We walked in hoping to catch some live music, but before we even settled in to decide whether the $12 cover was worth it and which drink to get, the owner’s abrupt and dismissive attitude made the decision easy. His approach and comments about not providing a public service created an unfriendly atmosphere right away. When I asked about sugar‑free drink options due to high blood‑glucose levels, letting the owner know I was diabetic, the response was just as dismissive. A simple question became an uncomfortable interaction. As people who work in the live entertainment industry, it did not feel like a place that values its patrons or its artists; the owner seemed more interested in using music and art to charge, rather than as an experience to enhance. Though the musicians were good with some exceptional talent, we chose to leave

Great little bar. Unique upstairs where you look right down over the musicians, reasonable acoustics and you get an unparalleled view of them playing.

A beautiful gem just steps away from St Jean with live jazz jam sessions every night! It’s an old building so be aware of needing to go up a winding stairway for the bathrooms and get there right at 8pm (for 9pm show) to get a good seat. It was warm, cosy, great staff, great vibes and a perfect place for a night cap (I mean for cocktails and beer, not much in the way of wine - so for a heads up!) a beautiful building steeped in history and feeling authentically local, given its location!

Hot, sweaty, cramped but great service and lots of jazz.
Went for the live jazz, stayed for the live jazz!!! Sneaky incognito hidden gem, warm and inviting with great vibes and a beautiful bartender - go early on weekend eves to get a seat downstairs. Highly recommended, I will definitely return.

Came here on a Saturday night to enjoy some drinks and jazz with my partner and we had a fantastic time. The musicians were really talented and it was cool that everyone at the bar was focused on listening to and enjoying the music. It’s a real cozy and intimate spot- definitely a tight squeeze, so I recommend getting there before the band sets up (that was around 11 when we were there)

De succulent cocktails, accompagnés de musiciens jazz chevronnés, un parfait mélange pour passer une soirée d’anthologie ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
