This is the eat-and-drink side of live music: restaurants, breweries and bars that book live music. Schedules change week to week and season to season, so treat this as a list of rooms worth checking rather than a calendar — each venue's own site (or its Bandsintown page) has who's playing. For the concert side — the Stanley, the Landmark, Turning Stone's showroom, 443 Social Club in Syracuse, the Sylvan Beach bandstand — see the events boards.
