This is a nice little local tavern where folks go to talk and play free pool. They are not really interested in hearing bands, or they would likely go to one of the many other bars in Snohomish that regularly have live music. The owners want you to play at conversational levels, which is difficult when you have a drummer and are playing rock and roll. There is little room to set up and no room to dance. They assured us they would move back some pool tables but did not. The handful of regulars playing pool clearly mattered more than the outsiders who wanted to dance. Fair enough, but it makes for a tough night band-wise.
