Harbour Lights
Location: 1031 Massachusetts
The inside of this bar speaks of its name-sake. The cool night air blows through the open front door and with it comes an image of a Maine fishing village with the lighthouse flashing in the night and the waves lapping against the shore. Well, okay, maybe not totally, but this blue-collar bar is definitely the hang-out if you're wanting to chill out in some cracking black vinyl booths with one of its many tap beers. It's a little dirty, a little trashy and best of all, real.
Just added a back patio for the cigarette smoking folk.

Zykos
Who??
The Austin, Texas five-piece just released its self-titled, sophomore effort and will charm pants off at the Jackpot Saloon & Music Hall this Friday with Minus Story. The 21+ show will cost you $5.
Interview with Michael Booher, vocals/guitar for Zykos
What does Zykos mean?
Booher: Zykos is actually nonsense.
Our drummer's last name is Cykoski and it was similar and it stuck.
You're from Austin — will the Kansas football team upset UT in Lawrence this year? Booher: Absolutely not. Although, UT likes to lose games that they're supposed to win.
If you were locked in a room and forced to listen to either Hilary Duff's album, Lindsay Lohan's or Céline Dion's new baby tribute album — which would you choose?
Booher: Hilary Duff without a doubt. I could feel like I was back at the mall again. Céline Dion is unlistenable and I haven't heard Lindsay Lohan's stuff.
If Bill O'Reilly said he wanted to rub a falafel on you, how would you respond in a professional manner? Booher: I probably wouldn't respond professionally — he never treats other people professionally. I'd probably tell him to shut up.
U2, REM and Green Day have new albums coming out. Which bands are still relevant?
Booher: I think U2 and REM are still relevant. I like U2.I might not sound hip but I've listened to them since junior high and they put on a great live show.
