This wood-tabled, no-frills neighborhood club claims to have “the best in live music,” and it just might. It swings every Tuesday through Sunday night with both local and bigger-name bands. Take in the music downstairs, and during the set breaks pop upstairs and make some moves of your own on the dance floor, where Latin, swing, tango, and everything else goes. The highlight of the week, many would argue, is the Sunday jazz brunch that lasts almost all day. The music is great and the food—including outrageous omelets accompanied by fresh strawberry mimosas or a spicy and snappy bloody mary—can’t be beat. Note: On Sundays the brunch ends at 3 p.m.; the club reopens for the evening at 7.
