The good: the musicians. Keep up the great work everyone!
The bad: For a cocktail lounge, they sure don’t know how to make good cocktails. No espresso martinis at a cocktails bar? Crazier things have happened in this world, but idk just seemed strange to me. Ordered an old fashioned instead and it was the most poorly made rendition of that drink I’ve ever had. Bartender wasn’t very friendly, but not necessarily rude. I did have three different rude interactions with other customers all within an hour. Not necessarily the bar’s fault, but birds of a feather flock together. Plenty of rude staff reviews by other people here to justify that stance. Weird vibe. Not going back.

Historical club (Al Capone) that has music & drinks, no drink minimum (price below includes drinks). Great place to experience - like you're stepping back in time. No food to buy but they let you bring it in. Small place, can be very crowded so get there at least 1.5 hrs early.

Beautiful place, there is a woman working here like organizing things. Incredibly mean. I hate it, disgusting. Paid $20 to listen good music, staff acted weird, packed as hell. No, thank you.

Walked in and was treated like absolute crap. Bartender made me feel very ostracized. Sadly, not just one thumbs down suffices. The service gets a full, two thumbs down. Atmosphere was super freaking cool though. Mr Capone would be very upset.....

I went to Green Mill a few months ago and had such a terrible experience. I still think about it. The bartender was so incredibly rude not only did he swear at me for the tip someone who bought my drink left I saw him do it to three other customers right in front of the owner. Going so far as to charge someone $15 for a PBR stating the price was because of his friend’s $2 tip on a single drink(after paying $20 to get in) This business does not care about its patrons. Is overcrowded and overhyped. I was most excited for the music and not being berated by some wanna be cool guy. Even so the show was not well done. The space is crowded and doesn’t sound great. The act booked that evening was slow and almost passionless. Also you cannot speak during the music so if you’re planning to chat over drinks with jazz in the background you will be yelled at and the space is meant as more of a focused concert space??

Jazz band was great. Bartender was horrible. My friend ordered an $11 drink. Left a $5 bill tip. Bartender came by a few minutes later and complained to him that the he didn’t give a tip. They argued until the bartender finally admitted that he got the tip but didn’t know it was from him. There are plenty of jazz clubs with better bartenders. Rude. Stay away.
Really bad experience first we got there literally as the band was starting, was charged 20 to get in . Two minutes later more people came in and was charged 10 at the door . The waiter was very rude , no friendliness of any kind . This was my first time at this establishment. Will definitely be looking for another live jazz establishment. I was surprising my guy since he likes Jazz . So sad this was the experience he got .

i feel so bad to write this review, as we were so ecstatic to visit for the first time for a show… we wish there was at least 1 thing that made up for it. but sadly, we were met with nothing but rude service, pretentious attitudes, comments, and mannerisms from the staff members at the door and at the bar.
after smiling and laughing through the rudeness & giving this place some grace, our last straw was the bartender pouring a terrible $9 pint of G full of foam and putting our cash change particularly on a wet puddle on the bar counter after we had extended a polite hand for it.
we didn’t mind the super crowded atmosphere full of people and nowhere to sit since we are used to it at other establishments, we were just so unfortunately soured by the unwelcoming staff.
it felt like an exclusive club, i guess this place might as well be advertised that way. we had so much more fun elsewhere that same evening. please don’t hesitate to waste your time unless experiences like these are your cup of tea.

Best place to listen to Jazz music. We want to welcome a new year with a good dose of music. This is the place for all lovers of Jazz. Relax and enjoy the rhythms.

This was soo nice, the music was relaxing. It's one of those places where you would snap your fingersto the beat. ✌ The sax player was on point as well as the drummer. Heck everyone was great. The songs were old school and peaceful and tthe staff was great, I went with my daughters and the experience was beautiful, we smiled all night long. Just know to be there early because we got the last 2 seats at 8:30 PM. Then it was stranding room only, It's a $10.00 entry fee and an all cash bar so NO credit card payments. Quiet during sets is expected and they played 3 with a break between each one in case you find Mr or Mrs right. 😂
