A small, intimate jazz club located at an altitude of 4000m presenting all forms of live jazz and blues. The walls are decked out with artwork of jazz musicians and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting – you could be forgiven for thinking you’re in a candlelit club in New Orleans rather than in La Paz.
On Mondays and Tuesdays there’s no cover and you can listen to groups practice, and local and international artists perform Wednesday through Saturday. Open from 9:00pm – 4:00am. Drinks and snacks.
Bebop fans love this charmingly low-key bar for its live and often impromptu performances and great atmosphere. A flier on the wall promotes forthcoming sessions. There is an annual jazz festival held here the first two weeks of September.
