Best Jazz Club

Not much has changed at El Chapultepec over the past couple of decades — not the interior, not the food menu (the beef-and-bean burritos go surprisingly well with bebop), not the fact that the place is packed like a submarine on Saturday nights. Owner Jerry Krantz knows there’s simply no need to try to improve things. The teeny club is perfect as it is: a vibey, swingin’, smoky little joint where the stage is almost always occupied by the best players in town. For an authentic jazz experience, head to Market Street.
