About The Emmet Ray
Emmet Ray is somewhat of a mythical character. Some claim he did not exist, and some know he did. Jazz aficionados may be aware of this little-known gypsy jazz guitarist of the 1930s and 40s. The 1999 film “Sweet and Lowdown,” aimed to shed some light on his life and times.

And so in trying to come up with a name for a whisky bar, the moniker of a myth, musician, and man who lived in perpetual sin seemed more than fitting.
