To be fair, let me begin by saying that I haven't been to the Green Mill often, but that's partly because I'm not sure it's everything its rep says it is. I'm from New Orleans, so I agree that little bars with great, authentic jazz are gems, but there's something almost pretentious about this place. It is taken so seriously, that it almost sucks the pleasure right out of it. Bars and music are to be enjoyed, not revered -- lighten up, everyone!
