7. The Artists' Quarter

Best live music in St Paul -real jazz 6 nights a week
This dark, basement jazz club has a perfect relaxed vibe. A great place to hear the best jazz in town. Cover is free for 7pm, shows $5 for 9pm shows (Tue-Thrus) and usually $10 Friday and Saturday. Drink prices are low, but they don't serve food. You can order take-out from the place upstairs.
