Paris Blues Jazz Club

You have to respect a bar that unapologetically calls itself a "dive." Although there often isn't a cover at Paris Blues and it embraces the dive bar label, it is dedicated to world class music at a fair price. The decor is reminiscent of New Orleans with masks and a confident use of color. Expect live acts every night of the week. Open since 1969, it has a raw atmosphere that is all about the music, which often plays from 9pm to 1am. Some audience members bring instruments for an impromptu jazz session. Less musically gifted patrons cut a rug on the small dance floor.
