tubby’s also hosts rotating food pop-ups, and if you’re at all interested in swallowing solids, take the trust fall and order something. The last time we came by, we ate dal and potato momos that we miss with frequency. Our exact note at the time of eating: “daal plus Negronis and we’re soaring.” photo credit: Hannah Albertine" - Hannah Albertine
