Description

The first thing you'll see when approaching The Usual is its outdoor patio, which is as relaxed as the Heights bar's clean, dimly lit interior. Suds connoisseurs may be a bit surprised at the variety of beers on tap, and the price is right, too - especially during The Usual's weekday happy hours (6-10 p.m. Mondays; 4-10 p.m. the rest of the week). Tuesday is steak night with $1 Lone Stars, adventurous customers take the stage on karaoke Thursdays and DJ Joy de la O opens up the "Joy Factory" Saturdays. Occasional live music and pinball, darts and pool in the back room round out The Usual's attractions.

    Laid back kind of place. Small & cozy. Good live music. Huge outdoor patio. Seems like they have drink specials almost every day. Karaoke. Only bad thing is the parking is limited - small lot, plus side streets parking with no real shoulders, so it's kind of hard parking on the streets.
