Live country music here in town?

[WolverineMike]

Does anyone know any bars here in town that have live country music? The wife loves it, but with the exception of catching some random bands here and there, we can never find anything consistent. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? I would appreciate it.

Try these for more mainstream acts:

Newport Music Hall
A&R Music Bar
The Basement
Bluestone

And of course LC Pavillion, The Schott and Nationwide hosts major acts.

For local stuff try:

Carabar
Rumba Cafe
Skullys
The Shrunken Head
Tree Bar

Now that I reread your post, you are looking for country music (which I hate). My wife has taken me to the Bluestone to see some decent country music so I would start there. I've heard Nyoh's is good if you want to hang out with college kids.

I think the college scene has probably passed us by, but thanks for all the suggestions. She just went to the Bluestone a few weeks ago and saw somebody there. We're hitting Hollywood Casino tonight to see Phillip Fox Band. We've seen them before at Natalie's Coal Fired Pizza, which I highly recommend to everyone.

Thanks again.

Maybe you and the wife could try that place Kahoots? Sounds like a nice country joint.

When I think classy, I think Kahoots......

Dick's Den has some pretty excellent bluegrass on Tuesdays.

Not country, but more country than what's on the radio today.. Haha

The Sycamore has had some bluegrass acts in there recently as well...

Just drive up and down Sullivant and you are bound to find one or two bars with country music

Seriously though, Litl isn't too far off, though, its sorta out to Pickerington and Grove City, etc, there's always stuff going on around there. Not my thing but, the scene is there for small bar live bands. I actually just turned around their parking lot (looking for th BMV) the other day, Dolphin lounge in Gahanna. I'm not saying you wont get shot, but, hey, you didn't make that a parameter.

About the same time the Doobie Brothers broke up, I think.

Yeah, I'm going to need more than that, old-timer.

Is it closed or just a different name? Pretty sure a friend of mine just played in that building a month or so ago.
