My cousin and I always get together and go to lounges but we really wanted to try something different. I found Louis 649 on citysearch and we were not dissapointed. This small nook of a jazz club made for a perfect night out. As soon as we entered we felt very comfortable the (very cute) bartender and the owner felt like they were our old buddies- the wine selection is fantastic- and so what if it's served in plastic cafeteria style cups- it just adds to the homey feel of the place. The musicians were phenominal and the crowd was so eclectic- it was obvious that everyone was there to relax and hear some great music. We sat next to a guy that was clearly a regular doing his work at the table- we sipped wine and looked through coffee table photography books and played with the owners adorable dog that could sleep right through the music but got restless between sets and would stand up behind the bar. Everything about this place was wonderful- we left feeling like we had tried something new and we had a very relaxing and entertaining evening. We will definately be making Louis 649 one of our regular haunts.
Pros: comfortable atmosphere, great wine list, great music
Cons: cheese plate... not recomended
