The Rusty Nail- Ardmore, PA

Head out to the western suburbs of Philadelphia and in the town of Ardmore you will a little place that situated around car repair shops and with SEPTA's high speed line zipping along behind it. This is the Rusty Nail.

Music
From a musical standpoint, unless you are a fan of amateur metal, it may be a stretch for your musical brain strings. Don't let that stop you, though, as you never know if you have that inner metalhead just waiting to come out. 
Thursday through Sunday are your main nights for music. Every Thursday is open mic, bands every Friday and Saturday, and Sunday being more of a mix. Sunday varies between different types of open mics, such as blues open mic (contrary to what was said above about the music being metal, genres can vary). Every few weeks, Sunday will also feature the Live at The Nail radio show, recorded live at the Rusty Nail.  

The Venue
Its not the most encouraging looking place from the outside, but its a good size for its intended purpose. The Nail is split into two sides: the bar and pool/stage. You can easily pull up to the bar (beer selection isn't to bad) and still have a good be able to feel part of the music. On the right side is the pool table and up toward the front is where the bands set up. Nothing fancy, but it works.
