Unbelievable blues bar. Simply the perfect place to have some cold ones and chill listening to some of the most amazing blues I one of the coolest venues on the east coast. The whole atmosphere is purrrrfect. And what an owner! Sandy makes this place a living room for listening………to incredible art. Thank you….and much love to the Rusty Nail family.

Love Sunday Funday at the Rusty Nail. We were in search of a great band and we found it. Have not missed Sunday since June 2024. Great atmosphere and great people. Love the Rhythm Bones. Thank you Sandy for a fun time.

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.
