Melody Tavern Changes its Tune

Michel Daley and Jordan Cappolla‘s new space — a true New Orleans-style jazz and blues lounge — celebrated the granting of its live music license by welcoming such local VIPs as ABC 7 anchor Leon Harris and WPGC’s Sunni In The City (left with Jasmine McGee) to toast and taste in Crystal City’s newest live music eatery Friday night.

A music-themed resto-lounge, Melody Tavern (3650 S. Glebe Road, Suite 170, Arlington, VA) officially opened its doors for live music with a grand opening celebration featuring a performance by local jazz guru Lena Seikaly.

“We think of ourselves as a ‘hidden jewel,’”explained Daley. “We are definitely a destination… There is no other venue quite like us in this area.”

Hear local live jazz and blues acts Crystal (City) clear.
