Even walking in, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The entrance is small, and you're greeted right away, which was a nice touch. Once inside, it's very dark with deep red lighting--almost like stepping into a cave. It took a moment for our eyes to adjust, but once they did, we immediately felt at ease. The space is cozy and perfectly aligned with its purpose: it's all about the jazz. The service was great--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without taking away from the music. And the music? Absolutely captivating. It pulls you in and transports you--you can't help but settle into the vibe and just enjoy the moment together. We went on a Monday, so there was plenty of seating, but I noticed there's also a lower level that likely accommodates larger weekend crowds. There's a solid drink menu and a small selection of food, but honestly, this isn't the place you come for a full meal. Come for the drinks, stay for the music, and soak in the atmosphere.

Then I tried the tiramisu but it was too sweet. I then went to the Pomodoro - ingenious!!! The red on the glass was so creative. Also delicious. We saw little colorful drinks being ordered by others and inquired about it. They were equally creative shots. I got the Titan and tried the Collisto. Both very good. Highly recommend!

Every poet that graced the mic was passionate, imaginative, had originality, emotional depth and imagery. The garage door was open so it allowed a nice flow of circulation.

Sections of with plush leather couches, chairs and tables for singles and groups creating a setup for intimate groupings and conversation. The ceiling, the portraits, cigar-related imagery all around accent the leather seating. There's access to lighters, cutters and plenty of ashtrays. They also sell cigars. There's different levels of membership, some of which you get your own locker. I joined a table with two nice women who shared with me their cigar favorites and cuts, along with sharing lounge secrets. It was very relaxing and the drink- mezcal martini I ordered was delicious. I brought my own cigars so I was able to enjoy my favorites!

We looked around for a minute before a server noticed us and was like "uhhh we'll put you here at the end of the bar." Our bartender was fine but the other guy was doing all this flare and nonsense to get everyone's attention. He was the loudest person at the bar and inserted himself in our conversation twice. He clearly wanted attention which we found annoying and distracting. The drinks were good and the vibe was generally good. A nice eclectic mix of people. The DJ was great too! The service staff seemed very rough in both their interactions and their appearance. I hadn't been here in years, but I remember it being a far more refined and polished experience than what he had last night. Lastly, I don't think our $50 deposit was applied to our check. I forgot about it until this morning and didn't bring the receipt home. We each only had one drink and my total charge was $52. Not the end of the world but just another point in how they don't appear to be as on top of their service as I've previously experienced.
