A dark, narrow jazz bar that feels like it hasn’t changed since the ‘90s—and that’s a good thing. 9 Maple is serious about two things: jazz and martinis. The bar is lined with an encyclopedic selection of spirits, and the bartenders make no-nonsense drinks with precision. Live jazz echoes through the intimate space on weekends, and regulars know to show up early if they want a seat. It’s the kind of spot where conversations are kept low, the lighting is forgiving, and the music does the talking.
