ALL THAT JAZZ



What better way to enjoy the final two nights (today and Saturday from 7 to 11 p.m.) of the Brea Jazz Festival than a visit to one of the popular eateries in the heart of the festival on West Birch Street in downtown Brea. The open-air concert features Cal State Fullerton's award-winning Jazz Ensemble on tonight; and Orange County’s original Derek Bordeaux on Saturday.

Gaucho Grill celebrates the Jazz Festival by preparing a special Kansas City corn-fed Angus beef rib on an outside grill. The hearty rib ($15) easily serves two. Gaucho Grill offers Argentinean specialties and steaks. 210 W. Birch St in Brea. 714.990.9140. www.gauchogrillebrea.com.

The Market City Caffe specializes in Italian cuisine and offers outdoor dining. For the Jazz Festival, you can have a special three-course dinner that includes a homemade ravioli appetizer, salad, and choice of entrée: pancetta pappardelle, red snapper almondine or charbroiled top sirloin ($29.95). 110 W. Birch St. in Brea. 714.529.7005.

Bar 330, a hot spot for dancing, live music, pool and karaoke, serves dinner on the patio as well as in the dining area. After 9 p.m. there’s a $5 cover charge, and after 10 p.m. there’s a $10 cover charge. Billiard tables rent by the hour for $16. 330 W. Birch St. in Brea. 714.256.9986. www.bar330.com.
