Mezzrow
M-Th 7pm-12:30am; F-Sa 6:30pm-2am; Su 6:30pm-12:30am
Just down the street from Smalls is their sister club, Mezzrow, hidden underneath Te Company. Every ten minutes or so, one can feel the A Train pass by and shake the entire bar, which only adds to the underground speakeasy feel of the space. On the evening that we stopped by, the staff was preparing for owner and jazz pianist Spike Wilner’s birthday party.
Named after famous clarinet player Mezz Mezzrow, this club, which opened in 2014, is described as the more intimate and piano based side of Smalls, both of which are owned by Wilner and Mitch Borden. Mezzrow has hosted the likes of Brad Mehldau and Kurt Elling, among others. Like Smalls, all of the performances at Mezzrow are live streamed and archived. Guests are invited to stop in any day of the week for a relaxing night of live jazz and drinks.
