Casbeers at the Church

Casbeers, in Southtown, offers two different ways to hear music. Downstairs in the cafe, you can hear local acts for free from Tuesday through Saturday nights. The kitchen serves burgers and enchiladas (the enchiladas are popular) and has a full bar. Upstairs, in the nave of the old church, you can hear larger acts for somewhere between $5 and $20, depending on the band. Most of the bands that play here are roots rock, blues, Tejano, country, or folk, anything from the Texas Tornadoes to Michele Shocked. The setting isn't much different from when it functioned as a Methodist church. The pews and the stained-glass windows are still intact. It wasn't a large church, so even the pews in back offer good views of the stage. You can buy tickets in advance online.
