What Scott Spencer likes about Chris' Jazz Cafe:
I attended a performance by John Swana's Quartet featuring Mark Allen on July 8, 2016, at Chris's for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed the music; John Swana is an exceptional valve trombonist with impressive lyrical, harmonic talent, and energy. My wife and I are vegetarians, so we found the food somewhat disappointing, but our friends who eat meat were satisfied with their meals. Overall, the atmosphere was warm... View all feedback. What Jace Gibson doesn't like about Chris' Jazz Cafe:
I used to live the spot. This time it’s a bit different. You need to pay to get in. The god thing is that it could be as low as 5$. The drinks were not so great either for the price. But the jazz music is always amazing here. I prefer the music here than over time. If you are in jazz then def worth checking View all feedback.
