    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    Wow! I cannot believe it's taken me this long to find this place. Such a great venue right here in Delray Beach. I like that it's so incredibly laid back... simple, just a large room with tables, a stage. Located right in the heart of town, on street level. Just walk in, go right into the venue or stop by the very basic "bar" for some beer or wine to take in with you. Pricing is fair for everything, including tickets... it's a non- profit. Went to see a Reggae Group that was doing a tribute to Bob Marley... main singer used to play with Bob. The band was great. Venue acoustics were great... love being so close... pretty much all the tables provide awesome seating. For this show you could select your table in advance... even though you select your seats online when you purchase your tickets, the seats are actually not reserved... you pick any seat at your table when you arrive. Worked out well. The staff, all volunteers, who work here are the nicest people! Really love this place!! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    All children are welcome. You need to purchase a seat for anyone you bring. Definitely take into consideration, which I'm sure you do, the content and the volume when deciding! Live music and the arts are so important to all of us - children too!… 

    Can we still bring food and drink to the shows?

    Only food. All drinks, including water must be purchased there at their bar.

    Do they still have open mic night?

    They have during the weeknights local artists in poetry and music, I believe once a week.

There were mostly couples there but the saxophonist, Ross was great. The drinks were strong and the food I ordered was good. The only downside was how long the food took, but I would come back if in Florida again. I enjoyed myself and would recommend for people looking for a date night location or a more upscale experience who appreciate jazz. I also met one of the owners Kedan, who was very cute.

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.

There was already a crowd outside waiting for the next seating, and once inside, the intimate setup immediately stood out. With only about a dozen tables, a tiny bar, and the rest of the room dedicated to the stage, it feels exclusive without being pretentious. We sat at the VIP table tucked off to the side. At first, I wondered if the view would be limited, but it ended up being one of the coolest seats in the house. Watching the performers through the side curtains gave everything a romantic, vintage feel, while looking out across the room made it feel like you were hosting the evening. A special shout-out to our server, Arlene. She was hilarious, quick-witted, attentive, and timed everything perfectly. She even brought dessert out at just the right moment so we could enjoy it while finishing the show without feeling rushed. The only disappointment was that the grill was down that evening, so most of the beef entrées weren't available. Thankfully, I had planned on ordering the salmon anyway, and it was cooked perfectly. Just know that if you're coming specifically for a steak, you may want to confirm availability first. The passion fruit cheesecake was much sweeter than I expected, but still delicious. And then there's the jazz. Miami doesn't have nearly enough places like this. The musicians were talented, and the atmosphere alone is worth the visit. If you're a serious jazz fan, you may wish there was a little more improvisation and a little less sticking to the standard arrangements. The vocalist was good, but none of the performances were particularly unforgettable. Still, that's not really why you come here. You come for an intimate room, live jazz, attentive service, great ambiance, and a memorable night out. Armstrong Jazz House absolutely delivers on that. I'll definitely be back.

An old school retro american motorcycle/live music venue minutes from the beach. And I bet you it was. Before that billion dollar corporation had purchased it. Mind you, with all that money --they can't manage to put a lock on their bathroom door or keep their toilet paper full. Most of the bands are semi karaoke with the backup musicians all pretending to play. Don't take my word for it, just watch for a couple seconds, and you'll figure it out. Double roads and funky biscuit and many other music venues around this neighborhood, between Boca and Jupiter, have actual bands playing actual musical instruments. So if you're interested in that, you might want to go elsewhere. I don't really come here for the music. I sort of come here too just watch the interesting array of characters that pop inside. And just to relax while having a drink. The music is OK though. I guess it's better than just listening to TouchTunes. And some of the Fake musicians do put on a good show. The biggest problem with the spot is the attitude of the bartenders. I'm not saying that they're bad people. But they're really not happy. And the odd thing is, having lived in Santa Barbara and many other beach towns, it's a rare thing to live in such a beautiful place or working in one at least, and be so pissed off. Particularly when you're young. So I don't know what their problem is, but I think whoever owns this place should take them on a field trip or something. Maybe buy them a new watch or a car or whatever. Still, there are exceptions. And it's not a bad place if you're going be in tourist trap Delray. Which I would avoid in general. Regarding food: it's gone super downhill. So they really need a new chef and likely a new menu,
