The Dirty Dog is a wonderful venue for a night of music, food and libations! We were at the early seating for the Detroit iconic jazz group Straight Ahead. These ladies are on par with any small combo groups I've ever heard (male or female)! Our server, Katy, was excellent and provided on-point food and beverage recommendations. If you're looking for a cozy, intimate evening with great entertainment, The Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe is the place!
