A great list of coffeehouses, bars, coffeehouses that serve alcohol (coffeebars?), festivals, and the like...
The Wolf's Lair Restaurant a Black Wolf Vineyards in central NC is a gorgeous setting with fantanstic food and wine.
One of our hometown faves...
Great coffee in California, MD.
They got the scoop on java 'n' juke! A great musician and music-lover's resource run by Annette Warner.
Now here's a good idea...combine your classic university coffeehouse with a liquor license and what do you get? a pretty amazing place to listen to Watermelon Sugar....
Helios proudly serves fine coffee, espresso, beer, wine and independent music among other great stuff in Raleigh's south Glenwood district.
Fabulous little music club located in Chestnut Hill, funky, paint peeling with incredible stained glass and a gorgeous 100 year old mahogany bar...I mean really. Who wouldn't want to play here?
Watermelon Sugar was part of Mamapalooza at this large restaurant and bar in the Dulles suburbs. We enjoyed it and so will you.
A committed cooperative coffeehouse and restaurant in Greenbelt. We love these folks and they love good music!
The Open Eye, intimate, caffeine powered, and musically astute. Just what WS ordered...
This lovely new venue in Apex, NC is trying to bring caffeinated, musical civilization to the suburbs and doing a bang-up job.
A lovely, eclectic landmark in historic downtown Fountain, or as the website says, "Smack-dab in the middle of everywhere!"
The Ragged Edge is the first venue WS ever played (an open mic in 2003). Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the Ragged Edge is a wonderful setting for a caffeine buzz and some indie folk. Jake Schindel is the proprietor and a terrific host.
Not really a dedicated music venue, Retro on 8th is a store dedicated to the cool things of the mid-century modernity...furniture, lighting, accessories and collectibles from the 1950's through 1980's. Proprietors Jennifer Horovitz and Hayley Kile have been huge supporters of Watermelon Sugar, and the band played one of our first shows at an open house at the store back in early 2004.
Louise played here as part of the NC Songwriters Cooperative -- WS will be playing here soon!
A fun place in Adams Morgan with great music and a balcony from which roses or beer bottles can be thrown depending on whether you love or hate the band...
Beautiful coffee house in the heart of Greensboro, walking distance to UNCG. WiFi, speed chess, and coffee concoctions to swoon over, pastries, desserts, plus wonderful music. We love it here!
A new bohemian coffeehouse in Danville, VA. Micah Robinson owns and runs...the man has a 12 channel Mackie system and a custom blended coffee...we're salivating.
The New York Times has called this fair trade cafe & community hub “a haven for indie film, live music and literary readings.”
A laundro lounge in beautiful Wilmington, NC. Where else can you listen to great music and wash your dirty laundry?
WS did a live interview and performance with Berkeley Grimball on his show, The Hook, on this community radio station in NC. These guys are the real deal so if you're ever in the Carrboro/Chapel Hill area give a listen!
One of our favorite coffeebars with great food and a great listening audience!
A fun music venue, restaurant and gift shop located in historic Thomas, WV, atop the beautiful Allegheny mountains.
