Love this hidden gem ! Great place to go on a Sunday night w/friends(or special someone)to hear live music . Cheap drinks , friendly , crowded , but it's loud ; not great if you want a conversation.

Very cool, mellow vibe! Perfect for a chill night, live music ... It's a jazz club , what more is there to say?! You just have to try it yourself.

One of Boston's best hidden gems , and one of the city 's few true nightlife melting pots. Unpretentious, fun, and friendly . Oh, and great music .

This storied establishment is cramped, loud , and lively ! Grab a cocktail and enjoy the energetic live jazz !

This jazz dive opened in 1934 and keeps that old school vibe alive and well . Try the Hammer. Brandy , amaretto , orange , cranberry and pineapple juice , topped with a cherry and fruit slice.

Some of the best musicians in the city play here. It gets really HOT for the late night jam sessions ... If you're a player and wanna try your luck, go here

The heart of jazz lives in here. Sometimes there's a mandatory drink policy but it seems it only applies to non-regulars.

Place was apparently closed (despite a sign saying it was open) aside from one guy at the bar , who ran to the door and yelled at me for attempting to walk in. I’ll find jazz elsewhere, angry guy. 👎🏻
