Perhaps you'll do more listening than line-dancing at this venerable music mecca (going strong since 1977), but nevertheless, Poor David's Pub is a stellar venue to catch local rising singer-songwriters as well as top-notch national acts. The pub has hosted everyone from Jerry Jeff Walker to Lyle Lovett plus it's also the place where performers such as Sara Hickman and The Dixie Chicks got their start. In addition to a weekend lineup of must-see feature bands, the bar stays hopping through the week with comedy, poetry readings, open mic nights and more. Note that kids aged 17 and under are allowed in when accompanied by an adult.
