Maxine's Live

Long-running music bar and live venue on Central Avenue

Address 700 Central Avenue

A small, dark, dependable live-music room on the upper stretch of Central Avenue. The booking lineup leans into roots music — Americana, blues, bluegrass, the occasional rockabilly act — and the crowd is a friendly mix of locals and visitors. Beer prices are reasonable, the staff are quick.

If you're staying downtown for a couple of nights, this is the obvious bar to drop into for live music without having to drive out to the lake.
