CityJazz

Frommer's Review

The cover charge at this club includes the Downbeat Jazz Hall of Fame (with memorabilia from Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and other greats) as well as the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, a performance venue that's also the site of jazz workshops. The two-story, 10,500-square-foot building houses more than 500 pieces of memorabilia, representing Dixieland, swing, bebop, and modern jazz. It also has a state-of-the-art sound system and stage. Graphic murals and oversize black-and-white photographs set the mood. Acts of national renown perform frequently. It's a real treat for true jazz fans, who can sip cocktails while browsing. On the food side of the equation, expect tapas, sushi, escargot, and such. Thursday through Saturday nights the theme gives way to comedy as BONKERZ Comedy Club invites you in for a good laugh with nationally recognized comics. Open Sunday through Thursday 8pm to 1am, Friday and Saturday from 7pm to 2am.
