In the land of samba, forró, and axé, it can be hard to find a club with blues and jazz on the menu. Such is Bourbon Street. This midsize venue is a safe bet almost any night of the week (closed Sun-Mon) for bossa nova, jazz, funk, or even salsa. Anything but samba. Doors open at 9pm; the show starts at 10:30pm (11:30pm on Fri and Sat).
