Historic Treasure
Our Take
Despite the rad gangster history here, this is first and foremost a jazz bar. Don't let that, or a potential cover charge for the live music, stop you from visiting, though. The experience of being in a crowded, gorgeously ornate historic bar with a crowd of people of all ages, all fixated on the incredible music and charismatic performers, was so incredibly special. I watched a millennial shush other patrons to hear the music better! If there's no seating, just wait for something to open up; it'll happen sooner than you think, just be polite. And even though the drinks are no-frills, they're tasty... although I went with a beer, an Eliot Ness, for Al Capone reasons.
