Great place to see Jazz in Cambridge.

by hardinghouseinncambrdge

Since 1919, this historic Inman Square jazz club has featured national musicians such as Arturo Sandoval, McCoy Tyner, Maynard Ferguson, Jon Hendricks, and the Count Basie Orchestra. The venue?s large windows on Hampshire Street lure you in to hear their fantastic live music. The club?s first floor performance space has a jazz theme with instruments and framed pictures of jazz legends on the wall, and dim lighting to set the mood. Their dinner menu features BBQ ribs, pulled pork, and seafood options including barbecued shrimp, fried catfish, and Maryland crab cakes. But jazz isn?t the only music on the menu. Brazilian, blues and swing bands perform nightly. Ryles is also a dance lovers paradise with weekly salsa, merengue and cha-cha classes. They also have a hugely popular Sunday Jazz Brunch with live music, fresh strawberry mimosas, Bavarian French Toast, and over 10 types of omelets.

Great Jazz Brunch

by CPOC1980

I don't write reviews too often, but I had to write one about Ryles, especially since these others don't reflect the experiance I had.

I thought their Jazz Bruch was terrfic. Good music, great food and prices. I got the freshly squeezed OJ and the Bavarian French Toast (Stuffed with cream cheese and jam) delicious!

I did have trouble flaggin down a waiter, but once I did the service was acceptable. I will defiantely be back and soon :)

• Pros: Food and atmosphere
• Cons: Service, service, service

Relaxing Music Venue

by gripdxd

I went here to see some Portugese Jazz and it was a nice venue to see a performance. The service was good and bottles of wine were cheaply priced. We only had drinks, no food (other than a simple appetizer).

It fills up quickly as it gets closer to the performance time and it can be hard to get a table. The bar is quite large and looked inviting.

• Pros: Music performances, wine and service
• Cons: Chairs can be uncomfy after awhile.
