5:30 PM Show: Early Evening Jazz & Blues
The first live performance kicks off at 5:30 PM. To enjoy this show, please note a cover charge of $10 plus tax per person is automatically applied to your bill. For the best seats, we recommend arriving 15 to 30 minutes early, as seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re not staying for the later show, bills are settled around 7:30 PM. This early evening performance is a fantastic way to start your night with some top-notch jazz or blues at The Rex Queen Street.
8:30 PM Show: The Nighttime Headliner
For the later show, doors open at 8:00 PM, with the main performance starting at 8:30 PM. To guarantee your spot for these popular shows, especially at The Rex Queen Street, it’s highly recommended to purchase tickets in advance online. Pre-booked tickets ensure you won’t miss out, as door tickets are only available if there are any remaining after pre-sales. This later show features assigned seating and full dinner service, making it a complete night out.
