Jimi Hendrix Cafe

Northern Atlantic Coast


From Diabat to Woodstock. This low-key cafe is dedicated to all things Hendrix – who may or may not have hung out here back in the day – with walls plastered in faded photographs and artistic renditions of the rock legend. Hum along to 'All Along the Watchtower' while you sip a mint tea.
