Relax on a second-floor patio overlooking the historic Saenger Theater, a cozy wooden patio enclosed with greenery, or under a live oak garnered in twinkle lights, to enjoy the sounds of local Hattiesburg artists.

Downtown Hattiesburg offers comfortable, unique venues in which to meet, socialize, eat, drink, and be merry - all within walking distance of each other. In one night, you can experience a multitude of atmospheres, music styles, and cuisine.

206 Front, Hattiesburg’s finest nouveau cuisine restaurant, hosts local musicians each week for “Tuesdays at 206.” Beginning at 9 p.m., guests hear Southern sounds begin to waft through the air. From solo classical guitar to jazz combos, this is a great choice for early week entertainment in downtown.

Walnut Circle Grill jams on their multi-level wooden patio almost every weekend, weather permitting. Your Friday and Saturday nights can be filled with the sounds of locally well-known ensembles such as Triple Lindy and T-Bone Pruitt.

Finally, the Thirsty Hippo is a small venue that will lure you back time after time, with not only their fresh taste in musical guests like Buffalo Nickel and Mama Spell, but also their outdoor patio atmosphere under a sky of live oak trees and twinkle lights.

The music is always cool, so while there’s a Southern breeze blowing, come enjoy the nightlife, food, and drink that make downtown Hattiesburg, the life of the party.
