11 Best Jazz Clubs in NYC for World-Class Performers, Live Music, and More | Condé Nast Traveler

"Tucked in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this intimate, candlelit bar feels cinematic and lovingly made — you can practically feel that it was born out of devotion to food, wine, and music. The co-owners, acclaimed jazz musicians Richard Julian and Arthur Kell, rescued the signature sign reading “Liquid Love (A Sophisticated Meeting Place)” from a closed Bed-Stuy dive, a moment they describe as the nudge that sparked the venue; cocktails and small plates help keep the room packed while world-class, globe-spanning talent (Claudia Acuña, Jon Cleary, Guillermo Klein) underline the bar’s truly international pulse. The whole place reads like magical realism: romantic, genre-bending, and exactly the sort of cool haunt your friends will insist you visit." - Jessica Chapel
