Is this place any good? Sounds kinda like the Slip Inn, but for jazz..

littlz · 11-05-09, 02:53 PM

it's a fun little dive. just down the street from my crib. when my parents visit, we end up walking over there and getting tanked.

Sinner · 11-05-09, 02:54 PM

i just hurd it's closing. ???

Went a couple of wks ago. Always fun.

live jazz
dimly lit & crowded
the waitresses are typically rude (but that's part of the charm)
the drinks are strong (& there used to be an unopened bottle of thunderbird over the espresso machine in case the ghost of jack kerouac came in for a drink)

great place to take a date (or out of towner) for boozing & good conversation. booths are cozy

downstairs is the arcade bar, better lighting, nicer staff, jukebox, & less fun attitude. i stick to the upstairs personally.

one of my favorite places in dallas is the balcony club <3

played there for years on and off. Great atmosphere and great music (usually). They are def. having a hard time keeping the door open. I haven't heard exact reason, but you should def. go there and support them, this place should not close.......Dallas needs all the independent jazz venues it can get (maybe 3 total).

Sinner · 11-05-09, 03:34 PM

the jazz seen is dying!

And if you get your friend drunk enough and tip the band $50..... they will let him sing My Funny Valentine and get him through it.

Haven't been in years! I used to go when Big Al Dupree was still alive and playing there with his trio. Man they were daddies of jazz.

I second everything Suza said. And from what I recall, they had the most amazing bloody mary's.

This thread has inspired me to go again and show support!

I hang out there on occasion. Nice spot. Be wary of the stairs if you drink too much though. lol

I haven't been in many years but it was a pretty cool place (of course this was like 7-8 years ago) hopefully its still the same.
