Josh Samples: Beetle plays here every Thursday from 7-10. They take request! The bartenders Galena and Holly are awesome. A must visit!
Jenn: I go here when I miss the funkiness of Austin and the original location on SoCal.I love the randomness, laid-back atmosphere, and the live music that can be found here. Sometimes a cover charge.
Men's Health Mag: If the college-friendly bands on the red velvet stage is not your scene you can find a spot with the old timers out in the Pachinko room, an outdoor patio lounge. Go for a Lone Star—it’s cowboy fuel.
Tim Thraeryn: Remember, you can bring a soda with you. If you do get thirsty and need a drink, though, have singles handy. Read more.

The Most Interesting Man in the World: To get backstage, look for a man in a cape. Tell him “The marigolds are in bloom.” If he looks at you like you’re crazy, tell him “I’d like to go backstage.” He may or may not be able to help you.
ESPN: On December 9, 2004, T-Mac had the craziest 35 seconds of his career. He scored 13 points in that stretch, which included four 3’s and a four-point play.
Gus B.: Nice draft beer list, nice music, great food. What more could you want?
Jenn: If you like trendy music and fruity vodka drinks, seek your thrills elsewhere. On the other hand, if you like intimate settings, good beer selection, great live music, this is your venue
Zach R: Awesome live music venue.
