An intimate environment

Piccolo 241’s low lighting and cozy, cushioned seating options create an intimate environment, perfect for after work or weekend cocktails.

“There’s not many adult entertainment venues in town, a lot of them are obviously very focused on college students, so it’s a great place for not only hotel guests, but the community to come in and listen to some great music consistently.”

~ Adam Keeshan, Food and Beverage Director at The Hotel at Auburn University

Weekly jazz nights

Piccolo 241 is open seven days a week, three of which are jazz nights. While the jazz lounge hosts seasoned performers from the southeast on Fridays and Saturdays, Thursday nights are improv community nights.

“It’s really about developing young talent and community, so all individuals who want to pursue music—whatever instrument that is—have an opportunity to come on stage and just jam.”

~ Adam Keeshan, Food and Beverage Director at The Hotel at Auburn University

Piccolo 241 Menu

While this small jazz lounge is right next to Arricia Cucina Italiana, the Auburn Hotel’s Italian restaurant, Piccolo 241’s menu is entirely its own. It includes eclectic small bites + an extensive wine list and selection of local and regional craft beers. We recommend trying their charcuterie dish + a berry hibiscus margarita.
