    Staff is great. Talented musician played that night. And I was able to purchase a whole bottle of wine for my party. No complaints.

    Arts Garage is such a gem to have right in our backyard! We went to see The Women of Rock tribute band and had the best time. From Pat Benatar to Joan Jett to Janis Joplin and more, the music had us rocking out, dancing, and singing along all night. The energy in the room was contagious and made for such a fun evening. It's always a pleasure to stop by the box office and say hello to Andi -- she adds such a warm touch to the experience. I'm already looking forward to the next show and feel so grateful to have this treasure of a venue nearby. Can't wait to come back for another unforgettable night!

    The performance space

    This is a really fantastic community space with so much going on here and really wonderful to have in the neighborhood. It tends to be mostly cover bands, but I've seen some unique acts, book signings, plays, and open mic nights here. There is a bit of a gallery space in the lobby, and the performance room is intimate. The seating is a bit wonky, since it's all table based with banquet chairs. Tickets are for specific tables, not seats. While some tables have ample room all around, others are very tight. It's easy to get stuck in a spot with not a great view, facing the wrong direction, or really tight up against other tables and chairs. Unfortunately that happened to me not only this time, but previous times I've been here. There were was barely enough space for my chair, and I had to ask for them to move some tables around to get just a bit more room. Even then, it was still tight. There are definitely better roomier tables than I got, so it's really hit or miss. It's still a wonderful community place, and I'll be back again, but I'll try to scope out a better seat next time.

    Bottles of wine for $38!

    What a great little venue in downtown delray. Came here on a Friday evening for an Elvis impersonator. Show was 8-10pm. You're seated at tables and can bring your own food. A lot of people had anything from pizza and cheese and crackers. You can buy drinks at the bar which were very reasonably priced, they had a bunch of bottles of wine for $20-$30. Volunteers who worked there were all very nice and friendly. I can imagine parking might be difficult, we had parked down the block where we are dinner.

    We were a table of 3 couples at Arts Garage on Friday night enjoying a beautiful entertainer Anne Hampton Calloway - jazz singer/songwriter. She was powerful and delightful. She has written songs for stars Barbra Streisand and Linda Ronstadt just to name a couple. The performance takes place in an intimate space filled with round tables - there's no bad seat in the house. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful and are all volunteers. This is a non profit business featuring amazing entertainment from every genre. They sell alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages but no food. However, you can always bring food in and eat at your table. The parking is available above in a multi level garage for a nominal fee. The theatre is located in Pineapple Grove district close to lots of restaurants and Delray Beach tennis center and shopping. It's so busy and fun! This is my third time here and loved it every time.

First, find some of the nearby street metered parking or for a better deal park in a nearby flat rate lot ($10) When your windows are down, you can hear the music as you approach the end of Commercial Blvd. There's a stage setup between a couple of the restaurants and the fishing pier, with some chairs set up. But why sit down, when you can jam to decent covers of everything from "Sweet Caroline" to Ceelo's "F You"? The band (Groove Line, I believe) even gets into the act dancing with the crowd!

    Having been informed of Jazz On The Square last spring, when in Fort Lauderdale for an early March…read more2008 visit I made sure to take a leisure stroll from the Hampton Beach Club Condos on S. Ocean Boulevard, which is where I was staying,at a friends apartment, to capture the Friday evening "Jazz On the Square" concert series at Pelican Square in Lauderdale By The Sea. Since my first vists to the Lauderdale By The Sea area in October 2005 the Anglin Beach Pier Village at Lauderdale By The Sea which some refer to as "The Village" is one of my favorite beach villages. As well as Deerfield and Hollywood beaches as opposed to the 'Lauderdale Beach' aliong Atlantic Boulevard. Having frequented Muscle Beach in South Beach for the Winter Party Festival one two occasions if I had my choice of beaches I think it would be Hollywood, Deerfield and Lauderdale By The Sea. In that order. As I entered Pelican Square which is just yards from the Anglin Pier / Beach on Friday evening, 7 March 2008, I remembered that my friend who lives in the Hampton Beach Club had told me that the band that he saw last spring was a blues band and that he 'throughly enjoyed watching the women dancing together'. While the band played on. So, as I entered from Ocean Boulevard, along Commerical Boulevard, en route to Pelican Square at El Mar Drive, and as a soulful rendition of "Sittin On The Dock Of Day" reverberated through "The Village" I wondered if it was the same band. As I spent the next 45 minutes to an hour photographing and videotaping folks dancing the streets the Rick Bauer Band played Bruce Springsteen's "Everybody's Got a Hungry Heart", Johnny Cash's "Love Is a Burnin' Thing", Bob Seger and the Silver Bullets' "Old Town Rock and Roll" and Stephen Still's "Love The One You're With" before the band took a break. At which time I headed back to the apartment on South Ocean Boulevard to rejoin friends for dinner which our guests from NYC had prepared. When I showed images that I had taken of the band to my friend he said that it was a different band. Which I had suspected since the blues band that he spoke of consisted mostly of older afro-american men. May I suggest that if you are ever in the Lauderdale By The Sea area on a Friday evening that you check out Jazz On The Square at Pelican Square which, just yards from the Anglin Pier and Beach, takes place from 6 until 10 pm on the streets just outside of The Village Grille and Village Pump at El Mar Drive and Commercial Boulevard. Here is the website at http://www.villagegrille.com/events.html. And should you ever get the opportunity to catch the Rick Bauer Band, by all means do so. To order cds or learn more about the Rick Bauer Band, visit their websites at www.rickbauerband.com or /www.myspace.com/rickbauerband. In addition to founder Rick Bauer, drummer Rich Pistocchi and bassist Rick Bauer (known to all as Pops), a power trio that has garnished local an international acclaim as one of the most ecclectic and capable three pieces anywhere, on this particularly evening, the Rick Bauer Band also featured Richard Malfitano or "Malfie" on sax. A video clip #2/5, from the event, of 'folks dancing the streets' as the Rick Bauer Band performed Bruce Springsteen's "Everybody's Got A Hungry Heart" may be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZliuD5FS7k.

I headed to Blue Jean Blues in Fort Lauderdale specifically to check out the Valerie Tyson Band after a local friend highly recommended them. We drove up from Miami and they did not disappoint--they brought all the energy and put on an amazing performance! It happened to be Ms. Annie's birthday, so the band and the crowd were especially lively and fun. The Food (The 1-Star Dock): I'm docking the venue one star because they really need to step up their food game. There were four of us at our table, we all arrived hungry, and unfortunately, none of us were satisfied with our meals. Between us, we ordered the wings, cheese sticks, the chicken quesadilla, and a wedge salad with shrimp. For a venue like this, executing solid, good-quality bar food should be a given. As for my choice, the wedge salad was a total miss--the tomatoes were overly ripe (and not in a good way, I couldn't tell if they were in a strange marinade or just too ripe), and the lettuce wedge lacked appropriate crispness, arriving more like a flat pancake instead of a wedge. Now, I will say, as a self-proclaimed French fry connoisseur, the side of fries we ordered was actually pretty good! (Gotta mix the good with the bad, right?) But the rest of the menu definitely needs some major improvement. Pro-Tip: Be incredibly careful with parking out here and make sure you pay! I saw two different meter maids actively writing tickets while we were there. Don't let an expensive parking ticket ruin a great night of music. Return Factor: I would absolutely come back to Blue Jean Blues to see the Valerie Tyson Band again, especially if I'm staying right here in Fort Lauderdale next time!
