Zanzabar Music Venue ·$$

Zanzabar is a local institution. Since its opening in 1938 it has changed templates many times, but it has always remained a local watering hole. The recent incarnation has it all, from old-school arcade games and pinball tournament nights to local farm-to-table food and live music, things have surely changed since those prewar days. The food and drinks are outstanding, but a lot of people come just to revert back to their childhood with games like Paperboy, Asteroids, Frogger and Donkey Kong. When you add the live music, this version of Zanzabar appears as if it is the best one in the last 80 years.

Zanzabar is a neat hangout! I came for a concert this Friday and thought there was ample space and fun lighting. Outside of the concert space, there is plenty of seating both inside and outside....

Love this spot. Feels like a true locals bar. They are always down to host a community event, a pop-up market, a pop-up kitchen. The bartenders handle a rush calmly and efficiently. Recently went...
