Tight lil place to see live music. Record albums & musical instruments decorate the room. Bar food till 1 a.m.. covers aren't overpriced. Only pet peeve is that there were people camped out at a couple tables 5ft from the stage & a TV on behind the band. The television is pure disrespect to the musicians, it should be off or displaying art, etc when bands are up & the patrons should have moved the table back a bit to allow the dance floor to be engaged instead of forcing most of the people watching to stand in the back. With that said its a cool spot & I expect repeat visits..Vegetarian options: Some items. Veg burger, fries, fried okra, etcParking: Street and a lot or two but may be crowded when there's a show or something going on downtownWheelchair accessibility: Ramp down to the lover lever. Not many low enough tables but a few

Under new ownership and just great! The new menu is so tasty - had the Buddy-O Burger with basil aioli and balsamic tomato jam plus fried okra. Very nice! Top notch cocktails and an updated interior, too. Cheers!

A favorite bar with delicious food. Easy to walk to & alot of locals go here. It just sold & changed hands. They have a stage & music frequently. Always enjoy a stop here for a burger & a beer on tap. In one of the oldest buildings in Ashland in a unique setting with lots of great memories for us locals. The place where Ashland’s Caldera Beer began. Hope the new owners offer more music & that the food stays delicious! (It is bar food). Advise their coleslaw, it’s delicious.Parking: Have never had trouble finding parking there. If not in the two parking lots them trees parking available. The place is not in the plaza.

Came here on the recommendation of a co-worker of mine where I work at being a supermarket. My co-worker is the store's Beer and Wine Steward. Upon

Bands beware, do not book here. No sound person or microphones, “PA system” consists of two stage monitors. Clearly not equipped to be a proper live music venue. The owner was extremely rude to numerous people and the door guy was on a power trip. Bartenders friendly and food was great however.Edit in response to the owner below: None of the four bands that played with myself recently asked you to come back. :)

Can only really speak to the food, first time in the area, ordered door-dash...I live about 4hrs away but I'm planning on setting new record for myself, last record was about 3hrs of driving for a meal, this place would make it 4hrs one way for a meal...Absolutely loved the Godfather... Amazing Sandwich....

Completely love this place. It's walkable from our place & we love the happy hour, the owner is great & the selections of beer, drinks & food is great. I think it's the best burger in town. They also have music & it's a great place to hear & see live music. Great part of town with many memories for those of us who have lived in Ashland for years.
after hearing BS about me from a town energy vamp, me and Sean met and became cool. as time went on, more and more townies got to Seans ear and said something like. "he can't support me.....or else.....perhps". Sean decided to kick me and not allow me back based on the over all vibe in the city of Ashland, that being, they don't want any minorities being successful in any way. or staying in this town let alone meet someone and start a family, put down roots. no matter how good of a person one is, if there a minority, there's automatically something wrong/with them....that's the back end of this town/america. only minorities will feel it. if your white your numb either ignorantly numb or comfortably numb. all I want was to bring music and chillax to the scene.

A fun place to hang out. They have karaoke, open mic, local bands, movie night sports night, great food that goes beyond bar for a pool table outside sitting with fire pit, a vending machine, drink lunch and happy hour specials.

Classic true pub experience, sticky tables and uncomfortable stool cushions, Terrible movies playing and some knuckleheads being obnoxious and messing around with the pool table. Smash burgers, fries, and tots were all pretty good. Waitress was attentive but not overbearing. Old fashions were nice and didn't taste watered down. Def not fine dining but just somewhere to grab a nice burger and cocktail. Careful of the parking situation outside though- the enforcement officers seriously seek out any possible reason to ticket you that they can find.

Came during a live band, was a fun spot. Lots of outdoor seating.
Awesome punk music like Blood Jacuzzi
