Ryles Jazz Club, a Cambridge Institution, Is Closing - Eater Boston

"Ryles Jazz Club, an Inman Square haunt for more than four decades, is closing. The club, known for its live music and dancing, features two floors with salsa, merengue, and other dancing on the second floor, and serves a full menu of barbecue, pizza, and more. It has been operated by the Mitchell family for 24 years, providing a platform for musicians to perform, whether they were Berklee students just starting out or much bigger names." - Terrence Doyle

Just saw "No Static" there last night. They are the ultimate Steely Dan band. What was great? Assigned seating, NOT overcrowded and the band was simply amazing. Plenty of room to dance, talk and enjoy the music. Just a great time!! Thank you.

Love that there is this great jazz - and sometimes funky rock-n'-roll dance music - venue in Cambridge. But seldom go there anymore.The stench of fried food does not blend well with the great vibes. Ain't it about time that some decent restaurant food is offered. Sorry, Mitch, whoever you are, but some good tapas, say, or sushi, maybe? Something more original than bar-b-q? Please? Maybe time to re-brand.

I love Ryles! Good drinks, great jazz (music), fun dancing upstairs, (Salsa, Bachata, Latin and much more. Usually a great crowd of people. You can easily have a great night out with friends and family. Highly recommended!

Awesome little dance bar in Cambridge about a mile from Harvard's campus! We came here for their Sunday Jazz Brunch. It was an incredible vibe! The food was delicious and relitively inexpensive, and the Jazz band was quite fun.

Awful. Went for a Halloween event. Staff was extremely rude & unprofessional. Couldn't regulate the line which was longer than it needed to be. Paid $30 to get in & was restricted to the 1st floor only. Dealt with ignorant security & a woman who I believe was one of the owners when trying to explain the unfairness going on. Why charge someone to get in & not let them enjoy themselves. Bar tender was extremely slow, waited almost 20 minutes AFTER we ordered our drinks for them to be made. I will never come back & I wish I could get my money back. I would give negative stars if I could.

This is a wonderful place for music and dancing, and deserves much more attention and patronage than it receives. I am at a loss as to why dancing is not more popular, especially in this urban environment where Ryles is so convenient. The food is good too!!
