I went to Rasselas last night (Saturday) after bouncing around at a few spots in the city, including another jazz spot. I haven't tried the food at Rasselas yet, but I enjoy their music. The place is spacious. Great for big groups, but you will probably be left standing next to the bar. The drinks are reasonably priced. It was $8 for my drink of choice, Remy VSOP neat (even served correctly in a snifter). The music was great. The bartender wasn't bad, but wasn't personable at all. Never cracked a smile. Only thing that I would have reservations about is that the crowd is definitely an older crowd. Thats cool and all, but being in my 20s I would feel outta place unless I came here with a big group of friends such as last night.

Awesome spot...just read the other reviews. Go on a Friday, check the website for the lineup. Get there early for a seat, like 45-60 min early (it gets crowded). Cover about $10. Great spoken word/poetry slam. The guests are the best and truly a treat. The competitors are usually great as well. They have a variety of all great looking events as well. Just a great place to experience in the heart of Alphabet City.

I'm embarassed to have ever gone to this crappy chain, but alas, certain friends from college have piss-poor taste in venue selection for large group events. If you enjoy nightclub or restaurant chains, then this is the spot for you, but in a town like San Francisco, I can't image anyone would come here unless they have friends like mine.
