    One of my favourite Chicago venues. Great drinks, great food and outstanding musical talent. I visited on a quiet Sunday eve after a late Bears game and enjoyed a wonderfully intimate experience in the hands of Manny, Mike and Juan. Tye watched over the tables very well, ensuring everyone had exactly what they needed. Do visit at least once while you are in town!!

    In town for my birthday. Missed our flight to Cancun. We were winging it. Made reservations here and it was awesome. Great band, food and very nice staff. We will return.

    The music was spectacular-vibrant, energetic and downright jazzy!! The service and food absolutely exceeded our expectations. We started with the artichoke dip served piping hot. I had the Cajun prawn risotto - wow! Tasty and flavourful with a hint of heat again served piping hot. My spouse had the steak natchos and said they were awesome too. Drink specials brought us $2 beer and a $4 shanty which cannot be beat! All around a great time. Highly recommend.

    I mean, where else can you get a jazz show with dinner every night? The doorman was really cool and explained everything about our experience. We were able to get a nice table right at the front, by the band. Unfortunately, my wife didn't like her drink, but drank it anyway. The food though, was quite tasty. The band playing that night was fantastic. Docked a star because our server wasn't the greatest. Never refilled out waters, didn't come back after bringing us our food, etc. Overall a great experience and it wouldn't deter us from coming back

    Being from Chicago, it’s easy to take for granted what my hometown has to offer. There are many places authentically “Chicago” whether you live or visit here, and Andy’s is definitely a Windy City institution. The Christopher Lucas Wilson Trio was the featured band for the last jazz set, and they were superb. Equally superb was the quality and flavor of Andy’s wonderful food and great cocktails. There’s a vibe here like nowhere else. The staff does a swell job keeping things moving with attentive service. For a good time…no place like Andy’s!

    This is our fourth time at Andy’s and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The set was a very special one with a large group of HS Jazz bands in the audience (early dinner). Superb food (Caribbean Salmon and Risotto). Always a great time here (early or late set). #chicagojazzbar

    You should get a reservation to have an official table. $15 entry fee at the door. This spot is so lively and the musicians are incredible. Each show runs about an hour and 15 min with a break in between. They do a good job of staggering guests so you can enjoy an entire set list. The food is decent and the drinks are good but the real focus is on the entertainment. Can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town.

    What a great experience. Our table was right in front of the stage. Food was much better than I expected and even better than Signature Room... The jazz band was incredible and the entire family enjoyed the night. Salmon was cooked just right and so was th steak. Drinks were good, too! Service was fast and friendly. I would come back in a heartbeat.

    First time jazz club listeners arrived at our reservation time about 30 minutes before the show. We were seated promptly and got our drink orders taken. Ordered a couple of appetizers to nibble on. I appreciated the reminder at the beginning to keep quiet during the performance. Unfortunately there were moments where the voices were too loud especially during a solo! The music was a delight but I hope staff can be a little more strict with enforcing the listening room etiquette even if there are many tourists/first timers.

    We had a great time at Andy’s, but a few things could had been better. First, don’t believe in reviews that say you have to be absolutely quiet during the show. Sure, they say in the beginning that they have a silent policy, but I think it’s just to avoid loud people to be yelling and ruining the show. I had dinner and talked to my husband the entire time, other tables were doing the same. There’s no problem as long as you’re not yelling. The food is fantastic, we both loved our dishes. I just didn’t like the rush. We had reservations for 8:15. We ordered an app and they told was to also order the main dishes because it was the last call from the kitchen. I didn’t like to be so rushed. Same for drinks, last call was so fast that I couldn’t order a second one. I thought it was too early for that. The service was good and fast though. The show was good and very entertaining.

    Had an absolutely fantastic time listening to The Jeremiah Review. The food and drinks were amazing too! I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Chicago to put this on your list of places to go.

    I had a great night here with my mother-in-law in May 2022. We decided to do something special in Chicago for Mother's Day week and Andy's Jazz Club & Restaurant served its purpose. The drummer was really good. I bet he can play perfectly while he is sleeping. Price is not cheap but it was worth it. I liked my food. It was tasty and right amount. Check out my video if you wonder how amazingly ANDY BROWN QUARTET played in May 08, 2022 at Andy's Jazz Club & Restaurant.

    Such a nice jazz venue that requests for guests to remain quiet during the live show. One can actually hear the fine musicians make great music and not just try and outplay the audience noise. Standard and bar seating are choices on OpenTable, reservation strongly recommended. Love the option to dine or just have drinks while listening to live jazz, mandatory $15 pp seems like a good deal.

    We had an amazing time at Andy's Jazz Club! The band was really good and the food and drinks were superb! My meal was the salmon (ridiculously good). Such a great night with really good service. Thank you!

    Andy's Jazz Club & Restaurant is one of the BEST spots in CHICAGO! My sister had her 40th birthday party there and it was AMAZING! The food was delicious, the waiters and staff were AMAZING! It's just an already awesome place. The energy in the building is so relaxing and therapeutic you'll hate you have to leave when the time comes. I'm a professional photographer and they allowed me to take pictures in which I've shared here. The ambiance is perfect! 5 Stars 🌟 from me!

