JACKSON HALL

Situated in the heart of The District, Jackson Hall offers visitors the ambiance of a New Orleans jazz club.

The venue presents a blend of live entertainment coupled with delicious food and exotic cocktails.  Be entertained by a selection of DJs and a live band every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night, as barmen perform impromptu flair shows while mixing your cocktails.

But no visit to Jackson Hall is complete without ordering one of their colourful and delightfully wicked cocktails.  Well known favourites such as Pancake shooters and Strawberry Daquiri and Margarita cocktails are all available, as are less well known drinks such as Woo Woo, a shaken mix of triple distilled vodka blended with peach schnapps and cranberry juice.  In total, Jackson Hall offers a selection of 16 shooters, 9 martinis and 11 cocktails, in addition to the wine menu and dom pedros.  Teetotallers have not been overlooked either, and can choose from one of two non-alcoholic cocktails.
