My local bar, within walking distance of me, has a prime time band play early on Tuesdays, 6:30-9:30 for the mature folks. They often have a dinner special too. (I bring my own Advil, haha.) Usually have to wait until 9pm or 10pm to hear the good music, so it's nice to have the Tuesday option.
I, too, would patronize that establishment! I hate going out with a friend or friends to a restaurant where the music is so loud that you cannot have any conversation. We don't go out simply to dine, but to enjoy dining WITH someone!
Especially because more and more of the people I hang out with wear hearing aids, and the noise of some restaurants just make it impossible for them to follow the conversation.
