It's worth walking in just to check out the decor of this newly renovated old bank. Great food, a bit pricier than some of the other restaurants. We like to have a drink in the basement while we wait for a table at the Woodshop!

Everything Else
20 Front Street is a listening room. It's likely you've never experienced music like this before. The small, casual venue seats a maximum of 90 people and is the absolute best way to experience live music. Beware, this is not a bar, you can purchase coffee, tea, kombucha to take in, but once you are in the listening room you'll want to stay until the show is done.
