Editorial Review for Barking Spider Tavern – by Tim Piai

In Short
The Spider hides behind Arabica Coffeehouse in a semi-wooded nook that qualifies as an urban escape--with beer. The building (once a series of horse stables) maintains a rustic interior that opens to a patio with picnic tables. Invaluable on a beautiful summer night (short-term outdoor bars are scarce in the snowbelt,) the patio is the perfect place to sit-- a cool corner where music of all types drifts out from the main room.

The Draw
Anyone hoping to experience the Spider at its most intriguing can show up for the twice-monthly open-mic nights. But unlike most "open" sessions at area bars, there's no cheesy suit singing "YMCA." Whether it's an Irish reel band, a bongo-playing exchange student or an accordion player performing Italian silent film scores, you will always experience something that is hard to explain to the cul-de-sac gang.

Editor's Review

This Case campus classic is a back-alley hideaway that boasts an eclectic crowd. Think the Chieftains hanging with doctorate Deadheads.  See the full editorial review.
