The Lobo Sports Vault takes over the screening room inside one of Central Avenue's landmark theaters for a full Saturday of college football, with a buffet running through the early afternoon and the Lobos game on the big screen whenever the schedule allows. The all-ages window closes at 10 PM, after which it goes 18-plus,...
Carlos Steele takes the stage at Marble's downtown taproom, one of the more reliable spots on the corridor for catching a live set without fighting for a sightline. The room fills fast on weekend nights, so arriving early gets you a spot closer to the stage and, frankly, better access to the bar. A ticket...
Felix y Los Gatos bring their Latin-rooted sound to the Marble Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good live rooms on this stretch of Central. The indoor stage sits close to the bar, which keeps the energy dense even on a slow night. A ticket link is up, so lock in early rather than...

The 1922 Nosferatu gets the full treatment here: bingo cards, DJ Fishbowl on the soundtrack, and cold beer in a building that was itself once a little creepy. Painted Lady...
Gaia's Kava Root is throwing an 18-plus Halloween party with a haunted maze built into the space, which is a genuinely different move for a kava bar on Central. The...
