Parker Jazz Club

This place is a true gem!!! Austin severely lacks true live jazz music venues! Thank goodness for this place!Food (bar food), service and ambience were all worthy of 5 stars!Quick, delicious pizza made in house was excellent. Our server was top notch and the ambience was low lit, lovely and very comfortable. There's not a bad seat in the house. We also really appreciated that the level of the sound was not over powering like many places. The talent was fantastic too!We cannot wait to return here...most likely on a regular basis!!!

If I could give this place a 10, I would.Sound wise, it's perfect - not too loud, but just loud enough. That's hard to do in a music venue!Ambiance is dark and sexy but clean and not gross, which is hard to do downtown.Stage lighting is on point.Drinks are strong and generous in their pour -- all were tasty! Had a few French 75's, an old fashioned, and red wine. Reservations are available for those who are type A like me and the tables are nice and romantic. I wanted to be by friends and we booked two low tables and those worked wonderful!And the music - what fun! I loved it. A great set from very talented musicians. They are so good!!!!!!!Overall it was such a great time and I wish I had found this gem earlier. GO! You won't regret it!!!!

I can't believe I've been here since '99 and I've never visited the Parker Jazz Club. This is a wonderful intimate jazz/ live music club with a NY city speakeasy vibe. There is not a bad seat in the house and service is very attentive before and during the show. We attended their New Orleans jazz night and it was a blast. The band was tight and if you closed your eyes you would have thought you were in NOLA.One nit the tables/seating are really tight so if you will be interacting with your neighbors. We had a good time interacting with our neighbors.We can't wait to return!

I really enjoyed my experience at Parker Jazz Club. I wasn't sure what to expect but the show flowed nicely and the service was top notch. A good thing to note is that there aren't any bad seats in the venue so you can't go wrong when picking your seats out. The show itself went by fairly quickly but it was so good and filled with so much talent. This isn't my favorite jazz bar in Austin but it is in my top 3 and I would recommend people to visit if you love Jazz.

This was our first time at a jazz club, and it was such a great experience. We were greeted right away by Chloe, who welcomed us with a smile and a lot of patience. She made sure we were accommodated and introduced us to our bartender (I'm sorry, I forgot her name). The bartender was incredibly attentive, fast, and made some amazing drinks. I'm picky about my dirty martinis, but she nailed it--something not many bartenders can do.We also tried the Margherita pizza, and I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it was.The jazz set lasted 90 minutes, and we really enjoyed it. Since it was our first jazz experience, I don't have anything to compare it to, but those 90 minutes flew by, and the main vocalist had a fantastic voice. We'll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend making a reservation in advance.

I went to Parker Jazz Club with a friend and had the best time. I can't believe I had never heard of it before and will certainly be back. It's dimly lit, the music is fantastic and drinks strong. Most people dress up to go there so the overall vibes match the music. 10/10 recommend!

This is everything I think of about when I think of a really classy jazz club. It's dark, it's moody, it's romantic, and it's understated elegance. What a perfect place for jazz. Their cocktail, spirit and wine list is long and impressive too. We were in town for only a few nights, so Sunday was the only option. Although the high school jazz band played phenomenal, I would have preferred to see a professional act. Maybe next time, because my wife and I would definitely return. Service was excellent too. The servers were expert in taking care of patrons without being in the way.

Not to sound like the leading lady of La La Land, but this place made me realize I love jazz. My husband and I came here on a whim about a year ago and we were blown away; I knew within the first 5 mins that I was going to be back. There is something so enchanting and intimate about Parker Jazz, it makes you feel like you could be watching a jazz set in classic Hollywood in the 1950s, and at the same time makes you appreciate how underrated jazz is in the modern age. The talent on stage is unmistakable, but beyond that, owner and leading man Kris Kimura is so enthusiastic and charming that his love for the music becomes contagious! We've been here about 8 times in the last year now, and it's become one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite, place to spend a Saturday night. We've also brought guests here, both friends in their 20s and our older parents, and this place is always well loved. I've developed such an appreciation for this club and the talented performers we've seen here. Thank you to Kris Kimura and his talented wife Jennifer for opening this place, and providing us with incredible entertainment every time we've visited!

I absolutely love Parker Jazz Club. The experience is classic and intimate. I love how the entrance is down the stairs off the street, tucked away. After checking in with the host, they'll personally walk you to your table. The drinks were some of the best I've had in downtown Austin - we had the dirty martini and espresso martini. The live music was phenomenal. We even noticed the bar tenders shaking drinks to the beat of the music to not distract from the artists. It's the little things that make this place great. Highly recommend!

This place was beautiful. A real nice grown and sexy, chill vibe. Atmosphere was amazing. Staff very friendly. Music on point. And food and drinks absolutely delicious. Enjoyed every minute I was there. Visiting from Charlotte on vacation, glad I made time to check them out. They didn't disappoint.
