    Careful with the bartender. We asked for a russian mule And a whole chunk of ginger came in The glass. It should be an accent of ginger not a whole piece of it. Not sure if he/she knew The recipe.

    Cool venue, good crowd. Hard to say much more since you never know how the show's gonna go until the show goes.

    The original Smalls was a raw basement space that quickly became the late-night hangout for a multi-generational assortment of jazz musicians.
