Jazz Jam Session with Nimbus Jazz Trio - Every Thursday night!

CHOW284 is proud to present the Nimbus Jazz Trio!
Every Thursday, we will be hosting a live jazz jam session that YOU can be a part of! Have you ever dabbled in an instrument but were too shy to perform for a crowd? Are you a fan of your own singing in the car on the way home from work? Here's your chance to be a part of a real band. Show the world your skills!
Nimbus Jazz Trio (Josh Aptner - drums, Greg Matthews - guitar, Chris Coyle - bass) will be here improvising some great tunes and encouraging you to join them. Hide your subtle musical miscues with the backup of a professional band.
No need to be shy as everybody is welcomed to sing or play an instrument, even bring your own instrument. Heck, you can just get up and lay a spirited dance routine on us if you feel the need.


Jam sessions are every Thursday, beginning at 7:30.

Quizzo every Wednesday - Hosted by Mixed Media Productions - $5 pitchers!!!

Hey smarty-pants! You talk a big game, but can you back it up?!

If you think you're smart and love to brag, then this is your opportunity to rub your knowledge of completely useless information in other people's faces. Mixed Media hosts our weekly Quizzo with challenging trivia and it can get a little competetive (two groups have an ongoing bet where the losers bake & bring in brownies or cupcakes for the winners).

So if you know what a haboob is, or what type of insect a Spanish fly is, come on over.

Our drink specials include $5 pitchers of Miller Lite & Yuengling to all participants. Get here a little early for our 284 Happy Hour which includes $2 pints, $4 wine glasses and $5 starters. We also have a $5 Martini of the Day.

Ask your server/bartender about any other specials we may be holding.
