Live Music @ LC
Live music is a cornerstone of the Last Call experience. We bring in talented local artists each Friday and Saturday evening to create an intimate, engaging atmosphere that perfectly complements our cocktails and low-lit setting. From heartfelt acoustic sets to more upbeat performances, the music here is meant to enhance the night — not overpower it.
Please note: Our live music season runs through October 31st. After that, we’ll be closing briefly to transform the space into our annual Winter Wonderland pop-up bar, reopening mid-November with a festive new look and menu.
