Live Music
The best places to go for live music.
Alto is the real deal. An old school jazz bar as you’ve seen it in the movies. Did you know that Chet Baker also played here? Live music usually starts at 10PM.

Maloe Melo is an authentic blues and rock (‘n roll) bar. See great bands in the back or settle down in the front with awesome music from the tape recorder.
