Tractor Tavern

BALLARD. Known locally as the "Double T," this nightspot features a smorgasbord of American music on a weekly basis, and performances range from zydeco, bluegrass, and country to rock, folk, and jazz. In addition to great live music, the Tractor also offers tasty, down-home cooking, including BBQ. Completing the distinctly American scene are walls decorated with old tractor parts and farming implements. Past acts have included John Wesley Harding, Kristin Hersh, J Mascis, Victoria Williams, and the Austin Lounge Lizards. Cash only at the door; Visa and Mastercard accepted at the bar.
