This is a rare, lady standing true jazz bar dive, it's perfect the way it is. Sam the owner is always welcoming . The Sisters who bartend always offer up free food and comfort . ❤️🍷🙏🏼😀
Great dive bar with Music 7 nights a week, Esther the bartender makes you feel like you are part if the family and the owner Sam always has chicken and beans and rice on the house if you need to eat.
The Corcoran GroupApril 30, 2012Pay a visit to a charming neighborhood dive bar with great Jazz music, a friendly crowd and rarely a cover charge. Yes it’s a bit rundown, but that’s park of its allure.
amNewYorkMay 5, 2013Fit for stumbling upon with its charming shack-like façade, equipped with fairy lights, a brown picket fence, a bulletin board of sorts and a cozy outdoor seating area. Live music seven days a week.
CompassMay 15, 2014A street-facing picket fence and unmissable blue awning hint at the homey digs therein: a well-aged dartboard and jukebox have helped to establish it as a Harlem bar standard.
Jerome FrancoisJuly 20, 2019I want to spend a night in this club with my wife the 31th of july. We want ro know if booking is required. I try to send a mail on club's website but it doesn't work. Someone can help us
Marleide RochaSeptember 15, 2014Paris Blues is a nice place to listem a good jazz. If you meet a black old Mr. called Mansur, spend some time talk to him.
Mark HeyertDecember 28, 2016Came in during the day and the vibe was super mellow. Good place to collect one's thoughts during a hectic day in Harlem.
Diego FJune 1, 2016A little bit expensive but very good live music. Lots of participation by the customers with the band
Its a warm friendly place and everyone is fun..Esther the bar tender is the best..Les is great
Lina TrifonJune 6, 2016The music was great. But don't bother drinking anything more sophisticated than wine or beer.
Harlem AmbassadorApril 21, 2013This run down hole in a wall has some good music giving it an upgrade from a dive. (Some wish the drink prices would dive). Food may be served from aluminum trays at a cost. It is a music destination
Teodor GoagaOctober 1, 2018Credit Card payments does not work, we were charged for an extra glass of wine that we did not order, there is no food you can order.The music is great! The only reason I might return.
Bradford Campeau-LaurionApril 28, 2012I seriously hope more people don't discover this place because it is utter perfection as it is.
- Not so much a dive as an institution. Many noteworthy musicians
