Saturday afternoon at Jack of the Wood hits different when there's live music going. Four o'clock start means you can catch a show and still have your whole evening, plus the wood-paneled room always feels right for a string band. Jack of the Wood keeps its Sunday Irish sessions acoustic the old way, no mics, no amps, just the circle and the tune. The downtown pub has hosted traditional players since 1997, and between the cask tap and proper whiskey selection, it's built for settling in through multiple sets.
