Live and diverse music is the primary attraction at this tiny bar on the St. Marys strip. The bar books everything from alternative rock and blues to funk, soul, Latin jazz, punk and even plain old heavy metal. Midweek DJ Plata hosts Dynagroove Wednesdays for listeners who like a lot of old-school R&B, soul and funk (crowd here is fairly young, 20s and 30s). Like the music, the clientele is diverse. Neon signs, velvet paintings and various prints and photographs by local artists cover the limited wall space, making this an interesting and sometimes intimate little joint in which to hide out (at least when the music is not so loud that your drinks are falling off the table). It's a tight squeeze on a good night, but there's a patio outside if you begin to feel a little claustrophobic. The drinks are a little pricey, but the atmosphere and music often make up for it. -- A. Onofre
