Cafe Colonial

When I visit the colonial theatre for any reason I always look forward to the cafe. A friendly barkeep, creative(and cheap) cocktails, an eclectic beer selection, and a fun alternative vibe, an absolutely top tier watering hole.

Great place to check out certain genres of music. It's mostly considered a punk venue but it does diverge from time to time. The Cafe serves great fries and other bar food. They have wine "cocktails" that are in the 20-22% range but they do not serve hard alcohol here. They have beer on tap and in the bottle. The room where music is played is intimate and can be a bit loud so bring ear plugs. If you're into supporting local businesses and local bands, patronize this establishment. Enjoy and keep your head on a swivel.

Absolutely amazing place with great bands that come thru every so often! Food is great, killer vegan options!

Came to hear a local band play on a Friday night. I was pleasantly surprised with the sleek, matte black remodel of the interior. It's beautiful and intimate without being embarrassed by the character inherent in the age of the property.

The bar and stage are separated by a pair of glass doors which muffle the sound to the bar area if you need to take a breather from the full force of the music (although you shouldn't expect perfect quiet; they are just glass after all.)

Having come for music and dancing, I really appreciated the black and inlaid tile floor. It was smooth enough for dancing without being too slick for novices. Sound dampening panels were hung on the ceiling to give the small space a little better acoustics.
