The Vibe: Laid back, definitely. With almost 6,000 square feet of floor space split between upstairs and downstairs levels, Sweet Jane's is more than large enough to pack in the crowds, but the friendly, down to earth wait and bar staff seem like seasoned pros at making you feel, regardless of the crowd, as though you've actually stepped into a quaint, quite neighborhood pub. And the eight big screen TVs mounted behind the bar and at judicious locations around the dining area are usually kept tuned to the local area favorites, so you don't have to worry about missing the big game for a night out. Upstairs features two pool tables, a darts and video game area, and a jukebox.
The Music: Varies per day or night. Tuesdays are open mic night, so single acts or full bands are more than welcome to jump up on stage and jam. Wednesdays are reggae themed. A guest DJ typically spins 80's rock all night long on Thursdays. Fridays are a bit mellower in tone, devoted to live acoustic performers. And on Saturday nights Sweet Jane's hosts a local area band, most often featuring a nice mixture of original stuff and cover tunes. Story
