I’ve seen several artists at the Side Door Jazz Lounge, and it is by far one of the best clubs that you could visit certainly in Connecticut and most definitely on the East Coast. The sound inside the club is incredible. It is a very intimate setting and an experience that you’ll never forget. It is incredibly well run and the service food and atmosphere are second to none. Highly recommend.

One of the best jazz venues around. Half way between NY and Boston. They get the best musicians and performers in the North East. Small and intimate. Not a bad seat in the house.

Positive, great musicians and shows. Great acoustics and control of crowd numbers provide perfect atmosphere for a smaller venue.

A destination club hidden in coastal Connecticut as good as the great venues in NYC and more intimate. We opted for dinner earlier so can't comment on the food this visit but the cocktails & spirits did not disappoint! So convenient and on-site free parking - keep an eye on the artists performing there. A phenomenal opportunity to see performers up-close with great acoustics! And if you happened to travel a ways, the Old Lyme Inn upstairs may be just the next best stop.
