A total dive bar with a Dead Head theme, Owsley's has a huge patio where live bands play (cover $5 to $20) and a back room with a pool table and a couple of pinball machines. Stick to beer and you'll be good. The bar is named after Owsley Stanley III, the Grateful Dead's original sound man and financial backer.
