NVM Review

(June/July 2008)

By Warren Rojas

If necessity is the mother of invention, consider DBGB’s its punk-rock lovechild.

The culturally askew establishment was borne out of the efforts of entertainment-starved owners John Scarlett, Shane Lloyd and Chris Mason, who came together to bring their hard-charging musical haven to sleepy downtown Winchester.

Heavily tattooed staff keeps flinging drinks well after most townsfolk have retired for the evening, while a who’s who of hardcore bands parades through most weekend nights.

Beers range from domestic standbys (Pabst Blue Ribbon, anyone?) to seasonal craft brews (Widmer Hefeweizen), while eats focus on bar snacks and all-out Americana (a hefty patty melt bleeds juices all over the warm, buttered Texas toast and arrives topped with a thicket of caramelized onions).
