Almost buried in downtown, The Emerald Bar is worth digging up. Secluded amid a leafy section of Central Avenue, the exterior suggests it is a dive bar. But a walk in shows how alive the establishment is. Live local bands fill the bar and funky art decorates the walls. The bands are as diverse as the local neighborhood. Visitors are just as likely to hear rockabilly or punk as they may classic rock or blues.
