Friday night at Hotel Eve Jazz, doors at 8. The room's got that low-lit, intimate thing going where you can actually settle in and listen without fighting a crowd. Good way to kick off the weekend without committing to a late one. This basement spot was designed for actual listening rather than background noise, so people keep conversation low and pay attention to what's happening on stage. The room itself does the work, good sound in a small space where you're there to hear the music, not talk over it.
