Jazz Si is run by the Contemporary Music School situated nearby, and as such has a scholarly take on the usual smoky Jazz bar. It has unfathomably high ceilings and light brick walls, and in the day is patronized largely by students delving deep in lively discussion. At night, the lights are dimmed and some great live music ensues.

In spite of the name, jazz isn’t the only variety of music represented here; schedules vary according to which performers are in town, but on an average week, one can expect to choose between flamenco, blues and rock as well as the compulsory jazz nights. On the rare occasions that there is an entrance fee, the blow will tend to be softened by a free drink waiting upon entrance.
