10PM-2AM, No Cover

For those in-the-know about the spot, there's no need to explain how cool the vibe is...for those that don't know, peep the disclaimer:

Tillman's is a 1970s-style room, set back into its own carved-out recess with sensual lighting. The speakers are strategically placed to optimize the DJ's sounds, setting a comfortable vibe. We pay homage to our event with black-and-white photographs of jazz-era legends with a little food and drink, and a lot of appreciation. Tillman's serves tasty eats. be easy.
