    Tried the Dark & Stormy, very good cocktail ! Our waiter then suggested a variation of it called New Orleans buck, it was delicious. The jazz band is very good too. I will definitely go back!

    Tucked away in a nondescript building, this lounge features live jazz, dim lighting and classic cocktails such as a gin martini and a rye ginger fizz. Light bites available, too.

    We love the jazzy atmosphere here, almost as much as we love sipping on theBlue Collar – a mix of rye, amaro, and sweet vermouth.

    Live jazz every night, a full kitchen, and some of the friendliest waiters I've met. This place is a gem that serves nothing but quality drinks, without pretension.

    My new favorite bar. Free live jazz at night on the weekend. Try the Hot Toddy as a winter warmer, one of the best I've had.

    Exactly what I think of a manhattan jazz club. Amazing drinks and music. The sazerac was worth a try. But watch out for SLOW service. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    If you fancy "desert in a glass" go for a Golden Cadillac (or do what we did and ask for dessert in a glass bartender's choice)

    Go with a "bartenders choice" for a cocktail. Tell them what choice of alcohol you want. You won't be sorry. Great service.

    Come earlier than later, and order the Gordon's Cup. Recommendation made by Mr.Johnson, and highly affirmed.

    Why such spotty cell service? Pick your explanation: a) you're in a basement, b) you walked into the 1920s. I prefer B.
