The Read
Beam recorded the early albums at home on four-track and has spent twenty years adding musicians without raising the volume much. The Ford is outdoors and holds about twelve hundred, which suits material this quiet better than a club does.

After
Boardner'sSteve Boardner moved his bar to this address on Cherokee in 1942 and the deco bar and tilework are the ones he put in. Behind it there is an open-air patio that most people walking down the street never see. Saturday nights the back is given over to Bar Sinister, a goth night that has run since the 1990s.
