Dieser ehrwürdige Klub, gegründet 1947, war der erste Nachtklub afro-amerikanischer Besitzer in Neu-England. Er bietet vor allem jungen Jazz-Musikern eine Plattform und nicht selten treten Publikums-Mitglieder oder bekannte Besucher hier auf die Bühne um mitzumachen. Ein Großteil des engen Raums ist mit der Bar ausgefüllt, und an Wochenenden ist dies ein einziger Stehplatz. Das Publikum ist eine bunte Mischung verschiedenrassiger Musiker, lokaler Bevökerung und Unkonventioneller allen Alters. Die live-Musik ist jeden Abend gratis, und Sonntag-Nachmittags findet der Jazz-Brunch statt. Kreditkarten werden nicht akzeptiert.
