The atmosphere in this bar on weekdays is vastly different than it is on weekends. On weekdays, it plays music ranging from R&B to contemporary hits to classics of the '70s and '80s geared toward an older crowd, but also fun for younger patrons. On the weekends, the dynamic of the bar changes completely, with faster-paced club music and a cover charge to get in. Blue Note also has a karaoke night, for musical aspirants of all ages.

Grab a taste of old Mexico at Casa Azteca. This fine establishment is family owned and has been serving the community authentic Mexican cuisine since 1980.
House specialties include milanesa, pan-fried breaded slices of tender steak served with tortillas and steak a la Mexicana, bite-size pieces of steak sautéed with tomatoes, onions and bell peppers and served with tortillas.
