About the room
I opened the Late Set in 2018 because Rochester had a jazz festival nine days a year and nowhere to hear it the other 356. The room seats sixty, the piano is tuned every Tuesday, and nobody is asked to keep their voice down during the set — the music does that on its own.
It’s small on purpose. You’ll hear the drummer breathe, and by your second visit the bartender will remember what you drink.

What people say
The closest thing to a New York basement club I’ve found this side of the Thruway. Get there for the first set and stay for the second.
We booked the back booth for my mother’s birthday. The trio played her request without being asked twice, and the Old Fashioned really is that good.
Sets at 8 and 10
Reserve a table for either set, or ask about the room for a private night.
