  • Go early to get one of the few seats, there are a couple places to stand. Capacity is about 50 people. Do NOT video record or take pictures, or they stop playing. Do NOT ask them to play "When the Saints Come Marching In". No food or drink permitted, no smoking permitted (yay!), no pets, and no noisy people. They don't serve anything inside (not even water), but great jazz music (and CDs and T-shirts). With all that said...Absolutely worth the $5 and the hour wait to get in!
