On the corner of State and Crown, Cafe Nine sits in an 1880s building that the New Haven Independent's Micro-Histories traced back to the lower State Street shot-and-beer taverns of the old dry-goods district. It has been a hole-in-the-wall music room for decades, cheap drinks and live bands most nights, from punk to doo-wop. Come for a beer and a shot and whoever is on the small stage; the room's history is half the reason to go.
