Mohawk Place

Mohawk place was started in 1990 by one Pete Perrone. Pete renovated the bar after it had been vacated for quite some time. Still, he preserved much of its interior to closely mirror what it looked like almost a hundred years prior, when it was a turn-of-the-century gin mill.

By the early 1990s, Mohawk Place began hosting shows on its tiny stage. Many local and national blues acts began to play here, gaining quite a bit of notoriety over the years. In 1995, the bar started to bring in underground acts from all over the country as well as original local bands and a younger crowd began to rub elbows with the bikers.

In 2002, after years of talk, Mohawk Place expanded its size to a 300-person-capacity venue. The back rooms, the kitchen and the old bathrooms were taken out to build a larger room with a much bigger stage. Although the bigger stage was used the majority of the time, the small stage remained for more quiter and intimate shows.

Mohawk place continues to adhere to its blues roots by hosting Friday happy hours with various local blues bands. We also have certain traditions throughout the year, including the Joe Strummer Tribute Night in December and the Syd Barrett Tribute Show in January. Mohawk Place is an artist friendly venue. We try our best to take care of everyone who performs here. Everyone who works here is a true fan of music and almost all of them are artists themselves.
