LIVE @ PABS
Beer Bar & Live Music Venue
LIVE @ PABS was created with one goal in mind: to bring people together through great beer, great music, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. What started inside a neighborhood bike shop has grown into a one-of-a-kind beer bar and live music venue where community, creativity, and good vibes all come together.
Our bar features a curated selection of craft beers, rotating specialties, unique seltzers, and a strong lineup of non-alcohol options — something for everyone, whether you're settling in for a show or stopping by to unwind with friends.
When the lights go down, LIVE @ PABS becomes an intimate performance space built for true music discovery. We proudly host artists who perform 100% original music — absolutely no cover songs. This keeps our stage fresh, authentic, and supportive of genuine songwriting talent. With a comfortable capacity of around 100 guests, every performance feels personal and up close.
We also believe in treating musicians with respect. That’s why bands keep every dollar collected at the door. We handle the staffing and production costs so artists can walk away with what they deserve — a rare model that puts the musicians first.
From laid-back hangs to electric show nights, LIVE @ PABS is all about memorable moments. Come for a drink, stay for the music, and be part of a growing community that celebrates originality, creativity, and connection.
Welcome to LIVE @ PABS — where the beer is curated, the music is original, and the door is always open.
