Ruggy said there is one place with near acoustic perfection in San Diego, Anthology in Little Italy. “The best sound in San Diego” he said.

The room is meant to transform you into another time and place–an “old-school” Chicago jazz hall.

Co-owner and Chicago native Marsha Berkson said “my husband has always dreamed of opening a music venue. I thought he was opening a dive bar and this is what I got.”

“From the minute you walk into this venue, your jaw drops, you are taken into a different place” she continued.

The room was designed with sound in mind, and Berkson said 98 percent of views have perfect sight lines.

The first few floors are set for dinner and music. The top floor is general admission to listen to the music.

Still, the venue feels intimate. “We’ve had hundreds of Grammy Award winning artists and they say this is one of the few places like this in the world…We’re very proud that San Diego has this very unique spot what artists consider in the world.”

Every Tuesday night, the house band plays jazz and R&B.

On the third Wednesday of every month, local favorite Charles McPherson plays saxophone.

Other than that, the artists rotate.

In June, Anthology plans on debuting a lounge menu where everything is under $10
