i don’t drink, so i don’t frequent bars. but my friends invited me to Tuesday Blues Night and it was a great time! free to drop in and listen, even if you don’t drink. definitely a cool energy seeing strangers and friends come together to perform for fun!

If you want a blues dive bar, you can't beat Rusty Nail!

Tin roof rusted and lots of love. Great talent at open mic on Tuesday's and Sunday's blues house band incredible(bring ear plugs). Legit 5 star dive bar with garden back area where they could serve high tea. Has parking lot(s) and easy street parking. Beer is cold. Bathrooms clean enough.

Always friendly atmosphere with proprietor/host Sandy. Eclectic, music loving patrons. No cover, Blues Jam on Tuesdays with many talented pros dropping in. The Rusty Nail is an authentic juke joint, the real deal.

Came to Rusty Nail to watch Halloween kills and meet and greet Dr.Loomis from Halloween since it was filmed there. We had an awesome experience.

I absolutely love this kind of place! Tucked away, not really a secret, but still feels kind of private. It takes a lot for me to venture downtown, but this place is so worth it! Great bartender, great place to shoot some pool, great place to hear some amazing live music... count me in. I will definitely be back!
