    Great place for quiet conversation, just not Friday or Saturday.

    Busy Thursday night. If you want quiet, come on Sunday through Tuesday or possibly Wednesday.

    My quiet list recommendation does not apply to late on Friday and Saturday nights, but otherwise, if you want a place to actually talk to the people you came with, this is it. They have even installed acoustic solutions on the ceiling. Also, there are many private alcove spaces which are usually available Sunday through Thursday, or early on weekends. If you want to be more sociable, sit at the bar, as the bartenders are friendly and skilled at their craft.

    This bar is a quiet and senior-friendly venue from Sunday through Wednesday. They tend to play oldies which for me is now Motown, or vintage rock from the 60s thru the 80s. On the other nights it can get louder, with a younger crowd, but even then they seem to have figured out to keep the music at a reasonable level so people can talk.

    The Usual is great on weeknights, early in the evening. There are alcoves which also help to reduce the noise and create privacy. We are seniors, and feel totally comfortable in our little alcove. The venue attracts a wide range of ages and genders, so you need to be OK with that.
