1st Street Bar describes itself as classy but perpetually game for a party, with cold beer, cocktails, games, sports, and a sense of humor about leather-bound libraries. The schedule supports the claim: music open mic Tuesday, comedy open mic Monday, and live shows Wednesday through Saturday. That is a working-bar calendar with several ways for an artist to get familiar with the room before aiming at a weekend slot. The venue provides a simple PA system, but the booking note wisely advises confirming the specifics. Do that. Ask about speakers, monitors, microphones, inputs, engineer support, stage or floor area, soundcheck, volume, load-in, parking, set length, payment, food, merchandise, and settlement. “Simple PA” is not bad news; it is a phrase that needs a follow-up question before your drummer arrives with twelve channels of ambition. Public review excerpts point to pool, beer, a dive-bar feel, and a friendly hangout atmosphere. This is a social room that can suit rock, punk, garage, indie, blues, covers, comedy-adjacent music, and any act that can give the bar momentum without ordering everyone to stop having fun. The range makes it worth asking how the crowd differs between a Wednesday show and a Saturday night. Booking is by email. Send direct live-performance links, preferred dates, lineup, genre, rate, draw, and a concise note about the set. 1st Street is a flexible bar opportunity for performers who can work a real room, use the open mics intelligently, and make a simple PA sound like a sensible choice.
