Make time for these
For decades the Unicorn was known for live blues and rock bands on weekends; after a later run as the Unicorn Lounge it closed during the COVID era. New co-owners Ashley Sevenski and Bob Fata reopened it as the Unicorn Bar with a grand opening in September 2026, offering live music, pool tables and leagues, and pizza from Fata's Westgate Tavern.
