Jazz Kitchen

This is the place for hot jazz in a cool atmosphere. And the Jazz Kitchen name lets you know the food is surprisingly good, too – sort of New Orleans meets Midwest. Try Satchmo's Etoufee or Crescent City Crab Cakes. Named on Downbeat Magazine's list of "The World's Top 100 Jazz Clubs," Jazz Kitchen showcases local, regional and international jazz acts. Jazz Kitchen also hosts the long running and popular Thursday night Latin Dance Party. The Jazz Kitchen is smoke free. There is a $15 minimum for food and/or drinks on Friday and Saturday nights. But you won't mind paying for this food. Check out the menu and music schedule. Since music is the main reason folks come to the Jazz Kitchen, talking is kept to a minimum so listeners don't miss a beat. If you want a rowdy party night, don't come here when musicians take the stage.
