Layla's

Layla Vartanian opened it in 1997, the only female-owned independent bar on Lower Broadway. While everything around it plays country radio, Layla's books bluegrass, hillbilly, rockabilly, and Americana.

Vintage license plates cover the ceiling. Better drink prices than anything near it. The booking is the tell: while the rest of Broadway optimizes for group traffic, Layla's keeps running sets that actually go somewhere.

Narrow and long, with the stage close enough to matter and a crowd that's usually there for the bill rather than the crawl. The right size for the music it programs.
