Recently opened bar with live music nightly. The Know definitely has a grittier, darker vibe, and the bands are generally will match that. There is usually a cover charge under $10, I think depending on when you walk in.

Food Scene
Because it's a killer burger! And their fries are amazing. Warning - one burger can probably feed two people. They put bacon on every burger, and if you're feeling daring their peanut butter bacon burger is quite rich (though not my favorite).
