The Hat Bar
The Hat is a classic American jam set pool from the 1940s and 1950s. The venue's signature feature is its nightly jam sessions — the founders believe these are the most exciting and vibrant things in jazz.
The Hat has hosted nearly every world jazz star touring St. Petersburg. Among them are Louis Hayes, Steve Grossman, Nino Katamadze, Bill Charlap, Jason Brown, Peter Washington, Joe Farnsworth, Mark Gross, Michelle Walker, Sharon Clark, Tom Waits' guitarist Omar Torres, the full Tiger Lillies, and many others. Despite their renowned names and worldwide fame, the musicians took to the stage without announcement or posters, purely out of a love of live art.
The concept of "special guest" is nonexistent here, as is a poster. But if you ask what's coming tomorrow, you'll hear a definitive answer: "Tomorrow there will be jazz."
