Few Washington nightlife places have enjoyed the notoriety of Georgetown’s Blues Alley. Since it opened in 1965, Blues Alley has touted itself as “DC’s Best Jazz Supper Club .” -- Green Guide Editor

Rebecca Veader

Try and see if Carlton is working! Best server Ever! It was me and my husbands anniversary and he told the artist and we got a shout. Ohh by the way rachelle Farrell is the BOMB! 9-25-11! Best nite!

Ama Brown

Our service was very, very slow, but the show was amazing! For the price ($35 ticket, $3.50 service fee, $12 table minimum and $10 to park nearby) it was well worth it!

AmateurConcierge

Intimate live venue to catch jazz over a drink. Seems like it’s easy to just walk in. Pretty solid bookings

Rob Campbell

Food = OK (I had an app, fried shrimp ). Drinks = Small (performing artist special, thought it would be the Stacy Brooks drink but I was wrong). Atmosphere = intimate . Stacy Brooks Band rocked.

Johnika D

Cozy venue. Came for Syleena Johnson. Stay away from the food or use your $12 food min wisely. I sent the Spinach Dip back--soupy. The Gumbo was edible. I'll grab something to eat on my way home.

Love this place! Intimate setting with great artists and food!

Ed Estes

Shows normally are at 8 and 10 PM. The doors open an hour before for dinner at the 8PM show. Come early for the 10 PM show because a queuing line begins before the late show. Read more

Jorge Sánchez

Great music and mood! The food is really terrible, try to have something to eat before you arrive.

David Matthew Gaüer

This place is great! Not about the food though... experience good artist in a relaxed intimate environment!

Håkan F

Many memories from the time John Bunyan was running the club ????

Michael Jefferson

Jazz on a Saturday night... While Chloé has a birthday celebration night cap with 8 of her schoolmates at the Embassy Suites!

Donna Suber

Go early to get a table close to the stage.

Gail Stewart

Beloved blues singer Eva Cassidy used to play here...the waitresses here knew her and shared stories...damn near makes me cry...she was taken so young

Josh B

Don't go showing up early or anything. If you're checking out the late set, your ass gets to sit outside in the cold until just before 10.

AMI

Hope you're all going to be checking-in to the Robert Glasper Trio's performance on October 10th at 8 & 10pm! Give us a shout if you are (@AMIagency)!

lisa

Great artist ,good food romantic cozy place

George DeShields

For the premier acts get there 30 minutes before showtime. You may wait but you get your choice of seat.

Miguel "Chapi D." Oyola Jr.

Had the salmon last week, amazing. Had some crab cake with cheese sent it back, didn't have any crab sent it back. Do not order, foul.

Cheryl Gorham
