Showroom opens in the late afternoons and stays open through 10 pm, some nights later, if there’s a show going on. It’s just one more option in a neighborhood that offers so many fun experiences for visitors. {Showroom Bar at Motor House, 120 W. North Avenue, Station North}
The stretch of North Avenue between Howard Street and Charles Street has become a vibrant part of the heart of the Station North Arts District.
Over the past few years, as it’s grown, it’s become part of my regular circuit of stops. Change is a factor as the neighborhood evolves: Joe Squared has moved its digs over a block to a more upscale space, but still helps anchor the area. The loss of Liam Flynn’s Irish Pub last year was a blow, and Red Emma’s has just announced a move to Mt. Vernon. But glossy openings like the new Parkway Theatre complex and the continued presence of the Windup Space, Metro Gallery, the Charles Theater, Tapas Teatro, Pen & Quill and others make this a vibrant part of the city for creatives.
