Eat, shop, explore, repeat. We get it, some days free time can be monotonous. This fall, spice up your leisure time in downtown New Haven by visiting one of our city’s beloved live music venues. Whether you like multi-piece jazz arrangements or head-banging indie rock, these five venues offer up atmosphere, cocktails, and music history. Take, for example, Toad’s Place, which over the last 50 years has hosted such talents as Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Drake, and Cardi B. The venue hosts the best local talent every Saturday night for Connecticut’s biggest weekly dance party: all that, plus four more venues just like it.
