This
door is the entrance to Little MANUELA.
When you open this thick door, the hot notes of Jazz will come
out, welcoming you.
The
moment when the woes of your busy day disappears and you feel
refreshed. |

The club is
not large. Whenever there are private celebrations such as birthdays
and promotions, we ask everyone who happens to visit to join
in, but it becomes very crowded when more than 40 guests honor
these occasions.
We had this kind
of crowd every night 15 years ago.
These days, though,
weekdays are fairly quiet. You can sing as much as you want
to. It is also very good for having quiet talks and relaxing
drinks.

When
you come in, you will see the piano with a counter around it
on the right.
Professional
musicians play the piano and bass every night. There is also
a drum set, so any guests who are itching to show off his/her
skills are very welcome to do so any time.

The interior of the club
as seen from the piano player's seat (the owner sees to the
needs of the guests from here). The decor is monotone and relaxing
but sophisticated.
We have to warn you, though,
that many of the guests of this club are smokers. We are sorry
for the non-smokers about this, but please bear with us.
Enough stories abound on Jazz
and cigarettes.

Looking
out to the box seats from the bar counter.
It must
be pretty late at night. Someone who is deep in thought makes
a refined and attractive picture.
