This restaurant offers very affordable drinks\, special meals on occasion\, but most importantly some truly world-class jazz. Take a listen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoore’s Lounge (originally Bill and Ruth’s) has been a fixture in a working-class section of Jersey City for over 51 years. Mrs. Ruth (Moore)\, one of the original owners\, has made the space much more than a bar\, but a community space. Generations of residents congregate over drinks to celebrate the creative talents in their community. Moore’s Lounge in Jersey City has become a place where the most diverse individuals come together. \n\n\n\nIt’s been some challenging times\, but Mrs. Ruth\, now 85 years strong\, has been a bedrock in a fast-changing world. A recent interview stated\, “In a challenging area where Moore’s is the only one left of 11 taverns that existed around it when they started out\, Moore’s has helped keep a few lights on.” \n\n\n\nSunday “MEET THE ARTIST” Series \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs Winard’s page states: “Every Sunday I bring together established\, world-renowned and extraordinary artists with young\, emerging talents\, in a “Jazz Clinic” type of setting\, performing for a local audience wishful to learn and exchange knowledge about the context in which Jazz music has emerged and is played today.  \n\n\n\nFriday “FISH FRY” Jam Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTypical jam on Jun. 2\, 2014 led by Winard Harper. It has 9\,177 views: \n\n\n\nWith the help of Winard Harper\, a legendary jazz drummer\, Moore’s has become a destination for jazz musicians\, and jazz enthusiasts from North East Jersey and beyond.  Sept 2015 – Drummer Winard Harper – Soon as you enter the lounge\, you know there’s a serious drummer playing. Winard Harper is a worldwide renowned Jazz Musician\, educator and band leader. Winard stated in a brief conversation\, he wants to bring Jazz Jams of high quality back to Jersey City in places like Moore’s Lounge. He’s on a mission so it will happen. \n\n\n\nToday\, Moore’s Lounge functions as a jazz temple for aspiring young jazz musicians and the many professionals that come to play and support. After being a fixture in Jersey City for over 50 years\, the future of Moore’s is up in the air. “Moore’s Jazz” looks at what is at stake for a community if it loses one of its cultural pillars to gentrification and to a pandemic.” \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFounder of Jammin in the Loft Series Produced by Gregory Burrus Productions \n\n\n\nExperience your favorite bands up close and personal in SOPAC’s new Jammin’ in the Loft series.  Curated by Gregory Burrus Productions\, this series brings talented local bands that are taking the local music scene by force to the next level with an intimate and energetic experience in The Loft at SOPAC! Come experience the thrill of seeing these talented local musicians perform up close and personal\, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd of friends\, fans\, and fellow musicians. \n\n\n\nI am very excited to bring the this brand new series to the beautiful SOPAC Loft\, I will be heading up this new series that will bring local and very talent bands to the SOPAC loft from the parks and streets of the local communities. \n\n\n\nThese bands are serious about performing\, are making huge waves on the local scene and continually selling out local venues.
