Jazz'd Tapas Bar
Fine Food & Entertainment in Savannah, GA
Curry's wanted to bring the tapas style of eating, something very new, to Savannah. They knew the location and decor needed to match the deriguer style of Tapas. Both Brian and Julie patiently waited for a unique location to open downtown to launch Jazz'd Tapas Bar. Jazz'd is located in the old Kress Building at the corner of Broughton and Barnard Street in the heart of downtown Savannah. The Kress Building was home to the famed American Icon-the 5 and Dime stores during the 1920s-1950s.
Jazz'd Tapas Bar, located in the basement-beneath clothing retailer the GAP, is far from the look of the 5 and Dimes that once inhabited the building. Jazz'd Tapas Bar is best described as "industrial chic." Yet Jazz'd Tapas Bar continues on in the tradition of locally owned businesses that made 5 and Dimes thriving retailers during their time.
Brian and Julie are proud to continue in the tradition of local Savannah ownership and welcome you to stop by for conversation, music, spirits, and great food!

What are Tapas? Tapas are an integral part of the fabric of Spanish life. Tapas are an age-old tradition. Tapa literally means "a cover" when translated in English. Centuries ago, bar keeps would put a card, or a tapa, a top their customers drinks for protection from pesky gnats. The cover, or card, evolved into a mini plate that spurred the habit of placing a snack for the customer to sample. Typically, a few olives or a piece of cheese was included in your drink.
Every region and city have their own signature tapas and custom in how they offer the "cover." One region's custom is to take what you please from a variety of offerings, generously displayed. Then, simply give your count to the waiter when you pay. Other bars spear their tapas on a "pinco" (light wooden stick); before you depart the bar your toothpicks or "pinchos" are counted to settle with the waiter.
Tapas are traditional appetizers, or mini versions of typical main course dishes. Eating tapas-style means you are free from modern rules of eating: start with an appetizer, followed by the main dish, then finishing off with a dessert. Instead, you may select many tapas with different ethnic flavors and eat leisurely while enjoying the atmosphere. Eating tapas styler is all about a communal experience, sharing from a selection of dishes. Spaniards visit a tapas bar to partake of more than just food. The tapas bar is a place of conversation, where friend meet to share their lives & food.
The Spaniards style of relaxed dining is gaining popularity in the states. With their crossing of the ocean, tapas evolved into the global tapas, incorporating tastes from all over the world. The global tapas represent the idea of eating without rules, ordering when you want, and perhaps ordering more then once. Have you ever gone into a restaurant and 3 to 4 of the dishes sounded so appealing. You really eant to try all 4 of them. Yet, traditional restaurant portions keep you from doing that. Wanting to try a selection of different foods is what tapas is all about. With tapas, you are sampling as many foods as you like, rather then have to choose one dish. You can share your selection with friends and family; everyone gets to sample the offering. Tapas is all about being adventurous with your selections and enjoying the dining experience at your own pace.
