Is there an additional charge for music?
We add a $5-$15 per person entertainment charge to your check. The entertainment charge varies depending on the musicians performing. The exact charge for each performance can be seen on the calendar page of our website. The entertainment charge is added to your bill in addition to any food or beverages you purchase. It also applies to those who have dined with us in the upstairs bistro dining room.
If I have a dinner reservation, am I guaranteed a seat in the cafe after I eat?
We cannot guarantee tables in the Jazz Café for our guests who dine in the bistro, but we will make every effort to find a table for those who wish to enjoy the music after they dine.
What kind of music do you offer in the jazz cafe?
Paris Bistro and Jazz Cafe features music by some of Pennsylvania and the surrounding states’ most talented musicians. The style of music is often, but not exclusively, Jazz. Often, the Jazz style can be described as “straight-ahead” jazz, the music of the Great American Songbook, music of the Jazz Era 1910’s-1930’s and Gypsy Jazz. Most often we will feature a trio or quartet with a vocalist. You can view the full music calendar right here on our website. Click this link to see the current calendar.
Smoking
Paris Bistro does not allow smoking of any kind, including pipes, cigars and electronic cigarettes. We thank you for your cooperation.
