Area 7 Music and Ale

Wander around a lot and talk to people. Go when there's a cool band playing because there will be lots of girls. Buy drinks and go around back to the right of the building to smoke. Open field and stuff to sit on. There is a stripper pole and a cage for dancing. The tvs usually play interesting 80's porn. 10 for underaged and 5 for the drinkers

My band played there Saturday night and the place is not all bad,  Not everyone is going to be a musician playing there so I will tell you my experience as a patron then as a musician.

The bar has a dive bar deco and feel but it is clean and has a decent setup.  There big problem is they do nothing to attract girls so there were only two there on a Saturday night and they were with one of the bands.  They have a Pussy Shot with Pussy in big bold letters on top of the drink menu so the first thing you see is Pussy which I can only guess is a turn off to female patrons.  Drinks were expensive for such a small and out of the way place and they only accept cash, no credit cards in this day and age.  They had a VIP Section without a single person in it and no reason to rope someone off from an empty place.  That did not stop the owner from coming over and telling some poor woman she could not sit there.  The bartender was very nice and she was entertaining making it actually three females in the bar.

So, playing there is a once in a life time experience because I will never play there again.  They charge a $5 cover to everyone but they do not give any of that money to the bands.  They even wanted my wife to pay but I talked her in for free.  They did not provide a working PA system which the promoter said they had and there was no (I mean, no one) there that was not brought by my band or the band after us.  With everyone in there it amounted to about 15 people.  

Not worth the time to setup and play to an empty for no money, not even a single free beer.

Even though this bar is not technically on Dixie Highway it is literally on the tracks and "dive-y".  Located in a strip center next to a shop that features both custom bowling balls and disc golf accessories Area 7 music and ale is a classic.
