Fodor's Review:

A famous magazine photograph immortalized this place, on the 19th floor of the Mark Hopkins InterContinental, as a hot spot for World War II servicemen on leave or about to ship out. Entertainment ranges from solo jazz piano to six-piece jazz ensembles. Cover charges and schedules vary, but tend to be around $10 beginning at 7 PM weekdays and 9 PM weekends.
