Liquid Lounge

The Liquid Lounge, the Curtain Club's much smaller kid sister, operates out of the same building as the big club. But where Curtain doesn't offer much beyond a band and a beer, the Liquid Lounge has a few more time-wasting options. The upstairs balcony has a pool table and a handful of classic arcade games, and the floor level has plenty of booths and tables to gather around. It might be hard to get a word in edgewise, though, when entry-level local acts are cutting their teeth on the stage located only a few feet away from any point in the room. It helps that a small patio is situated just outside the club's backdoor, where patrons smoke and chat between or during band sets.
