The Refuge is a classic downtown bar with a band of dedicated and friendly regulars + a large amount of traffic from the people passing through the area. Quality, seasoned, and friendly staff get you good drinks quickly.



The Refuge mostly plays a mix of top40 and classic 80's tracks, making it one of the most Un-pretentious and easy going bars in downtown. This, combined with the great specials, make it one of our favorites.

This place doesn't have a crowd whenever I go. It has a tiny dance floor, and people here don't really socialize with new people, from what I can tell.

It's a bit of a frat boy repository, for sure, but a great, cheap place to start the night.

Hey KD, are you a bartender or a waitress?

Hey stupid Joe Schmoe- they don't charge a cover here dude!

I wonder which 5 star ratings weren't posted by the staff? I can't believe this place has a cover! Funny.
