Who doesn't love music? Heck, chances are you're listening to music right now. You know the only thing better than music? Live music. Whether you're enjoying a quiet acoustic set or nodding your head to a banging drum solo, listening to live music is a great way to spend a night on the town. With good tunes and fun times in mind, here are three local live music venues you need to check out.

Peacock Wine Bar

The first entry on this list is for when you want to experience the music in a relaxed setting. The Peacock Wine Bar has a laid-back vibe with plenty of couches and comfy chairs to go along with the barstools and traditional table seating. Artists that play here tend to do a lot of solo acoustic sets. Think in the style of the late Amy Winehouse or stripped-down versions of some of your favorite songs. If this sounds like your speed, check out their events page, grab some friends, and go check out a show. 

Jolie’s Place

With a fun atmosphere and live music Wednesdays through Saturdays, Jolie's Place is that local watering hole you’re bound to love. The stage usually sees a full range of musical genres, from contemporary to classic rock. Play pool, grub on the tasty pub food, or get out on the dance floor and dance the night away. You can see all of their upcoming shows here. 

The Nile

The final entry on this list is not a bar with a stage but rather an actual concert venue. With three individual stages in the same building, The Nile has been hosting musical acts for almost 100 years. Along with concerts that range from the intimate to the extravagant, The Nile also has a fantastic vegan coffee shop for an added caffeine boost between musical sets. With upcoming shows almost every night during the month of February, you’re sure to find a band you want to see.
