Step through an old telephone box into an electric basement den running on pure New Orleans swing. The room stays loud and packed. Regulars unpack picnic spreads of cheese, crackers, and takeaway beers from the bottle-o up the street—or dial the local pizza spot straight to their table. On stage, the band hits their groove and stays locked in the pocket, driving the crowd onto the dance floor before the opening set even wraps.

- Strictly BYO & Delivery: Bring your own food and alcohol—or phone local spots that deliver hot pizza right to your shared table.
