This place, down the escalator at the Bellevue, features the best of the city's and touring jazz bands. The ambience is elegant, so you may want to dress up for a visit. Open until 2am nightly.

Philadelphia's premier venue for live jazz is also a great place to have dinner -- witness the many happy pretheater and -symphony diners who take the Bellevue's escalator downstairs for Zanzibar Blue's glamorous surroundings and mixed, sophisticated group of patrons.
