BLU Jazz+

This jazz club will B Low U away, BLU as Tony would say with its great atmosphere and music. Just sit back and relax to the music. The service is very attentive and friendly. The drinks are moderately priced. Over all a great night out.

I love this place. I've been searching for that classic jazz ambiance for so long and I finally found it here. The drinks are nice and there's a small food menu, nothing for vegans though except the fries I believe. However, that's not the reason to come right? Lol. The bands that play here are all over the place when it comes to the different sub genres of jazz, so I'd definitely do a little research before coming if you're picky or seeking a certain something. The parking is the only annoying thing.

Very very cool authentic jazz club in Akron. Worth traveling to from neighboring cities/regions. Cocktails, music and service were all top notch. Just don't stay at the hotel across the street unless you want to be treated like a second rate citizen.I will definitely be back.

Husband and I visited this club to watch a jazz band. The woman at the check in was extremely friendly and helpful with getting a table ready for our large party (there were 6 of us). We arrived at 7:20; band started at 8. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived but really filled up the last 20 min before the music started. Our table was right next to the dance floor and we had a spectacular view of the band! The drinks were very strong too, making the price worth it. Food was amazing....we recommend the muffalata and the Mediterranean sampler. Our waiter was super friendly as well. This is such a fun club; we had a blast and will certainly be back! I would recommend getting there 30 min in advance on the weekend. The second time we visited it was a Thursday. We didn't need to arrive too early because it was not that busy. I would highly recommend the flavorful and filling veggie skewers with dirty rice instead of white (if you're not a vegetarian). The food is excellent but drinks a bit pricey. Great place to dance. Don't be intimidated by the amazing dancers who frequent here. My hubs and I are just learning to salsa and even though we screwed up a few turns, no one cared and we still had a good time!

Consistently rated as one of the top Jazz Clubs in the country and there is good reason why. DO NOT SLEEP ON BLU JAZZ. The atmosphere is upwardly casual with that laid back jazz feel. Top notch musicians from across the county play here along with our own "world famous" local musicians like Theron Brown, Jackie Warren and Dan Wilson(just to name a few). And, the grub from Blu Plate is pretty darn good also. The full bar, with a nice wine list and cocktails is always a hit. The only thing is the downtown parking situation. However, for only $5 valet you are good to go.The sound system is very nice and the cozy space give the feel of the artists playing just for you. Way to go BluJazz!

This Jazz club used to be FAB! Great food, great artists. COVID came and of course it took a toll. They don't book out gigs months at a time now. Hard to plan far ahead to see ashowandstay downtown. I hope it gets better.

Attention for jazz lovers- a place that you can't skip! One of my favorite spots in Akron! You can come here after the dinner, or you can come to the upstairs restaurant to dine and after walk downstairs to listen jazz or you can come straight to the jazz place and have small entrees and appetizers/salads. Tom, the owner, always makes sure to invite interesting and popular jazz musicians/bands. I come here at least 1-2 times per month! I love jazz and I'm happy that we have this lounge in the neighborhood. Definitely visit!By the way, check out their website to know about musicians or bands schedule or who plays that night.

Went to hear some local jazz talent and was very impressed with Ava Preston and her band. After the first set, locals from nearby colleges were invited to join in and they did. Pleasurable experience and will return.Not much to offer for food, got the double hamburger which was very good and messy. Did not have anything else, like fries, but was very filling. The cocktails were some of the best I've ever had. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive.

The venue and atmosphere downstairs is perfect for live jazz. The staff were friendly and the drinks were great. Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

Wow! The atmosphere is on point! Great jazz and blu's experience. We will definitely be back.
