All attention is on the artist, and it maintains a nice intimacy. They have a small reception area where they check you in and made wine and beer available for purchase (including Buckethead, which I really like) at very reasonable prices. It's really not a commercial affair at all. It's a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that also does great and meaningful work in the community. They're truly musical ambassadors, fueled by passion and a firm belief in the power of live music and the role it plays in a healthy society. I will absolutely come back again!

Having traveled from our home to this town, we had checked into our inn and now wanted some…read morerefreshments and mirth. We happened upon a bar that had a teller of comicdic stories and his helper and thought this to be perfect. The name of said bar was The Pearl and the storyteller a Mr. Daryl Felsberg. We ordered our alcohol. My wife and traveling companion got me a white chocolate Martini, it came with a pearl and a cherry. and I got her a cocktail called Emily Morgan. Both were very good. The service was friendly but only two people running the whole thing and one was the owner or manager who was mostly the greeter. She was friendly but the main bartender was doing most of the work and while impressive I felt sort of bad for him. The set up is you can sit at the bar, then there is a walkway all in a line from the door. When you enter bar is on your right. To the left are tables of various sizes. Right in front of the stage is a table with two comfy chairs. Right past the bar is a small seating nook with comfy chairs. Not a bad overall setup. Bathrooms are through another set of doors. No food but there is a popular pizza place nearby and you can bring that in to eat. The comics were both funny. We bought a CD and T-Shirt from the main guy. The one thing that did go wrong was the stage lighting. It just randomly would switch colors, brightness, sometimes turn off completely. This was their first comedy show there but they have live music so not sure what happened. You got your own water from a glass dispenser which was not the only place that did this. It was a pretty popular option. We also had a shot of peanut butter whiskey. The overall price wasn't bad. It was a nice place, they had live music coming after the comic but we had other plans. This was our only visit to The Pearl on this trip but it was a pleasant rest stop for weary traveller's in need of quenching our thirst and merriment.

The front "porch" area before walking into this bar is very unassuming. I didn't expect to have such a great time and thought it was going to be more basic bar-ish. I had THE BEST time at this place. I see why people go here. It is a locals place, but out of towners were very welcomed too. Great service for sure. We were very impressed. There's a hot dog cart outside, so no excuse to be hungry. They were delicious! I seriously cannot remember the last time a bar checked all my boxes. Cost, clean, fun, crowd, great tunes, TVs to check out my Astros, and food upon leaving. Check this place out!

Once inside, I noticed sidewalks along the perimeter for my wheelchair, bonus points for that. Unfortunately, the sidewalks leading to the ordering area were completely blocked by giant advertising sandwich boards. Obstacle course aside, the bartender was friendly and incredibly kind, even offered us koozies and blankets, which was a big win since it was pretty chilly out. The setup is fun and casual with cheerful Christmas lighting. Near the bar there are TV's and standard-height tables on a large concrete area. There was a nice little crowd and every one of the tables on the patio were taken. Beyond that is more gravel with Adirondack chairs, a big raised stage, and picnic tables on the other side. I really enjoyed the live country band and would have loved to stay, but it was too cold. Adding some patio heaters would make it easier to stay longer in the winter. Overall, Sip Yard is a really fun venue with a side of adventure. I'll give 5 stars and will definitely be back, hopefully with a couple fewer hurdles and better weather next time.
