One of the highlights of the day for many is relaxing in a bar after work, especially a jazz bar. Having a drink and listening to jazz can help melt away stress and refresh your depleted energy supply. But recently, more and more bars are converting into boisterous pubs, and it's getting harder to find a quiet place to listen to some jazz. With this in mind, Citylife has put together a list of bars to help you jazz up your life.
