Rose Bowl Tavern

Great comment from a visiting musician: “this place is great, it’s what Austin Texas was 30 years ago.” The bar is an old venue that was strictly Country western and in the past few years is under new management, drawing in eclectic mix of talent. Could not recommend this place more. We frequent jazz clubs in New Orleans, New York, Chicago, and Paris and candidly the Rose Bowl ranks right up there only it’s so much more friendly, easy to access, and incredibly cost-effective. Very laid-back, you can take food in and enjoy the show. There is Usually no cover, they just pass a bucket. The talent level is fantastic. At the time of this post, they have Jazz every Friday from 5 to 7, a fantastic jazz band on the first Sunday 3 to 5, a world class Cajun band every second Sunday from 3 to 5, a

Attended two shows for the Pygmalion Festival. Venue was a fun and intimate place to see live entertainment and enjoy some great beers on tap! Safe, free, well lit close parking was a bonus. Many food choices nearby.

I love the rose bowl, Ive been a regular for a few years now. The environment is very friendly and they're always hosting fun events. Their the best nightlife spot in Urbana and they are an ally. They hose pride events and a lot of my fellow queers, gays, and thems hang out around here. Only complaint is that their sour selection is not good. :( as an advice sour consumer I wish they carried more and better choices. Maybe some Distilled sours or the dutchess 😋. Anyways if you haven't check out the rosebowl - look on their website to see which events are coming up, the live music and DJ's are great!
