Provides Live spontaneous jazz on Mondays for $3. This has been called the hipster's hangout and features the best of local edgy jazz bands like Gloryland Ponycat (George Cartwright, Alden Ikeda, and Adam Linz), Fat Kid Wednesdays (Adam Linz, Michael Lewis, and JT Bates), Discussion Unit (Anthony Cox, Milo Fine and JT Bates).

According to Paul D. Dickinson, "These days the Clown Lounge stage is reserved for the finest local and guest jazz musicians. Spawned in the fall of 1999, these Monday night free jazz "implosions" are delivered like a testament. Packed with young jazz hipsters who hang on every note and old timers who believe that they've died and gone to blue note heaven, even this metal head/punker has gaped in awe at many of their moves."

The room is small and feels like the basement of a three bedroom rambler. It's even decorated like a basement thats been given over to teen-agers, with christmas lights and candles. A low ceiling and poor ventalation keeps the smoke in a constant haze. When I dropped in, the scheduled band had cancelled, and I was treated to sume interesting sounds with a strange looking home-made electronic thing. The After thte first 'song' an old timer headed out saying "these are the same sounds I hear in my head all the time anyway".
