Rose Bowl Tavern - Urbana

What’s not to adore about a venue that features live original music every night of the week? The staff is friendly, and there’s a great selection of draft beers available. Plus, you have the option to bring your own food if you want. The bands perform here because the audience truly appreciates good music.

No food available. I've only been there for trivia when they are very busy. Everything is served in disposable plastic cups, which really bothers me. But the people are nice and I'm glad RB has had a rebirth.

There's free popcorn and great shows and atmosphere!

This is a good dive bar. They serve drinks and there is music. What more do you want?

I lived in small mountain towns in Colorado for a long time and this is the closest thing I have found East of Denver that matches the quality of that vibe. Having live music every single night of the year, as feasible, is incredible and rare. Tonight, they had three people that had never played together and it was one of the best sets of music I've ever seen. They didn't know each other and it was so fun to watch them figure each other out and when they hit that perfect note it was magic. I feel privileged to have seen it. I recommend grabbing some dinner to-go and support your local artists. You never know what you'll see and I have never had a bad time. TIP! THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE NEED TO SUPPORT
