Churchill's atmosphere is very laid back and being an English Pub, one can get Bass Ale, Guiness, Fish'n'chips, Shepherd's Pie and other goodies including Indian Curry.
And if you want a break from the Jazz or the Back Patio, there is always the "locals" side of the bar- with pool tables, and lots of animated conversation!
Pay us a visit! Remember we are here every Mondaynight 9:00pm to 2:30am.
Admission is currently a modest $5 For all we have to offer, you can't beat that!

A lot of Churchill's younger clientèle are hearing live jazz for the first time and are often pleasantly surprised-if not downright enthusiastic. And the music is not so loud that you can't carry on a conversation!

The Symphony of Life~A new day begins to function in harmony Smoothly guiding the melody of events that reaches its crescendo! Leaving a palette of effervescent colors as residue. Have a Lovely rest of the week! XX~
A new day begins with the rising of the sun, As its bright rays shine forth In vibrant bursts of light And illuminate over the world.
As the world begins to wake, Everything begins to function in harmony, With a steady rhythm and even pitch Smoothly guiding the melody of events That makes a symphony of life.
As the day progresses, This symphony takes on new dimensions and tones, And is thereby infused with new meaning.
At some point the tune reaches its crescendo, Playing loudly and vivaciously for all to take part In the melodious song.
The day ends with the setting of the sun, As it sinks in to the horizon, Leaving a palette of effervescent colors as residue.
All the while the melody begins to die down, Sinking its tone to a quiet stillness which Ultimately leads way to the song of the very next day.
what's up! Hey we're gonna be playing @ O'malleys Margate, FL next Friday Oct 2nd and would love for you to come out and hang with us. We have a nice set prepared for friday so it should be fun.
Here's the address, really hope you can make it :D
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
