Please Note: MONKS JAZZ IS NOW A FULL SERVICE BAR. As part of this transition, Monks Jazz is no longer a BYOB venue. We invite you to enjoy our thoughtfully curated beverage menu and roll with us through the changes! Monks prides itself as a listening room, but late night sessions are always a time to enjoy yourselves a bit more. Free parking is available in the area.

Doors at 10:45 PM, Show at 11:00 PM
