As a business traveller who is also a musician, I am always looking for good live music in the cities I find myself. Found a nice spot in NODA.
The Evening Muse is a cool small music venue. I liked the vibe as soon as I opened the door to enter. There is an actual stage with good sound and lights (as opposed to bars that just stick musicians in a corner). The seating is theater-style with rows of chairs. People are attentive and listening to the musicians while they are playing.
The Evening Muse is a real music venue where the music is the focal point.
Worthy. :)
