| - I went to Chez Nous one evening with friends after dining across the street at the Paisley Violin. It's current location is relative new. They were previously located at the corner of 7th Ave and Indian School, but were forced to move last year to make way for a Fresh and Easy. Although I never visited the original location, those that have say the new location is virtually identical in decor to the original.
The bar itself is quite small and intimate. Booths line one wall, bar tables populate the middle, and the bar itself runs nearly the length of the other wall. Live music is apparently a regular event at Chez Nous. The night I went, a jazz/soul band was performing. I like live music, but often times the performers are not that great, especially in a smaller venue. This group was actually quite good, and their music made the evening all that more enjoyable. Although there is no formal dance floor, people danced in the available space.
The drinks are reasonably priced, and the bartenders friendly. Although I walked there, the parking lot appeared large enough to accommodate a good sized crowd. Support your community/neighborhood bars!
