Fitz and the Wolfe is a cocktail and music venue shaped by the spirit of improvisation, storytelling, and the kind of nights that feel too good to end. Here, every night brings a new soundtrack. Jazz, swing, honky-tonk, and sometimes things a little more esoteric—if it moves people, we book it. The music fills the space like a second heartbeat, sometimes rowdy, sometimes intimate, always memorable. It’s not background noise. It’s the reason you’re here. fitzandthewolfe.com
