My love affair with Eddies has lasted many years. Imagine a club where no one smokes and everyone hushes once the music starts. Though Eddie sold the place to friends a couple of years ago, they have continued the excellent programming. Local favorites like Matthew Kahler, Michelle Mallone, Pierce Pettis, and Clay Cook are frequent performers. There is an emphasis on developing new talent. I cherish memories of John Mayer shows here before he broke, when I sat close enough to reach out and tap him.
The bars (one on the patio and one inside the listening room) specialize in beers, but wine and cocktails may also be had. Food is generally excellent (especially for pub fare), but has declined in quality somewhat since Eddie moved on. The Dixieland chicken sandwich and burgers are good choices, with regular or sweet potato fries or the superb red onion rings as accompaniment.
Pros: Great music, Respectful audiences, Good eats
