The Usual Adds Signage
The Usual, the sleek new bar on Magnolia Avenue in the Near Southside, has now gotten rid of the long-running vinyl banner and installed their new signage. Large chrome letters projected out from the brick wall of the building, which will presumably soon be lit at night. We think it looks great, and it’s a wonderful match for the Usual’s striking modern interior.
While we’re on the subject of the Usual, Brad tells us the place’s operating hours are 3:00 PM to 2:00 AM.


Love that sign! It totally fits the place!
My girlfriend and I had the chance of stopping by The Usual for one of there many drinks, and I must say it is a great place, especially being so close to the Spiral Dinner.
Cool place for sure, spent a lot of time there last night at the neighborhood party. I’ll definitely be back for more good times and beverages. I am curious about the jukebox, a very odd (madonna, nickleback) selection of music for such a cool bar…and heaters on the patio would be cool…but now I’m just being greedy. Great job to everyone involved in the project!
Jeremy,
I’ve been told that the jukebox is only temporary while they wait on a flat-screen Internet jukebox.
Yes, the jukebox was pretty weird. It was 80s night when I was there apparently. Good to hear it is temporary. Hope they find some subtle artwork for the walls too- it’s pretty stark in there!
