Editorial Review for Phoenix Hill Tavern – by Oscar Leon
The Scene
It's already enjoyed a couple of lifetimes, first as a bluegrass and folk club in the 1970s and for the last 20 years as a rock-and-roll playground for college kids and young professionals.
The Draw
The Tavern is an old, rambling building that boasts four stages, often with a band on each stage at the same time, and a variety of touring and local talent; everyone from Steve Earle to the Ramones has held court in the main room. Upstairs, second-tier touring bands and local draws perform in the Roof Garden while acoustic acts stay in the small Taproom. In warm weather, an outdoor stage stays busy with reggae and the Tavern's huge parking lot is home to several seasonal events, such as chili and barbecue cook-offs. Weekends are noted for a plethora of hotties, both male and female.

this place used to be classic! and when i say "used to be" i mean early 90s and before. now it's a meat market for the overfed. if you like chicks stuck in the 80s, with the big hair, bad make-up, clothes four sizes too small for their rotund bodies and more muffin top than you can shake a stick at. if you like your guys like cavemen (undereducated, barely literate, questionable whether they should ever speak AND grabbing your butt, which applies to the females too, really) dressed in more "bling" than 50 Cent and you like seeing random stranger's underpants because their pants don't fit. if that's your bag, you'll be in hog heaven. if not, MISS THIS PLACE WITH WIDE BERTH. there are occasional promoted shows that are put on at Phoenix Hill as the venue itself is pretty decent with a good sound system and acoustics. if there is a band you like that is playing there, it will probably sound great, given they have their own sound people. the bar itself is very interesting and has a lot of history and there are several rooms for music that sound good, given the bands are good. so... venue - good crowd - HORRIBLE!

Pheonix Hill has a great variety of people and music. They always have the best bands. I love the live bands, drinks, and the atmosphere.
