The Voodoo Lounge

Voodoo Lounge is the trendy hipster/musician bar in Huntsville.  It has a really good vintage atmosphere and the best local music you'll be able to hear on the weekend.  The small, hidden basement entrance really gives the place style.  You can easily imagine listening to the Alabama Shakes give an unpublicized concert here.  However, there are some downsides.  The space is extremely narrow and long, which is fine for a quaint lounge, but this place is a vibrant music bar.  It makes for cumbersome movement, claustrophobia, and significant noise amplification.  The light can be a little harsh & your clothes need to be washed immediately after spending more than 5 minutes here.  You may also wish you had earplugs during the band, which sort of defeats the purpose of going to a bar.

Great bar downtown. Less frat-boy types hanging around. It's crowded a lot of the time, but the patrons are generally very friendly. One of the bartenders (Lindsey) is my favorite bartender ever. Super sweet and accommodating. Most certainly worth a visit.

Located in the basement of Papou's on the Southside of the square in Downtown Huntsville, it remains one of Huntsville's hidden gems.

The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable.  There's live music 6 nights a week and karaoke on Sundays.  Personally, I prefer to go on Wednesdays when James Irvin plays, but Dave Anderson on Tuesdays is another act that  you wouldn't want to miss!
