Reviews from musicians

11-20-2010
55 Bar is one of the few remaining Neighborhood Places that support live music. They treat the musicians with respect, and stick to the financial deal. The wait staff is very much up to the task, and they take the band's offering to heart, making sure the tip jar gets filled by the patrons. Great place, lots of repeat acts. Different genres for the early set, and then a whole new house for the later set.
I hope they'll stay in business forever.
