NOTHING...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING beats the java barn!!! If you have never been there you really just do not understand and wont till you go there.
I\'ll bet it\'s an awesome venue, however Butterfield will always hold the 1 spot.
Never been to the Butterfield but The Java Barn probably gives it a fair fight. We were told by the students who ran the place that the cops never show up on campus, which the barn is right in the center of, and public safety would not be stopping into the show. or as i like to say "no ID required"
on a side not, my friend just told me that Phish payed law enforcement to confiscate drugs from there show goers. I didn\'t believe it, but then i looked it up. it all adds up. sad.
