About Eighty Eights Coffee & Cocktails

Mornings bring coffee and laptops, and from early evening Wednesday to Sunday the room turns into a listening venue: a brick stage wall under crystal chandeliers and green velvet curtains, a grand piano, and bands playing jazz and soul to a seated room. Thursday is dueling pianos. Seats are booked through an online chart with a cover charge, and food stops once the music starts, so dinner belongs elsewhere. The cocktail bar is well regarded, and staff and management earn praise for going out of their way. The main warning concerns the bill: a 20% gratuity is added automatically, including on the cover, and one guest said it was not disclosed. Evening sets run until midnight most nights and eleven on Sunday, with the coffee bar open from eight every day. Parking is ample, and it holds 4.5 stars from 256 Google reviews.
