Tucked in the basement level of a historic St. Paul building, the Artists' Quarter has a subterranean, classic vibe evoking a bygone era. The club is owned by working jazz musicians, who designed a sound, look and feel for the optimal live experience. Whether presenting a legend like Roy Haynes (who recorded the live CD Whereas at the club) or a rising star from the Twin Cities scene, the AQ takes its jazz very seriously. Don’t despair the lack of a kitchen – the friendly AQ staff will set you up with food delivered by nearby restaurants.
The Artists' Quarter is open from 7:00 pm until 1:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, the Artists' Quarter will open 1/2 hour before any scheduled public show, show times vary so check the calendar at www.artistsquarter.com. 
For most shows we do not take reservations. The best way to guarantee a seat is to show up a little early.
