The Jazz Voyager

From Dallas to the 71901 zip code in Hot Springs, Arkansas is the next journey for the Jazz Voyager to catch a Thursday night session at the Ohio Club with the Clyde Pound Trio. Located at 336 Central Avenue. Known for it 147 degrees Fahrenheit, Hot Springs and the Ohio Club quickly became a destination for a soak in the natural waters that swelled up from the ground.

Established in 1905, the Ohio Club is the oldest bar in Arkansas and with a gambling casino it was a stop off place for celebrities of all walks of life. The club was regularly visited by the likes of Al Capone, Bugsy Siegel, Bugs Moran, Lucky Luciano, Babe Ruth, Al Jolson and Mae West, to name a few. In addition, an entire host of Blues and Jazz performers played though the 60’s.

They serve a cuisine from lite to hearty appetizers, salads, burgers and sandwiches ranging from around $6.00 – $13.00 as well as a full bar to select from. So while there this Jazz Voyager will be delving into some of the delicacies and staying over to take a dip in the springs.

Hours of operation are 11:00 am to midnight Sunday – Thursday, 2:00 am on Friday and Saturday. Must be 21 or older to gain entrance and service. As always, more information can be received by calling 501-627-0702.
