The second floor is all rock and roll with a longstanding live music room that features both touring and local original music bands. The Hi Pointe had traditionally been a hangout for Blues hockey fans back when the old barn was still in use. The crowd has continued to evolve, but the elbow to elbow crowds during hockey games no longer jam the bar. The theater has limited crossover with the bar, but it does create general traffic for the area. A new New York style pizza place that sells by the slice has opened up on the other side of the theater, but has yet to attract drunken bar goers like the always overly crowded Del Taco.
Music sets the preliminary tone with an eclectic blend of rock, indie, hip hop, rockabilly and punk.
Scene regulars usually meet up here before heading out to various other venues such as the Way Out, Creepy Crawl, Galaxy or they just head upstairs. Beer can be cheap in this bar, depending on which poison you pick. This is one of the sure ways the bar keeps up relations with the more punk rock crowd. First timers who drive might take note that there is parking, but you will have to look across McCausland in the bank lot for the plethora of open spaces. Do not park in the gas station lot or keep your car overnight in the bank lot or risk being towed.
