City Winery Live Music Venue / Restaurant / Wine Bar

Crowd

Varies widely based on the night’s performer, from older socialites and successful professionals to laid-back hipster music fans, though the regulars in the Barrel Room tend to be of the trendier/yuppier variety, late 20s to 50s.

Entertainment / Music

Live music almost nightly in a huge variety of styles, including folk, rock, roots, and gospel, as well as occasional comedy nights and other non-musical performances starting at around 8pm.

Projector screens on either side of the stage, and a sound system that can rattle the building’s foundation.
