Mellow Mushroom is a great place to hang out with friends and listen to great local musicians. The best time to do this (if you are into a more relaxed scene) are weeknights - Monday nights are great! The place has a tendency to get a little *too* crowded and loud on busy nights when there is a popular band - there is not a lot of space around the stage area so good luck moving around. Mellow is located in the local college bar & pub strip so if you aren't into drunk college kids - stay out on weekend nights. On the upside, weekday lunches here are quiet and cheap - around 5 bucks for a salad, huge slice of pizza and a soda.
