We came here for dessert and the show. This place has a great vibe. The band had 13 people on stage and put on a good show, although we don't know how they all fit on stage. I'll definitely be back.

$25 cover (unsure if this price changes per booking) for Amazing Band (sound needs a bit of work) but a great band knows how to work with what they got and bring the house down. I wish the tables faced the stage because how it is is killing my neck. Although drinks are on the sweeter side with a bit of food it helps to alter the taste buds (or wait for the ice to melt a bit. It always helps.) The small bites leave a bit to be desired but they do the trick if you've eaten a meal elsewhere and are just hankering for a small bite. Overall a great spot for an intimate or party night out (depends on the band really). Spots 100% worth a trek from all the way yonder.

Had an absolute blast here on a Friday Night after Dinner. Ambiance is cozy and romantic. The staff was very efficient and attentive. We're from Houston so I loved the multicultural atmosphere. The Band was amazing and you could tell they love what they do. I would absolutely recommend this spot for any music lovers...it gets packed after 11, so get there early if you want a good seat.

A nice way to enjoy jazz that doesn’t break the bank. The musicians were wonderful and the servers/bartenders were attentive. We ordered drinks - off menu - and they were good. The food was decent - typical to what you’d expect from a jazz bar. Tickets were affordable and once they turned the lights down, the ambience was nice.There are some things that seem to be a work in progress (the sound guy and the singers didn’t seem to be on the same page and the lighting at the bar could use some work). But once the show got going, it was a really enjoyable time. We’ll definitely be returning as it’s a neighborhood establishment worth the patronage. Good for dates and groups.

Very sad to see that Minton’s has closed. Really hope someone revives it. Unfortunately there’s no information anywhere about what’s going on. It should be a national landmark!
