McCleary's Public House

Brittingham’s has been serving as tavern, inn, dance hall, pub, restaurant, and likely unofficial witness to several bad decisions since 1743. Live music lands Thursday at 8, Friday at 9:30, and Saturday at 9:30. The booking fit is cover acts only, with space for solo, duo, trio, acoustic, party, dance, jazz, DJ, open-mic, and trivia formats. In other words, this is a broad entertainment room, but it wants something recognizably useful to its crowd. Public review excerpts mention a fun patio, different event areas, and a bar-room atmosphere. That favors bands who can read a social room and provide familiar songs without behaving like they have been sent to conquer the Roman Empire. The late Friday and Saturday starts make pacing important: build the set so it gathers steam instead of burning every match in the first twenty minutes. Performers provide their own PA and microphones. Advance the room assignment, power, sound limits, load-in, outdoor weather plan, stage dimensions, monitors, set length, break schedule, pay, food, merch, and settlement. Booking runs through the venue’s listed entertainment network; send direct music links, desired dates, lineup, and a concise picture of your act. Brittingham’s is an established multi-room bar-and-restaurant date for self-contained cover acts that can work a late crowd. Bring reliable gear, sharp transitions, and enough familiar hooks to make 1743 feel suspiciously current.

Victor's Italian Restaurant lives inside a renovated nineteenth-century church, serving Friday and Saturday music with Friday reserved for jazz. That is a beautiful setup for musicians who can play with taste and not mistake 'old church' for an invitation to turn the dinner room into a stadium. Friday jazz needs touch, songs, and enough discipline to keep the room elegant without embalming it. A trio, vocalist, piano act, or small ensemble can make the place glow if it has a groove and knows when to leave space. Saturday can take a little more lift, but the restaurant still wants music that helps the meal, not a band trying to punish the pasta. Artists bring the PA and mics, so keep the rig lean and ask about power, stage location, load-in, sound limits, set length, breaks, pay, and whether the church acoustics turn every cymbal hit into a public confession. They probably do. The source does not list a booking path, so use the restaurant's public contact route with a live clip, lineup, dates, and a clear note about Friday jazz or Saturday fit. Do not send a giant festival video. Show the act working a small room with actual tables. Victor's is for players with control, songs, and enough class to know a quiet room is not a dead room. Make Friday swing, make Saturday sparkle, and let the old church handle the grandeur.
