| - A jazz and whiskey bar some ways off from the more bustling stretch of College Ave, named after a fictional jazz guitarist from an old Woody Allen flick. Has the feel of a local hangout, couches up front, the bar area in the middle, and tables in the back, with live jazz most nights. Lively crowd on the late Saturday evening we went, and between that and the live music, it will be hard to hear your company, but we lucked out on the couches all the way up front by the windows, the quietest section. Friendly staff.
Plenty of whiskey on their menu, although beer was what I was interested in having. Several local beers on tap, and a good selection of import and Canadian craft beers, stored in a controlled temperature unit by the bar. Not too bad price wise, with most beers $5.75, and the more expensive hovering around $7 - 8 for the most part. Or better yet, their happy hour price of $4.50 a pint from their draft section up until 9 pm, but we were there after that hour. Instead, tried the Unibroue Fin du monde here, an excellent ale.
Definitely warmed up to the place as the night went on, and found it to be a laid-back bar without much of a scene, and can't argue with the solid beer selection. Cash only.
