Big Times is a late-night downtown Morgantown bar with lounge seating, pool tables, and occasional live music. The room’s identity is nightlife first, so musicians need to be comfortable playing into a social crowd that may be moving between conversation, games, and the bar. Flexible local acts and upbeat material should have an advantage over quiet listening-room sets. A booking here is best approached as part of the night’s energy rather than as a formal headline presentation.
