    Wicked little jazz venue. We arrived crazy late one night expecting it to be dead and there was an awesome free improv jazz group tearing it up. Exactly what I was looking for. Brilliant music, really cool decor and friendly too. Would definitely come back if I lived nearby.

    Amazing little spot for amazing musical performances. I went here for a small a jazz performance and it was and it was swell. I didn’t expect it to be that great but it was one of amazing performances I’ve witnessed live. It’s owned by a small owner and they’re really great and very welcoming. I highly recommend this spot if you want to experience something amazing.

    Enjoyed Hailey"s Mae Sun experience so much! Very chill space and much respect for the artists! Cool front porch sitting areas to relax between sets! A living room feel inside with comfortable couches and seating. Good drinks and great music! Hospitality appreciated.

    This place was such a gem! So glad we last minute decided to check this place out. Such a unique music venue with an intimate feel. The musicians were incredible and the bartender was so friendly. If we didn’t have to leave early, I would have stayed all night if I could. Definitely coming back the next time I visit NY!

  • 5/5 Christina P. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal jazz!Came in on a whim and was highly impressed. There was a trumpet towards the end that was really good. The chemistry between all the players is incredible. This is a very talented group and they all have such a unique style. If you are in the area swing by! (I think they play on Friday nights and some Saturdays) Such swing and swangy jazz, I left full of energy. It is clear that all the players have a passion for music and have had time to practice their craft. I will definitely be back!

  • 1/5 arta e. 2 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    I would call this place a wonderful gem in the neighborhood if it wasn't for Gerry Eastman, a narcissist sellout whom calls himself a "legend" because of celebrities he may have known, while playing the role of gentrifying the area and deliberately helping raise prices for his own benefit while real creative people go on starving for basic human rights and necessities. Legendary hypocrisy !!

    This place was small and quaint. The music was amazing, and the vibe right on point for what you're looking for on a Friday night. The service and hospitality of the owner were impeccable. Would definitely go back again and again.

    Went there for a jazz concert, the music was incredible! Plus, alcohol was also available (made the experience even more enjoyable). Would definitely go back again!

    We had an amazing time last night listening to jazz at the Williamsburg Music Center. Gerry Eastman, along with a superbly talented drummer, keyboard player and trumpet player were truly amazing. The venu itself is very authentic, filled with vinyl records, artwork and tributes to local jazz artists. The bartender was great. We'll definitely be back!
