text: I love The Evening Muse. Such an intimate venue in the heart of NoDa. \n\nGreat place to catch a duo on tour or head over on Mondays for open mic. Seen many a show here and have never been disappointed. You can't go wrong with the bar either. A few local options and all come in venue-friendly bottles. Beware: there is a tab limit if you're using a card. I think its $6, unless it has changed recently. \n\nIt's a great place to stop in and take a load off. Listen to the local talent and take in the arts district. There are typically seats put out for all but its even better when it's standing room only. You can pack a surprisingly large group of people in this little place. \n\nYou can buy tickets ahead of time on their website, too. Don't always have to pay at the door. \n\nYou can't go wrong with The Evening Muse. What a great place for music, poetry and general assembly of beer-craving locals!
