We made our first visit in Feb'24 to see the Jim Ketch Swingtet. The exterior looked like a mechanic's shop in an industrial park. Don't be fooled! The inside is a nicely appointed jazz club with a good size stage and excellent sound system, chairs in rows facing the stage with cute cafe tables between each, and a nice bar with local beer, wine, and limited snacks in stock. The music was great as was the service. We will be back, often.

Came for our anniversary and what a great spot to enjoy music! Drinks and snacks offered at the bar, and the staff was very sweet and accommodating. The music was just fantastic. Can’t wait to come back for another show at this amazing venue 😁

Amazing jazz in an studio like setting. Small place with only beer and wine and a few snacks but tables and seats to listen to the performance. Top talent!
