Editorial Review for The Poor House – by Lesley Abravanel
In Short
The Poor House is still the place where the unpretentious can go for a beer and live music from local acts. A neighborhood mainstay, the Poor House is especially known for blues, funk and rock music. The rickety wooden stage decorated with license plates and hubcaps is reminiscent of a backwoods bar, but the crowd isn't hillbilly. On any given night, the place is packed with both the jeans and T-shirt types and the suits.

I don't know what the mens room looks like,but I have been coming to this bar since it opened.Please do something with the ladies room.It's disgusting.Where is the health dept?Isnt this an issue for them? This used to be a little more happening.I like that it's a bar for post punks and goths,etc..That would be me as well.But many of our scene has died of overdoses or moved.I like that it's a getaway from all the meatheads,sorority girls,jocks.But that shouldn't be the only reason why I go to a bar.There used to be so many hot guys that would hang out there.I never see any hotties.Unless they bring along their girlfriend.
Pros: bartenders
Cons: bathrooms and unattractive men

Well, going there was truly an experience. We went there on Friday night at 9:30pm and nobody was there. No music, no bands, no happy hour, and NO people! Alot happening at the other bars on the street. The Poor House is soooo poor. Needs alot of work done. Thank goodness it is dark in there. Be very careful using the bathroom ladies. Anything can crawl out of the holes in the walls. Thank goodness they do not serve food there. I can truly say that the bartender was a sweetheart. Great guy! I felt sorry for him being there all alone. Do not recommend, go somewhere else.
Pros: The Bartender
Cons: parking, the place is poorly rundown, no band, no food, no people,
