Caroline's Jazz Club

We loved our first experience at Caroline's Jazz Club! We had never been before and knew it was a venue that filled up, so we planned to get there right when the door opened. I read on their facebook page that you can call to make a reservation. We left a voicemail with our name and number of people in our party and when we arrived, Caroline had a table ready for us. There was a $12 cover at the door and they do not have food, but allow you to bring your own food in. Larry, who was working the door, gave us chocolates for his birthday! The entire staff was SO KIND.The drink prices were not on the menu but glasses of wine were $8, an old fashioned was $12, and a French 75 was $10, so overall very affordable. It was a packed house on a Saturday night. The group closer to the stage was quieter and listening and the bar crowd was a little louder. They were definitely speaking at a volume that was borderline impolite during a musical performance, but the staff seemed to be aware and mitigated anything that needed to be taken care of. The music was a little louder from where we were sitting which can take a toll on your ears a bit, but all of the musicians were extremely talented and impressive!I would say 2-4 people would be a sweet spot for party size, and definitely call ahead and make a reservation if you have more!

A great place to catch some stellar jazz. Been here for NYE 2 years now. The staff is phenomenal, the band is always playing so well, and the drinks are nice and I believe all were about $11. There is usually a small cover charge on regular nights that's usually around $12. (NYE is $25 with a complementary champagne toast). If you like jazz especially in a cozy intimate environment, this is the place to be.

The bartender was phenomenal. Entertaining and full of jokes. And made some killer drinks! The vibe was everything I pictured!! Will definitely come back again.

This guy was sitting behind me and was singing to the music. Very funny dude. At one point he was air jamming guitar

I recently attended a show here with BF and friends. We were greeted at the door warmly and were able to pay the cover charge with cash, or for those who never have cash, with a card.We were offered a cozy high top table in the corner, which suited us well. This place is pretty tiny, so there's not really any bad seats.Service was warm and we were checked on often.The sound was excellent and we enjoyed the live music.The drinks were expensive and frankly pretty bad. I had a Manhattan, which weirdly tasted of nothing but water. Rum and diet was no better, nor were BF's drinks. Maybe stick with wine or beer here?

Amazing, good vibes , ambiance had a great time celebrating my birthday staff was great and the music was cool

The staff are amazing. The door person is the kindest and most friendly person there and if you come more than once he def remebers you. It's table service for drinks at a table and they will try to set you and your group if possible. Come early on a busy night and you should be set. I usually am able to sit near the front. Ppl dress casual here but it's also a fun place to dress up and look cute. The jazz bands here are V perky and they know how to man a crowd. The drinks are good and the staff are good at making sure you're checked in on.The only con is on a busy night you might not have space for a larger group. I've been here multiple times and it has always been a great experience for me. There is a cover but they accept cash and card.

We came around 9:15 on a Saturday night, so eager to enjoy the live jazz about to be snowed upon us on a hot August eve. 9:30 strikes and so does the live music, ALIVE with soul and emotion... I'm from Chicago and love live music and a beautiful atmosphere with music lovers with appreciation for the art behind ALL of it. Enjoyed our cocktails, the bar, the EVERYTHING that embodies this place. I have memories here, now, and hope to continue them into the future. Shall i return to the MKE area, I will most DEFINITELY return!!!!

Sad I didn't know about this place sooner. So just for a heads up - there is a cover. $12 per person to enter. Great jazz music. Loved the band. great craft drinks. There is open seating and some reserved towards the front. They have an open bar where anyone can sit. There were a few groups but not more than about 6 people, but in sure they could accommodate for more. Staff was super nice and checked on us frequently. If you're on a date or with a group I would advise calling ahead to reserve spot. I got a French 75 and it was awesome! Would recommend. My mom got the Caroline's confusion and it was amazing!

The live jazz at Caroline's was on my must-see list while in town for the Thanksgiving holiday. The service was on point from beginning to end despite my ever-growing crowd. The ambiance was good and Caroline herself made the rounds to ensure comfort and satisfaction. Although they don't serve food, they're able to order from restaurants that utilize the delivery services. A neat concept I suppose as an alternative, but we didn't need to take them up on the offer as we'd eaten before the show. The band was good and live music is always great. I look forward to returning as a party of 4 instead of 15. Much more conducive to a relaxed atmosphere.
