After Dark
The country's finest weekly live-jazz programming, Italian plates, and late sets until 12:30am near Beatty and Robson.
Frankie's Jazz Club near Beatty and Robson runs what is widely described as the finest weekly live-jazz programming in the country. That is a large claim. The room runs most nights of the week with established masters, rising stars and local legends rotating through a candlelit supper-club room while you order Italian plates and a bottle and lean into the evening. The late set on Thursdays through Saturdays runs to 12:30am, which is the kind of end time that turns a dinner into an actual night out. Reserve a table ahead of time since the good nights sell out. Dress up a touch. There is something quietly cinematic about sitting three feet from a trio working through standards, and it becomes more cinematic the longer you let it run.
