Blue Wisp Jazz Club

I like this place a lot. The bar space is large and has a certain charm to it. They have lots of good draft beers and a nice bottle selection too. There is usually some kind of music going on at all times, which, if you like live music, is awesome. The menu is small, but very tasty. My wife and I both got the mac n' cheese the last time we were here and it was made with a real cheese sauce and cavatappi noodles. Service was friendly.

I REALLY wanted to love this place. It has history and great music.  I assume when bands are playing it is better.
Stand alone guitar player was great, love seeing someone play a guitar with absolutely no effort.

Bar staff was friendly, while not terribly organized or efficient.
Stay away from the food at all costs!
Wings- ordered buffalo, came out w/o ANY sauce at all.  Tasted as if they went from freezer to fryer.  Old oil.

Tried one of their "recommended entrees", the Mac n Cheese bowl, with Shrimp.

This MAY have been OK for a kids plate.  The "shrimp" amounted to about one boiled/gummy shrimp with absolutely no seasoning or taste cut in about 8 pieces and put on top of spiral pasta.

Pasta was hot, I will give it that, but sauce was absolutely horrible.  Appeared as if it was straight velveeta (and I do enjoy velveeta every now and again) with cream and a roux added.  Maybe saying a roux may be a bit optimistic, because it just tasted like raw flour was added to thicken (you could taste and "feel" the grittiness of the flour).

Enjoy the drinks and music, but food wise... Heard food is fairly new at this place.  Either go back to no food, or go to less items that can actually be executed.

Decor (for such a great location), left something to be desired.  Just random crappy posters on the wall.  So much more could be done with the space with just a little imagination.  Over 1/2 the tv's in the main room were actually powered off!

This place is an institution in this city.  Run it as such!

Dell Williams plays the blues. Local guy from Cincy. The wings are godd as well as the service.  I recommend when u ate in Cincy.
