Yelp.com Review - by Hyunoo P.

5.0 of 5 stars. Local 506 is my savior. Staying in Chapel Hill for 3 weeks and not knowing anyone would have amounted to misery had it not been for the sonic gems adorning this place. It's one of those charming...

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this place. Some of my favorite musical memories resonate from within its walls (though top honors belong to the dearly departed Go! Room 4 which is now the Resevoir). A nice selection at the...

Yelp.com Review - by Brian W.

3.0 of 5 stars. Local 506 is a good winter-time venue. In the warmer months a crowded show is murder here as there does not seem to be any sort of ventilation whatsoever. I saw Johnathan Richman here a few years...

Yelp.com Review - by Ben M.

3.0 of 5 stars. If you want to catch the band before they were the darlings of Chapel Hill, just hang out here a few nights in a row and eventually you'll be in at the ground floor with someone that's going places....

Yelp.com Review - by Cella S.

3.0 of 5 stars. Drove out all the way from PA to go to a reunion show here. It's a neat little music venue. I don't get the $3 membership fee though and the fact that the bar allows smoking is a big turn-off for...

Yelp.com Review - by Emily P.

3.0 of 5 stars. I go back and forth on how I feel about local 506. They get some awesome bands to play there, some slightly less awesome local bands, and the cover is always pretty low. That's said, the place is...

Yelp.com Review - by Adrienne E.

4.0 of 5 stars. Local 506 is the perfect place to catch independent bands (local or otherwise) in a divey yet intimate setting. There is a $3 membership fee, but I believe they admit guests 18 & up for most shows (of...

Yelp.com Review - by Eric M.

5.0 of 5 stars. This club gets the best small acts of any of the clubs in the area. There's a (one time) membership fee to be paid at the door (stupid NC liquor laws) but once you get inside you can expect the finest...

Yelp.com Review - by William J.

4.0 of 5 stars. The last word in Chapel Hill dive bar/music venues. This place makes the Cat's Cradle look like Madison Square Garden.The venue is tiny in every way, it's dirty and dark and creepy... Believe me,...

Yelp.com Review - by Henry S.

3.0 of 5 stars. In order to see shows at Local 506, you have to be a member (it's less than $5 though). The venue hosts local bands from the Triangle area, and that's about it. The space is relatively small and the...

4.0 of 5 stars. I loves this place! Very casual and intimate. Great music and affordable entry prices. I just saw Gary Jules a few weeks ago and Bell X1 there recently. Drinks prices are pretty standard, but they do...

pretty good

Local 506 is a member's only club. But I guess that's not so bad considering membership is only something like five dollars. They have a lot of random bands playing all the time. Some are really good ...
