I stopped by to listen to the great Debby Duncan on a Tuesday. It's sad to hear her in such a tacky room. (It reminded me of a suburban hotel's meeting room...of course the reconstructed bar section is nice.) That the slow inattentive bar tender charged me $12.00 for a Dewars, did not warm me up to Times. The wait staff was exceptionally rude, and yes, inattentive.
There are other places in town for food and music/jazz. I've been to many where the staff is much more considerate and professional, and the room is less creepy. The Times is simply depressing.
I thought I would give the Times another try, but found it closed/out of business. I am not at all bothered to see this scary mess put out of its' misery. Down the tubes is an appropriate fate for the Times.
Pros: nice section of bar
Cons: ambience, service, price
