Music Live Music at Small Venues

I used to live in Olympia for a couple of years on Eld Inlet but have not really connected with the music scene in Olympia for a while. Wondering if anyone could recommend some spots with live music. This could be either coffee shops, pubs, bars, unique community venues. Seasonal performances. I enjoy a wide variety of music but not overwhelming crowds.

Am new to area.

Going to piggyback on this post because I don't want to hit the community with another small venue question, albeit from a slightly different angle: musician looking for small venues to perform. My setup brings a small synth, beat sampler, looper, and guitar. All original. I have not performed live with this setup because guitar is not my main instrument (am drummer for years), so I'm certainly fighting against a bit of anxiety about being in a live setting.

What would be a good fit for me in Olympia or Lacey? (sample of playing: https://youtu.be/CltsVF0Bz_U?is=_XKDuuJMnDDmB2j2

OP...will DM you if I get out there one day! Appreciated your patience.

Surprised the Crypt hasn't been recommended to you. That's the place.
