| One of the most unusual venue names downtown is Hanson's Shoe Repair. It's named for an actual shoe repair shop that occupied this address back in the early part of the 20th century. It's also a hidden speakeasy meaning you have to know where it is to find it and you have to call the afternoon of the evening you want to attend to obtain that night's password. It's one of the few speakeasys in this town that has remained successful. Sorry we can't tell you where it is! |

| Herman's Loan Office was another hidden gem but unlike Hanson's it did have a sign. It too was named for the actual business that existed in the front section of this building early last century. The clubs Backroom and Sound Bar were located in here but then completely gutted to become Herman's. Sadly, it didn't last long. However, an Alice In Wonderland-themed club is coming here soon! |

| Ann Teague's Lamp Supply is located in the spot where Suite B Lounge and Peek Downtown were located for years and the Celine Sports Bar lasted about a year. The beautiful bar you remember from Peek is still there and the place is crammed with antique lamps that are supposedly for sale. Interesting! |
