The Barking Spider is one of the best venues in town for seeing live music, as they nearly always have one (and usually two) acts per night. My jazz quartet has played there on several occasions, and we always get treated well. It is conveniently located for Case employees and students, so you typically get a broad range of ages of people at your shows. The intimate setting (especially the fireplace going in the wintertime) guarantee everyone is close to the action, so to speak. They have a good selection of draft and bottled beers.
