Eve Elliot and John Reed-Torres perform ragtime piano at 1642 for this recurring weekly celebration of early American rag music.
There’s a worn upright piano by the door, wax pooling in wine bottles on every table, and a bartender who’ll pour you a Spanish red while naming five albums that pair with it. The crowd is a quiet mix of off-duty musicians, candle hoarders, and people sketching each other in notebooks. Jazz floats in a few nights a week. Unamplified, unbothered, and sometimes better than it should be.
Unique coconut porter. Menu mainstay since 2010
Belgian-style farmhouse ale. Carbonated, refreshing, complex. $6 draft, get 2 for $12
