    This place is cool. Went here last night for a concert we wanted to see a local band Beach Patrol…read more The venue has a few tables but mostly standing area. It was cold in the building but I bet if the place is packed it gets hot. I like that they have traveling music and local bands playing their own music. No cover songs here! The cover was $7 which is decent and the drink prices are competitive. The bathrooms are in Keggers next door though not in the actual Lyric Room. I will for sure stop in again to see some bands.

    I love this venue! I was brought here for a date on a Friday night. The cover was cheap and pop…read morepunk/punk (my favorite genre) bands were on the lineup. Check out Five 4 Dive they were the opener and were terrific! The venue is small but it works. Its a more intimate feel (as weird as that is for pop punk bands). There is a small bar in the back and the bartender was awesome. Drinks were strong and cold. The Lyric Room is attached to Keggers bar and the entrance is through the bar. They give you a wristband so you can go into the bar to get drinks and/or use the restroom. There is a sign saying max capacity is 99 for the Lyric Room and I feel that would be really crowded if that were the case. There are a few bar tables along the wall but other than that its standing room only. It does get very warm in there but there is a coat rack that you can hang a jacket on if you get too hot. I cant wait to go back and see other bands at this place. Definitely a great place for live and local music.

    I was somewhat of a regular. Not anymore. I was called "pretty" one night by a a bartender "Angie"…read morewho was previously fired from this bar. Found out that was code for "Pretty Dumb". Well, I've had my last drinks here at their bar. My money is so dumb here, it will have to go somewhere else. Hope this helps you all see the drama people like to generate. I for one don't like drama. Avoid the Ave on Thursday nights, the volume on the music is so loud, you can't even hear the person next to you. I've heard the owner yell - "show me your tits" to many of the patrons too. Lesson here is, don't piss off patrons who have been regulars. I'm done here!!! I don't mean much here nor does my money anyhow. Plenty of other fun bars on Velp!

    A friend invited me to go here on a Wednesday night for karaoke. It's kind of a small sports bar…read moreas there are plenty of TVs for the size of the bar. I was really surprised how many people were here on a Wednesday night especially since no one sung karaoke...maybe at most 10 different people did sing a song. It was still really fun, and some of the local patrons were friendly and easy to talk too. The bartenders were a little slow at first, but the service got better as the night went on. Not a whole lot for beer selection, but Spotted Cow on tap kept me happy. Plus they had $4 mini pitchers which included all tap beers. There were a couple of times there was a 2 Dolla Holla where you had 2 minutes to buy some really simple shots for $2. Overall...it was a fun time for a place that I wouldn't usually frequent.

    Cozy, chill dive bar decor with string lights and music memorabilia. Great open mic on Wednesdays…read moreand cool bluegrass music scene floats through here. Drinks are cheap. Bartenders are chill, patient, and kind. Best bar in town.

    The review written by Hunter B., on 11/20/2014, is absolutely false. I have gone to this bar for…read moreabout 10 years and I have visited for pretty much every type of occasion (football games, live music, casual evenings, etc.). Contrary to Hunter's fallacious testimony, I have never witnessed anyone smoke anything in the bathrooms, nor have I seen any "drug-related" or criminal activity inside or outside the establishment. Regardless of the shift being worked, the day of the week, or the event being held, the staff is always kind and welcoming, and the service is always prompt. The owner is personable, easy-going, and charming. The bartenders at this bar are very adept, highly experienced in serving large crowds. Because of this, the customer service remains outstanding during those busy nights with live music. Hunter B.'s accusations about cleanliness are also erronious, as the staff works hard to maintain a safe, clean environment. As I've already stated, Hunter's review is completely fabricated/mistaken; Frets and Friends is a friendly, trustworthy bar, with a wonderful staff. Hunter B.'s nonsensical review is nothing short of slander and it should be removed.
