The Nook wants you to have a good time, and to make sure that happens they provide live music, weekly specials and a wide range of events. Bands booked to play here are usually from the classic rock and roll and blues genre, though there may be some contemporary rock music mixed in. On Tuesdays, enjoy a drink while you are munching down German dishes during German Food Night, and when the holidays roll around, attend either their Christmas or New Year's Party, or both. The Nook Tavern is open Monday through Saturday until midnight.

The KaffeeKlatsch leads a double life. By day it is a trendy spot to get some coffee and read the paper. By night it morphs into a place considered to be one of the best live music venues in Huntsville. Not only do they offer a full bar of beer, wine and liquor options, the KaffeeKlatsch also has daily acoustic rock and blues bands playing for their visitors. You can sit inside the small bar and take in the crowd, or head out to the sidewalk seating area and watch the city go by while you have your drinks.

If you are looking for a place to have a meal as well as a few drinks, the Voodoo Lounge is happy to offer a large menu that includes appetizers, sandwiches, salads and grilled items from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. They like to keep the place hopping with live blues music as well as with other types of bands, and keep a full monthly schedule of musical offerings. Between band nights they give up the floor for open mic nights and karaoke nights, so there are very few moments where some kind of music isn't wafting through the air at the Voodoo Lounge.
