Great jazz, great drinks, no cover

by pithecanthropus

We're from out of town, and we were staying about 2 blocks further down Haight at the Red Vic. We stopped in merely to have a last drink before going to the hotel, and considered as just a bar the place was very satisfactory. The drinks, the atmosphere, the staff, and the other customers were all very pleasant and congenial.

Then the band came on, and we had to stay to listen. It seemed like their first set was just OK, nothing fantastic. But they got better and better as the evening progressed. A highlight was when the trumpet player put a mute in his horn and started doing Miles. Awesome!

Bar only accepts cash, but there are ATMs nearby. Public transport or taxi highly recommended.

Great place to arrive early and snag a seat, then stay for the show.

• Pros: No cover, Drinks, Ambience
• Cons: Parking, Cash only

Somethings don't change

I havent been to Deluxe in many years, but decided to swing by last Sunday. I am thrilled to report it was the same great bar it always was. Bartenders are friendly and personable, and the music was just plain great. If you havent been before definitely check it out, and if youve been away for too long, definitely go back now.

• Pros: great music, good drinks, friendly

But now that its out of the bag, the atmosphere is very Rat Pack the drrinks are delicious, the crowd eclectic, and the bartenders, well they are some of the best ever to come down the pike.

• Pros: good drinks, price is right, atmosphere
• Cons: parking, parking, parking
