Ambient. An open mic. Karaoke that really is beautiful this time of year. Smokey tunes and warm Thursday vibes. A beach party for anyone that can’t be bothered to actually go to the beach. Jazz improvisation and contemporary arrangements from across the Arab world. A Sunday afternoon open stage for original tunes. A Sunday night featuring a variety of mashed genres that you’ll love!

That’s each day at our place over the next week.
Swipe through for all the art work! Don’t fret about summer being over. Thanks to climate change, it’ll probably be warm weather until November. So we’re really only halfway. Bask in it!

Every time Jack Johnston brings a bill to our place it’s packed (packoed?). The b**r flows, the music rips, the energy rises. And guess what!? He’s back this Sunday, August 30th!

This time he’s bringing Overcoat and wecouldgo_corporate. What kind of music? It’s a genre called “come to Handlebar on Sunday, August 30th.” It’s niche, but accessible. You’ll love it!
