If you are looking for the quintessential, dimly lit, velvet-toned magic of an authentic jazz club, you have to step off Sansom Street and into Chris' Jazz Cafe.As Philadelphia’s longest continuously operating jazz club, this Center City institution is the undisputed heartbeat of the city's legendary jazz scene. The room is moody, deeply intimate, and perfectly designed so that every table feels intensely connected to the stage. Whether they are hosting a fiery local quartet, students from Philly’s world-renowned music conservatories, or a touring Grammy-winning headliner, the caliber of musicianship here is consistently jaw-dropping. It is exactly the kind of timeless, unpretentious room where you can sip a classic martini, lean back in your chair, and get completely lost in the improvisation.Local Tip: Do not skip the food! Unlike a lot of music venues where the menu is an afterthought, Chris' boasts a phenomenal kitchen serving up incredible Southern-inspired soul food. Book a table for dinner and a show so you can dig into plates of shrimp and grits or jambalaya while the band warms up right in front of you.
