Whistle Binkie's
4-6 South Bridge 557 5114
A music club and bar. Report from May 2007, open mic night (Monday). It's a darkish, basement-level club with a small stage. A few seats in front and more in the back if you want to just relax. They keep going till the wee hours. A mellow crowd and a pleasure to be there. That night, at least, they didn't over-mike the band so you could actually have a conversation. A refreshing change from some clubs. It's a typical college-town bar in many ways but not just younger students. Oh yeah and truly smokefree.
