River Street Jazz Cafe

The name undersells the range of music at River Street Jazz Cafe. Established in 1993, this Plains room has welcomed jazz players alongside roots, rock and improvisational bands. Its official history names both Lionel Hampton and Leon Russell; its surviving concert recordings offer another way into the story. Goose's October 2019 visit even supplied a track for Alive and Well. This is a small-room stop with a listening history that reaches beyond the night on the calendar.

Use the Plains address: Cross Valley Center, 667 North River Street, PA 18705. Recordings often label the venue Wilkes-Barre, but that is not a second location. Confirm parking arrangements and an accessible arrival route with the venue at 570-822-2992 before travelling if either is essential; the reviewed official pages do not spell them out.

A current detailed bag policy was not found in the official pages reviewed. Contact the venue at 570-822-2992 about bag size, medical items or storage before attending; do not assume a clear-bag rule or a coat check.

The kitchen serves before and during shows. Follow the individual event's doors, age restrictions and start time rather than treating general weekend hours as a universal schedule. Seating availability and step-free access should be confirmed directly with the venue.
