"It’s impossible to miss the live music set-up at Bix. The old-school American restaurant in Jackson Square is centered around a grand piano, with a nightly schedule of solo pianists and jazz duos or trios. Whether you’re upstairs, downstairs, or perched on a bar stool next to the martini glasses chilling on a mound of ice, there’s no bad seat in the house. Just sit back, enjoy a middling burger or a slightly too-wet caesar, and let a tie-wearing cellist serenade you." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
