Welcome to the Winter of Rebellion

Our after-hours speakeasy-style series where wine flows, jazz smolders, and comedy keeps things dangerously fun through the winter months. We’re hosting a rotating lineup of intimate nights filled with live jazz, stand-up comedy, and that underground energy you didn’t know you needed this season.

Each evening has its own personality — some nights smooth and soulful, others laugh-out-loud ridiculous — but every night will be one to remember!

Here’s how it works

Show up hungry and ready to relax into sultry jazz music or to laugh so hard you have to try not to spit your wine everywhere.

Comedy Nights

A ticket price of $25 per person will be charged at the door on comedy nights to support our local artists. Please no children. 21+ only. These jokes will not be family friendly.

Jazz Nights

Jazz nights are free to attend. These nights are meant for everyone. Perfect for families.

Reservations are appreciated. Walk-ins are always welcome
