The Ace Bar

I came to Ace for the first time tonight. On the last Wednesday of every month, they host an open mic called Get Off The Couch. For $7, I was able to enjoy the sounds of some extremely talented local musicians for several hours. The staff was nice, and the fireplace was awesome on this cold night.  I glanced at the menu and it looked like there were some tasty choices that I am looking forward to trying (especially the burgers and flatbreads).
I would highly recommend Get Off The Couch (although I cannot assure you that future shows will be as good as tonight's).  Plus, the sound was crisp and clean...very good!

Please note that it is not something you would go to for dancing, singing, and general belligerence. It is a showcase of musicians and during their performances there is the unspoken rule that you are quiet and attentive.

I noticed a sign listing many upcoming shows...some good bands were listed! Looking forward to returning....

Suggestion: wear layers (it was uncomfortably freezing, even with the cozy fireplace roaring)

Quiet, cozy bar. Not the kind you want to watch sports on but the one you want to come and have a few drinks at and enjoy the stand up comedy show on Sundays, which is really good.
They have a fairly large beer selection, and your first PBR is free if you come to the comedy show, which is free of charge anyways.

Service is pretty fast too, and the people are friendly, kind of like the Green Dragon from Lord of the Rings. Or at least that's my idea of it. The bar itself is kind of hidden but don't be fooled, it will see plenty of action, come and check it out.

This is a great little bar with awesome staff, cheap eats (Taco Tuesday- = $3 for 3 tacos!) a great beer list and an excellent stage and sound system. My band had a fun night playing here. I can't wait to come back and see lots of friends' bands playing here in the near future. This is one of those little bars that knows how to do local rock and roll right.

Quick list of things I really liked about Ace:

- sweet sound guy
- free weeknight shows
- good sound system
- nice bartenders
- easy street parking
- good, cheap tacos
- extensive beer list

Book your band here and bring your friends out. You'll have fun.
