Finally, a good Jazz place in Tally. They’re just getting things up and running and are about to expand their bar and food services. They are also going to expand their weekly offerings of music. As of right now Fridays are their best night.
They will get an expanded review once they do, but this is what to expect for now
A two-​story house that has had the downstairs converted. It is located across from the FAMU admin buildings and next to Oleans. A pretty mix crowd with jazz players from both universities and their supporters coming in throughout the evening. There are two sets, the music starts at 9pm and last till midnight with a 15 – 20 minute break in between sets. The visiting performers are invited to play with the regular musicians and it turns into a jam session.
The food options are extremely limited right now with chicken wings, artichoke dip, and a «mixed appetizer» sampler. Tried to order the wings last time but they didn’t have them. Beer and wine selections (warning, they chill their reds), and recently added a couple of seasonals and imports.
The ambiance is pretty relaxed and what you expect for an upstart jazz place. Not too many frills though the aluminum foil around the windows adds a little something to the vibe — hard to describe. Most people wear a nice top with either casual pants or jeans. The music lovers typically sit in the regular seating with the talkers/​supporters sitting at the tables. The place seats about 40 – 60 people. They have a tiny parking lot but there is plenty of safe and lit street parking across from the club.
There is a $ 10 cover that they add to your tab and suppose to be a $ 10 drink minimum. So don’t get sticker shock when your one beer tab comes out to be $ 15.50 — that includes the price of admission. Beer prices range between $ 2.50-$ 5.50 and wine is $ 5.50 a glass.
In our three visits to Hi Fi, the music has been incredible, the service great, and the owners have been there each time and love to talk with you. We really hope this place makes it — it really has something to add to the music scene here in Tallahassee.
