Wandered into Puppets Jazz for the first time last Saturday. SO Glad I found it. Yes, the owner was encouraging us to come inside from the street. No, there was no cover. The music, by Randy Johnston and trio, was great. Much better quality of jazz than I expected to find in a little place on 5th Ave in Brooklyn. The place filled up as the evening went on and the crowd was in to it, which is great too. Don't know why the previous reviewer would go into a jazz club if he wants to talk over the music.
Drinks are reasonably priced, through the bar needs to diversify their selection a little more. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Nice sound, not too loud, but jammin. If you like Jazz, go!
Pros: Great Jazz in a small club atmosphere
Cons: Not a great beer selection
