Description:
STRIP DISTRICT. One of the most rockin' joints in the Strip District, 31st Street Pub books nothing but hard, shoot-straight-from-the-hip acts who play loud, cutting-edge tunes. Indeed, obscenities and ear plugs are likely cohorts at this music-first bar, where the walls are adorned with seemingly countless band stickers. All Monday through Wednesday shows begin at 10pm; Thursday through Saturday shows begin at 10:30pm. Check the club's calendar for upcoming bands. |

Description:
BLOOMFIELD. Embrace the revelry and fun at this family-run Polish eatery and bar. Early in the evening, you'll see patrons devouring heaping plates of stuffed cabbage, kielbasa and pierogies, but as the night rolls in, tables disappear from the stage and live bands take the spotlight. Music ranges from folk and acoustic to alternative rock. On Thursday nights, $1 beers after 11pm are an additional draw. |
