Housed in an erstwhile brewery, Ortlieb's attracts committed jazz fans and musicians. With a "haus" band (led by Mickey Roker) and organ trio in residence, jam sessions are scheduled twice weekly. It's a keystone in the local jazz scene.

Ortlieb's is a musician's bar, and chances are, that there will be more players in the crowd than on the bandstand. A fair amount of sitting in takes place, and this is the spot where names will show up to jam after hours when a festival is in town. No cover, and cheap beer ensure plenty of students and impecunious but appreciative jazz fans packing the joint every weekend. You have to eat to get a table. The American-Cajun food is filling and down-home. Overall, in the downtown area, there is no better place to hear Jazz.
