Neighborhood Bar & Gaming turns up the volume for Halloween Eve with a lineup of live rock bands taking over the stage. Silverside brings their Nickelback tribute to the crowd, backed by Redmoon One and Chemical Tribe for a full night of guitar riffs and drum fills that'll rattle the walls of this west-side tavern. The bar's usual mix of slot machines, pool tables, and dart boards gets a Halloween twist with a costume contest for anyone bold enough to dress up and rock out.

This one's a no-cover night, so the only cost of admission is showing up ready to headbang. Club colors stay at the door, but costumes are encouraged – the kind of crowd that leans into a good tribute act and doesn't mind sweating through a flannel or a wig while a Nickelback cover band works through the hits. With doors opening early in the evening, there's plenty of time to grab a seat, order some bar food, and settle in before the amps get cranked.

The venue itself is built for this kind of night: a 24-hour neighborhood tavern that's hosted its share of live music, karaoke, and open mics, with a kitchen that keeps running no matter how late the bands play. Table reservations are available for anyone who wants to lock down a spot before the room fills up with rockers in costume.
