The New Parish is a dark, intimate and energetic music venue that features performances by national musicians and DJs. Its eclectic range of artists offers everything from electronic music and reggae, to bossa nova to name a few. They also have a monthly DJ event which combines great music with local painters, jewelry-makers and clothing vendors that reside on the upper mezzanine level for patrons to peruse when taking a break from the dance floor. The centrally placed stage and nearby courtyard allow for a variety of experiences, easily allowing for either a great view of the show or a break from the action. Drinks are reasonably priced (strong) and the overall vibe is quite welcoming.
