Editorial Review for Hemlock Tavern – by Daniel Liszt
In Short
A smattering of candles cast a red glow over the space, which feels a bit like a woodsy cabin with its eclectic wall art: pastoral paintings, metallic fish and deer antlers. A handful of stools sit near the entrance, ideal for streetside people-watching, while the narrow central bar is crowned by quirky chandeliers, two of which are fashioned from old rubber tires.

Insider Tips
Where to SitAn enclosed patio on the upper tier offers smokers a place to hang without having to stand on the street.
Save TimeThis cash-only bar has an ATM on-site.
Save MoneyHappy hour (Monday-Friday 4pm-7pm) features $1 off all drinks.
Look GoodA bag of warmed peanuts costs $1, despite the vintage machine behind the bar advertising them for 10 cents. Throw the shells on the floor--barkeeps don't want to brush them off the counter for you.

Its a cool place with great live music. A hip scene. The bartenders rock, they are on it and clearly want you to drink. Its got a rocker/indy vibe but ut i have seen all types of people. Pretty mellow after work and usually packed in the evenings.

Attention all girls...you must try it here if you love rocker boys. They really aren't my thing but when my friends are in town the like to drag me out here. It's a change of pace for me and it actually is pretty fun. Music is different, drinks are good, people are interesting to watch, and there is a smoking room attached within the bar if you smoke. (Things have seemed to change a bit in the last few times that I have gone. You see more guys in nice jeans and button up shirts, and women looking trendy - which I don't mind, but it kind took away from the rocker vibe a bit.)
Pros: Rocker boys galore!
Cons: None that I can think of.
