jazz (2)

The House of Blues and Jazz gets a good range of international acts and it's an intimate venue with a music-loving crowd. I happened upon a jam session here, which had every amateur musician in the city crawling out of the woodwork.

For an upmarket Chinese night out, I can recommend Centro, the bar in the Kerry Centre hotel. Don’t be put off by it being in a hotel, because it is one of the chicest venues in the city. They have an inviting cocktail list, sometimes have live jazz and there is plenty of plush, comfortable furniture.
