Nectar's

Nectars is not and will never be my favorite place to be. However, the fact they are supporting the local music scene and especially the local metal scene earns them some stars in my book.
The acoustics aren't great, but they're not horrid. there literally isn't a bad place to be for live music, and it's small enough to be intimate but large enough to not get uncomfortably crowded. Metal Monday is the only thing that can draw me into this place though.
Bartenders seem nice, efficient. They'll chat with you if there's not a band playing. Prices on drinks aren't super outrageous but maybe a bit more than the dive down the street. They seem to have reasonable drink specials, and maybe a few unadvertised ones that circle via word of mouth. (from what I picked up sitting at the bar). They have "greasy spoon" bar faire to munch on, if that's your thing.

Some of the bouncers seem a bit overzealous about their jobs, others seem pretty chill.  As far as live music venues goes its not a bad place to be.

Um this is Nectars.
