Premier jazz club in DC although has some competition. Worth checking website for discounts on day of performances. Menu is fun to read and will not turn you off or distract you from the music. For a better view, get there a bit early for seats in the raised bar area. More

Even if you don't know the artist, give it a chance. The atmosphere can't be beat! Very intimate setting with meals and bar. I suggest getting there early if there are multiple shows that night, they are very accomadating and helpful in choosing seats. The food was suprising as I expected it to be typical "bar" style food. They offer... More

I recently visited Blue's Alley to see Kindred and really enjoyed myself. The architect is nice the servers could be a little more pleasant but I love the embiance. I have seen Roy Ayers, George Duke and several others as well. More

The food is ok and it can be a pricey night but the atmosphere is awesome . A intimate place to listen to live music. More

Blues Alley is a tiny supper club smack dab in the middle of an alley in Georgetown that people have been going to for decades.

They got us a front seat at the last moment, and our waiteress was nice and helpful. But, we ordered only two dishes and a glass of whine, and the price was 44 dollars, which is a little... More

Here's my review in a nutshell......crowd too big, tables too small, terrible accoustics, didn't eat due to previous reviews(thank goodness) food looked awful. Come on folks....let's be real. This place needs a major renovation. How about better seating for EVERYONE, better food, make a closed alcove for the hostess and late coming guests so they can be seated discreetly and... More

I would never see another event here. We went to see Stanley Jordan the last weekend in March. He was great. I had seen him before in Camden, New Jersey. The food was over priced and tasted horrible. We had the stuffed shrimp and the crab cakes. The best thing on the plate was the red beans and rice. The... More
