Editorial Review for Dick's Den – by Tracy Zollinger Turner

In Short
Decorated in wood grain and plenty of pictures of longtime regulars, this bar is welcoming on slow weeknights and happening on weekends. A live jazz tradition that started on Sundays has expanded into a full weekend of music, which sometimes makes the leap to bluegrass or the "Circus of Cool," in which jazz musicians improvise behind poetry readers that keep the Beat tradition alive. With a low cover charge, Sunday jazz at Dick's remains one of the greatest musical events in town.

Set up near the jukebox. It's stocked with a tasteful selection of old jazz and soul classics.

When to Go

Come for the annual Jack Kerouac tribute, spawned by the Don "the Pope of Northwood" Pavelcik's love for the beat tradition combined with jazz.

Know Before You Go

This is not a plastic-friendly place. Bring cash.
