The famous door refers to the front door of the bar that many celebrities and musicians have autographed. Inside there is a sunken dance floor situated in front of a glass-brick stage. The atmosphere is dark, loud, neon and raw. The acoustics and lighting system enhances the performances of the live New Orleans soul and blues bands. Later, when the live music ends, the older folks leave and the bar transforms into a dance club for the younger crowd. It is open from 4p onwards Monday to Wednesday, 3p onwards on Thursday till Friday and On Saturday and Sunday it is open from 2p.

Erin Rose, a Nascar-themed bar, which is smartly placed in an old apartment house. It may seem a little small for a bar, but once you enter you'll realize that there exists a front bar and a back bar, not to mention the kitchen which operates occasionally in preparing some bar food. It's quite a wooden and comfy place, where one can learn a little of Nascar history. Also, a jukebox to smoothen the mood in there. Do try the Frozen Irish Coffee. Erin Rose Merchandise i.e. Erin Rose hoodies and tees are also available at decent prices.
