Great names, Small Venue, OK atmosphere  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I enjoy all the great acts Jazz Alley is able to attract. I also really appreciate how small and intimate the place is. However, it has two downsides - one is that the atmosphere is a little snooty. The other is that drinks are expensive.

PROS: great names, small venue
CONS: snooty atmosphere, expensive drinks

Smooth Cool and Yummy  5 Star Rating - World class

I saw Madeline Peyroux my first time at Jazz Alley and I was entralled. Not only was her performance amazing, but the venue is great. Intimate without being super crowded. And the food is delicious, albeit being somewhat pricey.
The acosutics are great and there are speakers everywhere you turn.

WORST FOOD EVER!!! BUT SHOW WAS GREAT. 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Went to see Amel Larrieux. The performance was phenomenal! Beautiful performer, great voice, and wonderful band. As far as the restaurant, poor service, small and very light drinks, and the worst food I've had at any restaurant. I would have been more satisfied with fast food. For the price of the meals and the ambiance of the place, the food should be on such a higher level than it is. I would suggest this place for the shows, but not for the food. Go out somewhere half the price and twice the quality before watching a show.

Pros: Great atmosphere. Live music.
Cons: Poor service. Poor quality food.

Wicked show, abysmal food 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

Went to the Maceo Parker show a few nights ago, it was my first Jazz Alley experience. I knew the show would be amazing (and it was), but I was brutally surprised by the awful food - expensive and food-court quality. Clearly the owners are jazz-lovers, not restaurateurs. Imagine what they could do with some easy changes to the kitchen and the dining!

Hands down, best jazz club in the northwest! 5 Star Rating - World class

As soon as you walk down the stairs, those marvelous hosts are there to greet and make you feel welcome and and at home. We normally sit at the bar but the appetizers are to die for! We have yet to come to Jazz Alley for dinner and are eagerly anticipating seeing The Manhattan Transfer there next weekend! I would highly recommend this classy club to any and all!!

Pros: Great atmosphere and great jazz and world music
Cons: No dance floor

best jazz anywhere!!!! Atmosphere A+++ 5 Star Rating - World class

Been there 5 times and have seen the biggest names in jazz in the world. Performers often have cds for sale that they are more than happy to sign for you. Every seat in the house is great, and everytime I go I hate to leave. If jazz is your thing then this is the place for you!!!

Pros: Atomsphere, artists, ambience, beautiful people,good wine list
Cons: could use a little more parking, bigger menu
