Plain Folk Live continues to be a community-oriented gathering place offering good food, good beer, and good music in an historical setting... we're just plain folk looking to have a good time! Enjoy our fresh-brewed gourmet coffee, craft beer selection, cafe menu, and live entertainment inside; or on a nice day, sit outside under the covered pavillion. There's even a full jungle gym / playground

for the kids! In the summer months, look for live music in the gazebo and a grill menu. Featuring live folk/acoustic/bluegrass music, Plain Folk Live is open Thursday through Sunday. Check out our Events page to find out what's going on this week! We're still Plain Folk...
