John Harbor’s Caught Fire

In case you have not heard, the news has had two consecutive Fridays where there has been over 100 people in the main room listening to live music. www.johnharbors.com

 

 

John Harbor’s is across the street from the Associated Bank on Main Street and is an untraditional Coffee House. They serve good food and are friendly hospitable folk. This is the kind of place people tell me we need in the Falls but never seem to support. Well, at least the last part has changed. You can get a good cup of Joe, a nice wine or a beer in a totally smoke free environment. You can even get a Bourbon but you have to spell it for Jeremy, the bartender.

 

 

The main room looks like a hip living room and is an ideal place to have a meeting or to hear live music-a rarity in this village. It is a great place to take your spouse, friends or even your kids if it is early enough and they like Gelato.

 

 

Two weeks ago there was a trio of Arrowhead High School girls playing music to a group of supporters, along with seniors, middle aged men and women, some wearing Harley gear and some wearing western wear (me). Everyone was getting along just fine.

 

 

While most of the bars I frequent these days only serve lettuce and tomatoes, I don’t normally find myself hanging with HS kids, but these were kids who were mature beyond their age. It was fun to watch them have fun. I would hope my kids spend Friday night this way when they get to be that age.

 

There are some events on May 2nd and 3rd that will benefit kid's organizations so what better time to check this place out for yourself.
