Banjo Jim's:
Toe-tap on down to Avenue C for twangy tunes and suds – Hop Devil, Victory Pilsner, and Smuttynose, to name a few – at the petite, countrified Banjo Jim’s. Amiable, plaid-clad regulars and the stray sideburned hipster hunker down on stools and jaw at the tiny bar until a manic fiddler or banjo-plucker gets them to their feet for some “in and out and around you go” sashaying. The nightly live music lineup features bands like Ollabelle, The Doc Marshalls, and Lil' Mo and the Monocats, who have roused plenty of hootin’ and hollerin’. Order a round of beers and join in.
