We were here for a few days and thought we'd end our trip with an evening of Jazz. After a quick search, Andy's came highly rated and it didn't dissapoint. There was a $10 cover charge and we had a table reservation. We were seated immediately and right next to the stage. The music was great, just a jam session... More

Great music and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We seat at the tables around the bar and had dessert while listening to music. The chocolate cake was good and the tiramisu was just okay according to my friend. Patrons could be noisy during the music which was distracting and the long breaks that the band took (at least 30 minutes) was... More

My recommendation for future visitors and jazz lovers is to just go for the music, not to eat dinner there. The happiest people we saw were at the bar. Having paid their $5.00 cover charge they were only obligated to pay for their two drink minimum ($5.00 for each draft beer). We went to an early performance and within an... More

The music was amazing...I could listen to live Jazz every night. There is a $10 cover charge so it's best to go there for a longer period of time. I highly recommend getting reservations so you can get a table. There are usually quite a few on OpenTable. I was skeptical about the food given the great reviews on music... More

Went for an early (530pm) show last week. We reached around 5.15 and there were lots of empty bar stools and tables. Cover was 10/person and we were told that we would be only seated if we wanted dinner WITH a 2 hour window to finish it and get out. Anyways-sat at the bar-which is not to bad. Drinks are... More

Reading the other reviews made me excited to try this jazz club. I'm a huge fan of jazz and the club was just down the street from our hotel. We already had dinner and was going to Andy's for drinks and music. First, I was not happy with the $15 cover charge but thought of it as a charge for... More

We rarely get to visit Chicago, and get time for Jazz too! Andy is a nice size club, good service and offers food too. We did not eat here, but food looked and smelled great! We got here early and had a great table up front. Got to see 2 sets. one from 7-9 and one after 9 pm. They... More

Caught the first two sets of Bobby Lewis last Saturday. The music was great, and despite the place being packed, had some pretty efficient bartenders. We were disappointed that we could only get a table if we were having a full dinner (we came to Andy's after dinner), but on a packed weekend I can understand that policy.

The food here is great, but the music was wonderful. We sat right by the stage (arrived about 20 minutes prior to showtime) with reservations. Not cheap. Bring cash for the cover.
