The North Star is more of a bar than a venue, but they still get a good amount of worthwhile bands to roll through. We like that the bar is separate from the, well, long room where the bands are. The bouncers are nice, and there is usually street parking to be found. The sound is kinda beat, but really – it’s a bar that has shows in the next room. The crowds are generally a bunch of old punk rockers grown up, and indie rock kids – so it’s usually fairly chill. They’ve got good food, good beer, cheap shows – it’s a great place to see the band you were thinking about checking out. Afterall, here the ticket for the show will cost you less than the record on iTunes.
