Tons of bars on this stretch of 6th Street. Age range is 25 - 45. Something for everyone down there. Easy area to bar hop. Don't ever drink & drive and especially not on this street!
If you want to see a real honky tonk, this is the place. It's been around forever. We're talkin live country crooners, boot-scootin on sawdust and beer in pitchers. It's ok if you don't have boots!

Legendary jazz club. It's under the building and the door on the street is easy to miss. Worth finding if you're a jazz fan...we've got some stellar musicians in this town.

It's a hotel and you're staying at my place! BUT, I do recommend stopping in for cocktails and light appetizers (amazing cheese plate). Outdoor seating next to a zen pool...sublime. Occasional DJ.
