Simple Bar & Grill

Venue review

The musician's read

Simple Bar & Grill is a Brightwood neighborhood bar and grill where food, art, music and dance all feed into the same community-oriented atmosphere. Live performers should expect a social crowd rather than a hushed listening room. Acts that can create movement, interact naturally and keep the energy welcoming should work best.

House, disco and dance music fit the 21+ setting, which is more about late-night movement and style than traditional full-band performance. Artists should approach it as a restaurant-to-club environment with a strong visual and social component.
