Just a reminder that the usual First Friday with A Hard Night's Day is 86ed for the month of June. It's the usual family holiday soak-up-some-sun time of year and we can hardly disparage a hard workin' band a little time off! See ya back on July 3rd for a little pre-Semiquincentennial Brit Invasion! Until then, YEAH YEAH YEAH!

The time is upon us. After a dozen years and as many hairstyles, Captain and Camille end their Barley House run this Friday, May 8th at 9PM. We can’t begin to thank this band enough for the years of joy they have brought us, just like we can’t think the fans enough for coming to support them AND BH from the start. So, one last time, put on your sailin’ shoes and head down to Barley House with a $5 bill to get you in the door, and real, real smooth with Captain and Camille!

We finish off this weekend on Saturday, May 9th, with another rollicking, mirth-filled visit from Le Cure and their spot-on tribute to... yeah, you guessed it... The Cure!
This band is nothing short of spectacular live and they mix up the popular tracks with special deep cuts as a matter of course. Don't miss 'em.
The party starts around 9 with only a $5 cover. Come early and maybe have a Goth Pizza, with blood-red sauce and triple black olives. (kind of an off-menu item).
See ya here!

The Clinton Years were most certainly known to many as the time the original Barley House was in business on Henderson Avenue!
But The Clinton Years are also a fine musical act that play music from that decade called the 90s!
And while you probably won't hear Informer by Snow (the #1 song when BH first opened it's doors) you'll hear a lot of the great music that bedazzled that strange and prosperous era. Join us this Saturday, May 2nd, at around 9PM for a mere $5 cover and dance to the powerhouse sounds!
From the Power Rangers to The Sandlot, from Snoop to Whitney, from Ally McBeal to Seinfeld, from Beavis to Butthead. We'll see ya here!

Has May already crept up on us? What doesn't creep up (much) is that intrepid band of faux-Liverpudlians, A Hard Night's Day, faithfully honoring the Beatles and their life-changing sound on the first Friday of every month. You can catch them in May on Friday the 1st at 7PM for the usually pittance of a $5 cash cover. Grab your Ed Sullivan-lovin' neighbors and head on down.
We'll see ya here!

Okay, let's heat things up to finish off the weekend this Saturday night, May 25th, when Graceland Ninjaz set fire to the joint with their campy mash-ups of hard-partyin' favorites. From Beyoncé and Elvis to Lady Gaga and Snoop, with Nirvana Ice and Sir Metallica-a-Lot mixed in, you are certain to have the time of your lives.
9PM is the scheduled downbeat with only a $5 cover charge. DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!!
We'll see ya here!

Well, what have we here? A band that normally finishes off our weekend starts it off tomorrow! A bona fide Barley House favorite, Dirti Martini rocks you down thru the ages from way before you were born (well, most of you!) through these roaring 20s! We're still not charging cover for this fine band but you just don't want to bet on how long that'll last! So Friday the 24th for free, with a 9PM downbeat, and we'll see you at your friendly neighborhood Barley House with hot food, bevs and rockin' sounds!
