501 Club grand opening this Friday

Though the club has technically been open for a few weeks now, the 501 Club on Washington Avenue will celebrate its official opening this Friday, which is coincidentally May 1 or 5.01. Owned by Jarret Oulman, who also runs the 331 Club in Northeast, the 501 will offer daily drink specials, cheap eats (nothing on the menu is over $10) and live music almost every night of the week. Like the 331, the 501 club shows will be free and 21+. The club opening party will feature sets by Retribution Gospel Choir (led by Low's Alan Sparhawk), Lookbook, and Communist Daughter. The venue will have a small, free parking lot, and street parking in the area is free after 10 p.m. Check out the 501 website for more details.
