Jazz and lots of it at this Uptown landmark, famously an old hangout of Al Capone (who's not, though, around as much as he used to be). Go on a Sunday evening for the weekly poetry slam. National talent Patricia Barber performs on most Mondays along with a few other excellent resident ensembles. Covers usually less than $10
