Ryles Jazz Club review - Cambridge, MA

Since 1919, this historic Inman Square jazz club has featured national musicians such as Arturo Sandoval, McCoy Tyner, Maynard Ferguson, Jon Hendricks, and the Count Basie Orchestra. The venue’s large windows on Hampshire Street lure you in to hear their fantastic live music. The club’s first floor performance space has a jazz theme with instruments and framed pictures of jazz legends on the wall, and dim lighting to set the mood. Their dinner menu features BBQ ribs, pulled pork, and seafood options including barbecued shrimp, fried catfish, and Maryland crab cakes. But jazz isn’t the only music on the menu. Brazilian, blues and swing bands perform nightly. Ryles is also a dance lovers paradise with weekly salsa, merengue and cha-cha classes. They also have a hugely popular Sunday Jazz Brunch with live music, fresh strawberry mimosas, Bavarian French Toast, and over 10 types of omelets. If you want to get your dance on, or just listen to some cool live music Cambridge-style, try Ryles Jazz Club.
