Also love the values of this place- really a space for community, art, and advocating for liberation- so cool to see and get to support. Edit: I had the chance to watch a Wednesday poetry slam and it was Amazing! The featured poet, Brandon Leake, had WON America’s got talent so I knew he’d be amazing but every other poet there held their own and delivered such awesome, raw performances! I felt very lucky to have spontaneously dropped by that day. ALSO the root beer or soda floats that they do are super yummy if you have a big sweet tooth like me or don’t drink alcohol but still want to support an awesome establishment.

This is the real traditional Irish dance. They have their own style, like a village in County Clare in Ireland might have. They have been doing this at The Starry Plough for 50 years. And this is just the Monday night I am raving about. Check out their calendar for other music and events.

I stumbled into the Monday Irish dance class, and it was just awesome happiness all around : I felt so lucky that my Airbnb was just minutes away and I decided to stop by. I was told later that its Tu NightOpen Mike was also a well-known community activity.
