Best Place for Live Music: Readers' Choice
Be it a rock 'n' roll band, solo violinist or jazz trio, live music energizes your outing.
There is no music like live music ... a live performance can be the background to a pleasant dinner or the focal point of an evening out.
This week we want to know: where in town is the best place to hear live music? Is there a restaurant with strolling mariachi band? Or perhaps a harpist that plays at tea. Or maybe a rollicking rock venue that's a great place to socialize.
Beginning today -- Sunday, May 20 -- and through 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 23, we'll be asking for your recommendations for places to hear live music.
Give us your recommendation in the comments section below. With your help, we'll put together a list of nominees. Then look for our poll on Thursday, May 24 and vote! We'll select a winner at 5 p.m. Friday, May 25 and announce it in a story on Saturday, May 26.
In judging, we'll consider comments, poll votes and reviews in our complete directory of local businesses. Be sure to check out our contest rules in the PDF at right.

Other than an occasional Mariachi band @ El Rodeo and a pianist at Skye, do we actually have any live music in Mentor?

Hooley House will often feature live music. One of the things I miss most about Seekers is the jam nights.

Lots of places have bands from time to time. Quaker Steak, Hooley, Lakeshore Lounge, Livewire, Toth's Place, Newtown...I'm sure I've even missed a few. I also miss Seekers, that was a nice place.

Hooley has the best variety of music and their patio rocks!

At Witz End has some very good bands every weekend. But it's in Willoughby, so I don't know if that qualifies.
