Musical Box: Behind Musical Box’s unmarked entrance are framed photos of Dave Grohl bopping with headphones on and a stoic Paul McCartney. Amicable bartenders and social butterflies create the scene and the back room is reminiscent of your bachelor uncle’s house, with shabby velvet sofas, a black pool table, and funky chandeliers. Musical Box is also a neighborhood hang for those who want a mellow night of talk and billiard chalk. On weekends, the bar gets busy, but it doesn’t reach annoyingly slammed levels. If you ever need space, hit up the small outdoor patio, smoke a cig, and chat up a stranger or two. Musical Box always plays the right tunes. |
