by Stephanie C. on i came here on a saturday night with my girlfriends. First of all the line was ridiculous, not to mention the fact that the bouncers paid more attention to the people who were cutting the line and coming straight to them to be allowed in... basically if you dressed like a high class prostitute they let you in, and they wont i.d. you. Anyways so they didnt let two friends of mine in, one of the girls was a dike, and was not dressed appropriately, and the other girl was dressed in her little black dress and heels, but was not allowed in because she is a damn size 14.. they basically told her YOUR TOO FAT to get in.. im NEVER EVER GOING TO THIS PLACE AGAIN
by Lonny Billey on I went here a few days ago with a few friends and had a great time. The jazz (performed by the Eddie Henderson Quartet) was phenomenal. I'm no jazz buff, but it sounded fantastic. The venue is intimate and cozy, without being too cramped. The food was surprisingly tasty (veggie sandwich), if way overpriced. I highly recommend an evening at Smoke, just beware the $25 cover and high food prices. It's a great way to kick back and watch some live music. (As with most jazz bars: funky glasses, velvet or suede jackets and rhythm not included.)
