Arthur's Tavern is a historic West Village jazz and blues club that's been running since 1937, known for live jazz nightly with no cover charge — just a reported $15-per-person, per-set minimum. Its small, intimate room and long-running reputation for live music are what draw a crowd, especially for the nightly sets rather than any food or drink specialty.
Reviewers describe it as mostly a walk-in scene that can fill up as showtime approaches, particularly once the second set starts around 10pm; one visitor reported waiting about 15 minutes without a reservation. Reservations are listed as available on Resy, and arriving earlier in the evening (around 8:30pm) is the reported strategy for smaller groups who want to be seated without a wait.
