Churchill's Pub

A dive bar and live music venue on NE 2nd Ave, booking local bands since 1979, with pool tables and a full bar.

Vérifié octobre 2026

For anyone who wants loud local bands, a pool table and a bar open until 5 am on weekends. The trade-off: it's a genuine dive, so expect grit, not comfort.

The stage

Marilyn Manson, Iggy Pop, Social Distortion and Dick Dale have all played this room, and the pub likes to call itself the CBGB of the South. It's been booking local bands since 1979 and claims a world record for most acts in a single venue, which fits a calendar that leans on whoever's coming up. Expect underground, indie and the plain weird, not a polished concert hall. Check the events page before you go, since the lineup is the whole point of the night.

Between sets

Pool tables, sports on the TVs and a full bar fill the hours when nobody's plugging in. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 pm, a fair excuse to show up before the bands. Prices sit at $$, and the site lists pub grub, so you don't have to leave to eat. It's a dive by its own description, no frills, and it holds a 4.4 from about 1,000 Google reviews from people who mostly like it that way.

How late it goes

Doors open at 11:30 am every day, and closing time is the part people remember: 3 am Sunday through Thursday, 5 am on Friday and Saturday. That makes it one of the few spots where a set can roll into a pool game and a last round long after most bars have called it. Daytime is simply a pub with a pool table and a game on. Nights are when the bands play, so plan around the show listing if the music matters to you.

Bon à savoir

Happy hour is weekdays 4 to 7 pm, so come early on a show night and drink cheaper before the bands start.
