Super secret cocktail bar in an old house. There is NO SIGN so you may think you are walking into someone's house. It is in the house directly next door to Shuck Shack. Don't be afraid to push open the door. Not pretenious besides having no menu. If you're going to the Pearl, stop in for a drink before or after.

You won't believe the quality of the musicians in this underground Jazz club. I say "underground" not becuase it is secret, rather that it is in the basement below the food hall in the Pearl. There are two shows a night and YOU MUST MAKE A RESERVATION.
