To see a metal show, the Ravari Room is the place to do it.
Good Points: Small enough and discriminating enough to bring in real metal and punk acts. Servers with Hounddog’s Pizza menu’s until Happy Hour is over. The best Happy Hour in town. 3 pool tables. Friendly (with 1 exception) bar staff. Awesome jukebox. Pinball.
Bad Points: Parking can be a pain. One of the bartenders (squirrelly looking dork with glasses) is a complete asshole. But there are several others who are very nice. Restrooms are always nasty. That’s about it.
