    About
    Named by the DownBeat as one of the worlds top Jazz Venues. Intimate music and low lighting set the mood for this one-of-a-kind spot where live music is being impovised by the very best Jazz musicians. DownBeat International - 2014.

    Pleasant Surprise

    The club recently moved to a new part of Palermo. The new space is lovely, with the exception of the bathrooms that are weirdly already trashed. Like door handles ripped off the stalls. Service was a little slow and they forgot our bottle of wine....More

    An argentinian jazz temple

    It is not a very big place with little tables and a short menu. However you can listen to some of the best jazz groups in argentina. Also sometimes they bring foreign musicians. Worth to visit
