A local institution for local, not-so-local bands, national, and sometimes international music. The stage is small, as is the place to stand while you listen or dance, but when you’re looking for a great ‘dive’ it’s exactly what you need. If they weren’t all dead but one, The Ramones might stumble in here and not feel out of place. If you like this sort of atmosphere, the Khyber will be nirvana to you. If not, you have been warned.

The beer selection features local brews. If you need more room to breathe, escape to the upstairs bar, which has sometimes DJs, sometimes karaoke, and sometimes things that can’t be described adequately.
