I suppose you could eat there. After all It is a pub. But why bother, let's drink. I have never eaten there but I hear it is good food.
The Liffey is a traditional Irish Pub, lots of great people having a great time.
It's walkable from the Crowne.

Wow.. that was fun, looking up and listening to 10 bands on mySpace.
The Artists' Quarter is, in my opinion, the premier jazz club in the twin cities. For the most part I have only gone there to watch "Standard Jazz" like Joe Pass and Herb Ellis but they have some Fusion and other forms of Jazz as well.
The best part is, the Artists' Quarter is just around the corner from the Crowne Plaza. Here is the now obligatory google page link Artists' Quarter
