Best live-jazz venue in town . It is a cozy , atmospheric setting and this venue is very popular with locals. An absolute perfect way to unwind and enjoy great music .

Austin Chronicle

There's no better way to end a night on the town than by going down to this low-ceilinged, atmospheric basement club to enjoy live jazz and a drink or three.

Such a great place for smooth jazz . There are many tables, but you'd be surprised at how fast they will fill up; so come around 9 to ensure a seat.

Monday nights at the elephant room are incredible. The greatest jazz musicians in Austin join up in a rotating jam session. Not to be missed.

Fun jazz bar - great place to spend a whole evening or just to kick back and relax before hitting up 6th street.

Line gets a little long, about a 15-20 minute wait on Saturday night, but well worth it.

Jeff Hewgley

This is THE hangout for jazz in Austin. Downtown in a dark, dingy basement on Congress. The best talent usually shows on the weekends. Check the website to see who is playing each night.
