Dinner and cocktails arrive right at your booth while touring acts and local jazz talent take the stage.

- Supper Club Seating: Full dinner service and cocktails delivered directly to your reserved table throughout the sets.

Before you head over
Essential advice on seating tiers, billing surcharges, and table service—book your table early for a seamless evening of live jazz.
Choose Seating for Clear Sightlines
Back tables and partial-view spots can suffer from patrons standing in aisles to dance. Opt for front or A/B Reserve booths to secure clear, unobstructed sightlines to the stage.
Account for Table Surcharges
Bills include a 10% employee surcharge alongside payment processing fees on top of ticket and menu prices. Factor these into your overall evening budget to avoid checkout surprises.
Commit to the Full Dinner and Show
Everything from craft cocktails to multi-course dinners is served directly to your table during the sets. Treat the night as a complete supper club outing rather than popping in for drinks alone.
