The Scene

The wooden bar, tables, chairs and lingering scent of cigarette smoke of Arthur's Tavern predate the Beats; walk in and you're immediately transported to a bygone era. The rectangular bar bordering the tiny back stage puts music lovers and the night's live entertainment side-by-side. Distinguished couples share space at the main bar with an eclectic array of music lovers, all hungry for the bar's stiff drinks and soothing tunes.

The Draw

Strains of old-school blues, jazz, and R&B fill the cozy seating area and offer a chance to catch unknown legends like Johnny "Tasty" Parker and his cohort "Sweet" Georgia Brown. The bartenders know how to treat their job like an art, and though fancy martinis aren't on the menu, they'll gladly make one if you ask.
