Line 6:
In the early-mid 1980s, there was a popular [[folk music]] scene, especially in northern [[New York]] state, known as "the North Country". At SLU, group of students, interested in having live music at the school, established a coffeehouse in Payson Hall, one of the school's buildings. A theme house was set up at 3 University Avenue, and it was established. On Friday and Saturday nights there would be coffeehouses, and the students, already living together in the theme house, would walk over to Payson to set up and break down the shows.

In 1992, Payson Hall was renovated into SLU's admissions building. A new venue had to be established, and the new venue was an old barn located behind 5 University Avenue, one house up from where the current students were living. The house became the Coffee House, and the barn was known as the Java Barn. Operating between Fall 1993 to Spring 2006, the Barn's ___location was popular due to its proximity of being on the border of the SLU campus, near the town center. This brought about some interaction with the community, and students enjoyed the distance from the main campus and their studies.
