More infoFrankie's Jazz Club near Beatty and Robson runs what's widely called the finest weekly live-jazz programming in the country, a large claim it mostly backs up. Masters, rising stars and local legends rotate through a candlelit supper-club room while you order Italian plates and a bottle. Reserve ahead, dress up a touch, and let Thursday's late set run to 12:30am.
Reserve ahead, the good nights sell out, dress up a touch and book a small table near the trio. Order the Italian plates and a bottle, then settle in for the late set, which runs to 12:30am Thursday through Saturday. This is a sit-still, soak-it-in evening, so block off a generous two-plus hours and let the band run long. It's the cinematic, slow-burn high note rather than a place to bar-hop from.
