Evening/early night Jazz?

leahyl

Anybody have any sugggestions as to where to go to get some evening/early night jazz with a good vibe and a 30's crowd?!

Every year I have great intentions to go into town but then it ends up being absolutely crazy busy by the time I get in - usually around 9. Was thinking maybe it might be less crazy early on?

Thanks guys, so looks like we are going to see Hynotic Brass Ensemble in Cyprus Avenue on Saturday evening - sounds good

Will probably head in Sunday afternoon/evening too for a bit and just see what's going on around, so will take all your suggestions into account

Thanks a mill!

Hypnotics are absolutely class.

Sunday afternoon is Metropole time.

You won't regret going to the Old Oak on Sunday at 6pm to see Blues Brothers Banned. Saw them last year, very good.

I'd rather go on a weekend break in Baghdad than entering Reardons. Have to laugh at places like this and Deep South with forced queuing, fooling people who think if there's a queue it has to be good.

Was lucky last year with some friends in getting seating in the Bodega but had a ball there, music was brilliant. Hot 8 Brass band should also be seen wherever they are*

*Assuming they're over this year.

Alas you assume wrong

McCurtain St is a good call though. Plenty going on there during the day.

Never go to Reardens as a rule of thumb.

We've always gone for Day jazz and found MacCurtain Street good, pop to the Metropole, Sin é, then in towards the opera house and on to the Bodega.

Thanks, sounds good, still actually need to have people to go with though :pac: Hopefully a few friends will be willing. I love the idea of finding a spot with seating and just sitting there for a while if it has a good vibe

I would maybe bop around for a lunchtime type buzz, for minimal shoving and crowing you would want somewhere with seating like a cafe/ restaurant. I do remember years back being in Perry St Market and the bodega during the day and they had bands going which was really pleasant. Not saying that is top jazz or anything but possibly more the atmosphere you want

I attempted to get into Reardens on the Sunday last year and started queueing at about 7pm, managed to get in the door shortly after 9:30pm. Tried and failed several times to get a drink. Got knocked to the ground by someone attempting to breakdance and promptly left :pac:
Never again!!

I would say go in even earlier than 7 if you can and don't make the mistake of going to Reardens. I've heard good things about Barbarossa having some good bands, so maybe give there a try?

Oh jesus, I wouldn't dream of going to Reardens, I think I went there on a night out once....and that was about 15 years ago

Yeah, about 2 years ago I headed in on the Sunday and went in and out the door of a few places....went to 76 on the Mall in the imperial and it was literally body to body...could not get to the bar for love nor money....but at the same time I want to get out there and do something...
