Some patrons may view it as purely a performance venue (not also a restaurant and bar), which unfortunately resulted in an unpleasant experience during my visit. My friend and I, engaged in a normal conversation while seated at the bar some distance from the stage, seem to have irritated a fellow customer enough to cause her to leave her seat and rudely slam down a ‘low conversations please’ sign probably taken from her table in the performance seating area onto the bar between us. We found this surprising and rather aggressive (as did our bartender). I think if the club had been more full, there would have been a quiet hum of conversation around the bar and in the dining area away from the stage and thus our talking would not have been as distinguishable. So I hope the club draws bigger crowds as time goes on and that everybody can be comfortable with their chosen experience. Until then, if you want to go with friends and you might want to chat with them, you probably should sit farther away from the stage you’ll still be able to hear the music and see the performers on the big screen monitors around the club. I’d really like for this place to succeed, and I hope they will continue to book good artists and groups Baltimore needs a good jazz club like this!