    On a recent trip to Chicago, me and my family decided to check out Andy's Jazz Club as it was recommended by the concierge at our hotel. When we got there, the ambiance and atmosphere was amazing. They really take pride in keeping the club looking immaculate. Our waiter was amazing with customer service and being patient with us. The downsize was the food and I that's why I give 3 stars because it was relatively decent but if I were to go back then I wouldn't order food because it's a waste of money. I had the New York Strip and it wasn't cooked to order and it bland. My wife had the Andy's Lounge Burger and she said it tasted like a burger you get from hotel room service. Meh! Obviously, the best part of the evening was the music and that was the real reason why we went. Even after we finished our meal we still stayed entertained by the band. Overall, leave the food alone and listen to the jazz.

    Visited twice and both were really good. Especially on my second visit, I was surprised by the perfect performance of the musicians. I highly recommend this place, especially if you are traveling to Chicago. And be sure to make a reservation in advance.

    A place for Crazy jazz fans only. Entrance fee and cash only. That is, I don’t even have the opportunity to just look into the hall and understand: I like it or not, until I cry. Table reservation for 2 hours. Then pay again or leave. Portions of food and drinks are as small as possible, and prices are high. I have never seen such a greedy establishment in all of America. I don’t understand why this place is listed in tourist guides. Most boring. I couldn't even listen to the end. I left. Choose anything but this place for your evening and you won't regret not going 100%. I give 2 stars and not one only because nothing related to COVID-19 is required here.

    Andy's Jazz Club, located in downtown Chicago, is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic jazz music experience. This venue truly encapsulates the essence of what Chicago is all about. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will definitely be returning. The live jazz performances were phenomenal, transporting me to another world with their soulful melodies. The food and drinks provided at Andy's were top-notch, complementing the ambiance perfectly. Every bite and sip added to the overall enjoyment, making me feel like I was truly having a fabulous time in Chicago.

    This jazz bar is simply the best in town. Checking show times on their website and making a reservation through OpenTable for a $15 admission fee is absolutely worth it. The staff is friendly and professional, and the food and drink options are satisfying. The interior design and vibrant ambiance create an amazing atmosphere. If you love jazz, this is a must-visit place in Chicago. Immerse yourself in the world of jazz bliss and let the mesmerizing live performances transport you to a different era.

    Had an amazing time at Andy’s jazz club on Saturday! Every seat offers a great view, and the dinner was fantastic. I tried their gluten-free pasta, while our friends enjoyed the braised beef and salad. The lava dessert was a hit! Service was outstanding. Definitely a top spot – would highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Everything was perfect. Dope experience. Just a reminder, after you reserve on open table, there is another $15 cover charge to enter..

  • 5/5 Fernando B. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing place to enjoy a Jazz night. You have to pay a ticket at the entrance to watch the show. Good food and drinks.

  • 5/5 Drew A. 4 months ago on Google
    It was our first time in a jazz club...everything you'd imagine a jazz club to be, Andy's is! It has an intimate vibe but not cramped. The prior day, we reserved a table via Open Table for 15 minutes prior to the start of the first session...good call!...and asked via a text in our reservation, if there was a cancellation, if they could switch our reservation from a high top to a standard table nearer the stage...and they did! We had excellent seats...though really, not a bad seat in the house. We were one of the first tables seated. The waiter quickly came to our table and took our orders. The music was spectacular! We felt like we were experiencing the REAL Chicago jazz scene as it was meant to be experienced. The food was good and appropriately priced...I think I even wanna try my hand at home with the Cajun shrimp and risotto. This evening was the crowning touch to our visit to Chicago. Having never experienced this but thoroughly enjoying it, I'm now going to search out such 'scenes' in our hometown. Thanks, Andy's!

    A relaxed amazing Jazz show case. A place for all who like live music. The food was fresh, tasted great and was enjoyable. Drinks are poured very well. The entertainment is center and well worth the ticket cost.

  • 3/5 Cynthia J. R. 5 months ago on Google
    Thought the place was average. The food was unremarkable and the service was fine. I got the lasagna and felt like it was more ricotta than anything else. The performance was good because the bassist was phenomenal! I’d be curious if it would be better if I had seen another band. Overall I think if you’re not picky, go for this spot. But I think there are better places.

    Absolutely loved our visit. We celebrated our Anniversary all day together. Ended the night with some amazing food, attentive service and great music. Highly recommend! Cuddle up with your significant other and enjoy this place! We had a great evening and it ended our busy day perfectly! Thank you to the staff!

  • 5/5 Tammy O. 1 year ago on Google
    Special night for a jazz fan, booked a high top on-line, had a view of most the stage. Good music, Andy is playing on stage. You can probably check in a little early to order dinner, though service is very quick to close you out by the next show or within 1.5 hours. Good classic Italian food choices and good local beers. Accessible restrooms.

  • 5/5 Caterina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic jazz with a lovely dinner, a rare experience to dine while enjoying quality jazz!! We booked online for a high bar table for a Thursday night show, we were close to the musicians so it was great. Service is very quick so you can time to eat at the same time the music starts. We were there for about 1 .5 hour, then you have to leave before the next show starts, seems to be how these jazz places work in Chicago.

  • 3/5 T R. 1 year ago on Google
    The music here was amazing. You can tell these artists are serious about their craft and its demonstrated through their artistry and expressions throughout the performance. Food was decent (sorry I didn't get better food pics.. was being greedy lol). Waiter was good. Front door woman a bit rude but other than that, I would return.

    Celebrated my Sweet Spots 40th Birthday here with friends. Enjoyed the music, food, and drinks. It was our 1st time visiting and we'll be back.☺
