Scratch

The Friday before Christmas, which in most towns is when everyone finally turns up in the same room again.

Scratch take the night at Notch8 Bar & Grill. They play here more than any other act on the calendar, and this is one of their December dates.

Make a night of it. Wood-fired pizza, burgers, wings and smoked barbecue until 10 on Fridays, pizza until 11, and 24 beers on draft plus craft cocktails, wine, seltzers and ciders.

Good to know. Music 9 to 11:30 p.m. at 1 Front Street in Bethel. No cover charge is published.
