A converted house on Fourth Street that now ranks as the top blues bar in the 'Burg, Ringside Cafe has a tiny stage that has been rocked by national rockers. They include Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers) and local hero Damon Fowler, among others. On Friday and Saturday nights, the living-room sized dance floor teems with people getting down to greasy grooves. Speaking of greasy, Ringside Cafe serves food in addition to wonderfully strong liquor drinks, table wines and mostly domestic beer.
