    What makes it fun

    The Street Hotel, located at 18th and The Paseo, was recognized as a safe haven for African American tourists in the 1930s. It's where Jackie Robinson lived when he was in town, according to The Negro Motorist Green Book. "The Blue Room" was the name of the hotel's famed nightclub. Our jazz club, named after the legendary lounge, serves as both an exhibit and a venue, providing an intimate environment for performances by the best local and national jazz talent.

    We truly enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. There were some nice exhibits in the Blue Room to peruse before the show. Intimate setting, clean and welcoming. The instrumentalists were INCREDIBLY talented! We'll be back.

    The blue room is iconic. I brought my father in law to see Misha Roberts play, between her amazing performance and all the jazz history, it is now a requirement to stop in for a show whenever he is in town.

    This is a nice cozy bar to have a drink and listen to jazz. The lady bartender was very welcoming and knew a lot of history about the area. A great experience for tourists.
