But since that time, The General Lafayette has brought a little entertainment to the table in the form of musicians performing on weekends and most nights during the week.  It's a very eclectic mix of music, from blues to hippie to country-rock to new age acoustic music from some of the best local talent around. It's always pot-luck when you walk in the door: you never really know what sort of act will be performing, unless you call ahead or get one of their flyers.  Most of the live acts perform original music, and they always seem to be the perfect accompaniment to a pint of one of their home brews. The only difficulty with the live music is that there really isn't 

Typically the Lafayette keeps 8 different types of beers on tap ranging from ales, to bitters, to lagers, to stouts (the dark stuff that looks like you could float a quarter on the head) and even an occasional fruit based beer.

If you look at the picture of the General Lafayette below, the other side of the corner shown here hides the game room area that contains 2 pool tables and a dart board. Even-though the pool tables are the standard coin-op 6 foot long tables, the Lafayette remains one of the rare places in the 'burbs where you can throw a game of "cricket " or "501 Double- In, Double- Out" (ie games in darts for those of you who are considered "cork-challenged"). 

All in all the General Lafayette is a great place to experience some decent brews, good music and  good times whenever you're in the Lafayette Hills area, and even when you're not in the neighborhood.
