    Great dive bar with Music 7 nights a week, Esther the bartender makes you feel like you are part if the family and the owner Sam always has chicken and beans and rice on the house if you need to eat.

    Pay a visit to a charming neighborhood dive bar with great Jazz music, a friendly crowd and rarely a cover charge. Yes it’s a bit rundown, but that’s park of its allure.

    Fit for stumbling upon with its charming shack-like façade, equipped with fairy lights, a brown picket fence, a bulletin board of sorts and a cozy outdoor seating area. Live music seven days a week.

    A street-facing picket fence and unmissable blue awning hint at the homey digs therein: a well-aged dartboard and jukebox have helped to establish it as a Harlem bar standard.

    Came in during the day and the vibe was super mellow. Good place to collect one's thoughts during a hectic day in Harlem.

    Paris Blues is a nice place to listem a good jazz. If you meet a black old Mr. called Mansur, spend some time talk to him.

     This run down hole in a wall has some good music giving it an upgrade from a dive. (Some wish the drink prices would dive). Food may be served from aluminum trays at a cost. It is a music destination

    The music was great. But don't bother drinking anything more sophisticated than wine or beer.

    Credit Card payments does not work, we were charged for an extra glass of wine that we did not order, there is no food you can order.The music is great! The only reason I might return.
