The SceneFrom national acts who open for headliners to every local band imaginable, Alley Katz hosts them all. While the stage is undersized for some of the bigger acts, there's plenty of room for patrons to spread out. A tasteful second floor, complete with oversized couches, feels more like a coffee lounge. Despite the second floor's creature comforts, this is a venue where you stand to watch the band.

With its alley locale, Alley Katz isn't noticeable from the street, so take a stroll down this one.
