"If you’re looking to significantly improve a random Tuesday night, go to Rue B in Alphabet City and drink an Old Fashioned while you listen to live jazz. They post info about their nightly musical performances on Instagram here, but you can generally expect shows to typically run from 7pm to 9pm. On Saturday nights, they always host a barbershop quartet out front called Scout Ford And The Blue Moons. A tip: you can hear the band from the outdoor seating areas at Haile and Frangos Peri Peri." - hannah albertine
"Rue B is a throwback bar/restaurant that focuses on all things vintage. With live jazz every week and a photograph collection of jazz icons on each wall they do a pretty good job. The happy hour is a steal with 50% of all drinks on the menu." - Champions
"Walk into Rue B on any given night, and you’ll find a mix of dates getting a nightcap, and people wearing fedoras getting really into the jazz. With dim red lighting and individual tables along the wall, as well as jazz musicians who play every night - this East Village bar works equally well for both. Arrive early to avoid the $10 cover and take advantage of half-priced beer and wine during Happy Hour (5 to 8pm nightly)." - Matt Tervooren
"Meanwhile, jazz lounge Rue-B has added daytime coffee service a few blocks away at 188 Avenue B, between East 11th and 12th Streets. The cafe will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, according to EV Grieve." - Carla Vianna
