Editorial Review for Darwin's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
A vibrant white sign signals the door to this spacious corner spot. Looming in the center is the square bar, capped with four televisions typically tuned to sports. Dark wood accents, crests and a few animal heads contribute to the medieval-like feel. Being situated right alongside the competition encourages stray barhoppers. The daily drink specials, live music three nights a week and few tables are sprinkled throughout make this a popular spot for socializing.

Darwin's is a place where you can get good grub,good beer,and you meet the best people in town. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff makes you feel at home. We have had several happy hour get -togethers and the owner as well as the staff are very attentive and they want to make sure we are having a good time. CJ is the owner with a hot, gorgeous body, plus an awesome cook and I just want to have his baby...and drink some beer!!! Great place to hang out!!
Pros: great staff, awesome specials
Cons: they are not open 24/7

This isn't a food or drink review but a big recommendation for an upcoming gig at Darwin's. Saturday night, March 15 at 8 pm, a little ole band from Louisville, Kentucky , Marion Square, will be playing. These kids are the real deal! Their music is a great mix of acoustic-based, slightly psychedelic, slightly alt melodies and strong lyrics (by drummer Ian Willmot and guitarist Brian Goodwin), with the tasteful electric lead guitar of Brent Wilkenson and the especially strong vocals of McCall Cruse. While they are hard to define musically, they give a totally enjoyable stage show that appeals to a wide-range of musical tastes. Catch this band so some day you can say "I saw them at Darwin when they were just starting out." You won't be disappointed. Come early for dinner and leave late. If I wasn't in London, England, I would be there.
