Live music (plus the odd karaoke crooner) emanates from this excellent bar just about every night of the week. This spot is proudly pro-hippie, but doesn't just bust hippie tunes; the gigs juke from reggae and folk to alt-country and gypsy rock. On Sunday afternoons, old-time jazz takes center stage. It's in the Fan district.
