Downbeat has been serving drinks to jazz lovers for more than 40 years, and it is still as popular as ever. The owner's record collection, which totals over 3,000 LPs, provides most of the music, but once a month there is a live session. The lounge-style seats and low tables provide a very relaxed atmosphere to enjoy your drinks--and the music. Make sure you eat before you drop into Downbeat; the place serves only very light snacks, such as mixed nuts and cheese. There is, however, a very comprehensive drink menu. Bourbon is the most popular drink here and this is closely followed by gin and lime, an unusual choice, but a favorite among the regular clients.

Foggy Guys is really hard to define. It has the interior of an upscale English pub, serves a mixture of Spanish and Italian food, and wafts in jazz as the background music.

Thus, there is a hint of a nautical ambiance from bygone days, and the dimmed lighting contributes to the romantic mood.
