BarFly's Review of The Know

While a number of out-of-the-way Northeast bars offer live music, few bother to take films as seriously. The Know designated half of their establishment as screening room, and the notion as much as the actual movies (though folks from all over town crowd their regular festivals) delights the steady stream of scenesters queuing for pinball and cans of Pabst - Now featuring liquor!
$1 select doms 4-8pm all 7.

Watch out Portland. The Know has booze. Just a little added bonus!

the know
My band, Night Pipe, played this bar. The sound guy was helpful and the drinks were cheap (and free for the band). Thanks.

Best Place On Alberta
This is my favorite place to drink on Alberta. They only serve beer and that's kind of a drag but it has a way better atmosphere than any of the other places on the strip. It feels more like a coffee shop than a bar...what with all the art on the walls.

The bar back there, sorry but I can't think of his name, is a fucking riot. He has this real gravely voice and an abundance of energy. He'll always give you a Hi-Fi after he grabs your empty beer bottle and will then say something you can't understand but oddly enough it makes you feel more welcome.

The show's there are good too. The high ceilings make for good acoustics and the theater stage is fun for bands. There's not a lot of seating in the room the bands play in so people have to stand up which can result in more dancing and fun.

There's only a few small TV screens there and they pretty much show only Cartoon Network so drinking by yourself there isn't that bad.

Hole-In-The-Wall With A Fun Personality
As with all Alberta Street, this is no less a part of its novelty. It's perfect for a quick cheap buzz with a group of friends before visiting the art along the street. The atmosphere is rustic (some of the furnishings are just plain exhumed). It is seriously a very small bar with a refrigerator full of Pabst for a buck or two. The staff is awesome, and yes, I do recommend it if you are in the area for the sheer "good god" of it, (because it's fun).
