Jazz Café opens April 5.
Since 2005, Lydia’s Cafe has earned the reputation for bringing top-tier jazz musicians in from around our area and NYC every Saturday night, presented in an intimate, friendly environment. Also known for their amazing Crispy Duck dinner, the two concepts have merged into Duck & Cover – jazz café.
Lydia’s is also Cannabis friendly, meaning we don’t dispense, we enjoy. Our outdoor cannabis lounge (located next door at our private residence) is the perfect place to hang between sets and our outdoor dining patio provides a place to schmooze with friends without disturbing the listening audience.
Menu items also feature Pan Seared Salmon, Grilled Pizza, Sirloin & Vegan Burgers, Fried Chicken, Crab Cakes, Homemade Soups & Desserts.
Reservations are recommended and instead of a Cover charge, we suggest a minimum $20 donation.

Led by trumpeter Ben Holmes, the group features Brad Shepik on guitar and Shane Shanahan on percussion.
