The Terminal bar has been around for awhile and is set up to look like a towny bar in NE. It has a small following and sometimes books good live music which is featured almost nightly, but usually includes a cover charge.



The bar is pretty small and usually packed with a younger of 20-somethings and usually on the alternative side (They like to get punk bands, but not as extreme as the Triple Rock on the Westbank campus).



That being said, it is important to note that drinks here fluctuate in price based on the different shows. Its good for the punk crowd in NE. In the same neighborhood is the Elbow room for dancing or Jitters for chilling. Also, during the summer on the weekends is free shows a few blocks away on St. Anthony Main.

Flem and Jason are two of my favorite people around. This bar has so much character, Screw Whitey's and screw the Bulldog.

Great bar to go to if you just want to have some fun. Lots of great stuff to look at when the pretty people aren't around. Does the 60's Pepsi Machine still work? What's with the eerie Leprechaun Irish Whiskey bottles? Can you say "Antiques Road Show". Look between all the junk behind the bar and you'll see an awesome Art Deco-ish bar back. Yes the bathrooms need a complete overhaul and the stage is very small but still a great bar to go to when you don't want to spend your evening with the pretentious gits at the other bars in the area. Another plus is the party out in the back. Jesse you're one of the hardest working bartenders in town, keep up the great work! Cowboys From Hell rocked on Friday night, see them when you can. Matt, you're a HOTTIE!

Yes the bathrooms suck. No if you go to Whiteys or the Bull Dog you pay even more! Remember this is a smaltime bar that has been here since 1932. The bar caters to bands because they want too. It is always easy to go to a site to complain but often forgoten to go and compliment. So let me be the first. I hope this bar is around for another 75 years!

I hate porta potties but I'd love to have one instead of using the bathrooms in this place. Over priced drinks that the owner doesn't fill to the top. Clean the place up!

Unfriendly, rude staff that charged too much for drinks and refused to give any of the girls in our group anything but plastic glasses. (Weird, I know.) When there's Bulldog next door and Whitey's across the street, why would anyone ever bother going to The Terminal?
