“Eight to the Bar” is a phrase from the Jump Blues era said when wanting a boogie beat, go "eight to the bar". The call was to ask the band leader to play something to really dance to. In the spirit of our building’s history of music and good times, the venue will always go Eight to the Bar for you.
