JoJo Restaurant and Bar

We really loved stopping into Jojo's last weekend. It was one of the best parts of our weekend trip.We had originally had plans to hit another jazz spot in town but I wasn't thinking we would care for the overall vibe of the show there. I across JoJo's and without knowing for sure who the act would be we made a reservation. We arrived ready for a good show but initially we were in trouble. The gal at the front said that the lower level was full(where the stage was), and was sitting us upstairs. I said we couldn't do that, that we were there for the jazz.after a lucky break that someone left we did get a table downstairs. And the show started.the band was trumpet guitar keys and drums. They were pretty good. Everyone was bouncing off each other and often the keys were the playing the base lines along with keys(he had 2 synthesizers).Later songs a sax and then another sax showed up and played as well. Then a much older fella came in part way to a song and sang some licks as well. Incredible show, solid service and venue.Next time in town we will be back.

Totally had to get some Jazz in my bones while I'm in DC for a few weeks and I'm super happy to admit that Jojo restaurant and bar made for an awesome first stop.I made a reservation for 6:45pm and I'm happy I did. Although I probably could have managed to snag a seat at the bar without one, the place is teeny tiny and could have easily been filled to the brim. There were a healthy amount of folks in this night and I had a great time sitting incognito and watching them all.Jazz was great! On the melodic side but it scratched the jazz itch I had. Ok now, the food was phenomenal. For dinner I opted for the lamb chops and they were huge and delicious. When the plate came, I immediately knew I had been in Los Angeles too long because we never get anything this size and price back at home. The lamb was beautifully seasoned with delicious potatoes on the side; I scarfed down the whole thing mighty quickly.ALSO! I think the new love of my life is the Apple tartlet. Perfectly sweet with a healthy dose of cinnamon, sugar, and a big dollop of gelato on top. It was everything I needed to top off my already perfect meal.Drinks were great too! I got the jungle inn, a rum based concoction as well as The Ellington. Which was served in a fancy martini glass. Both were amazing.Totally great introduction to the jazz scene in DC at Jojo restaurant and bar! I'm already looking forward to where my next jazz adventure in the city takes me.

I loved the ambiance of this spot! It was beautiful and dimly lit for an intimate evening. We were going to enjoy the music, which didn't end up lasting very long after we arrived, so that was a bit disappointing. Also I'm not sure if it's advertised online, but if you're looking to sit down at a table, they told us that there was a cover charge and a 2 drink minimum per person. Now I might be able to understand, but we initially spoke with two people who had different prices for the cover which made it seem like maybe they don't charge a cover every night, or that they charge whatever they feel like. Nonetheless, their drink selection is extensive and I personally enjoyed their white wines!

Great vibes! Love the live jazz! The food was delicious too. There are two levels. We dined on the second level; next time we will try to reserve the 1st floor, so we can interact with the band. Overall, we will be returning the next time we are in D.C.

Jojo's is an intimate restaurant with live jazz, blues and soul nightly. There are a wide variety of options plus weekly specials and a daily HH (5-7) at the bar. The servings are filling and everything comes out quickly.

We tried to stop in here for a drink before dinner but it was totally packed! We tried again after dinner and were able to secure a table. The place is tiny and intimate but has a great atmosphere. Unfortunately they had no coffee options other than a basic coffee, and only had creamer and no milk. I would have loved an espresso after dinner but had to settle for a coffee. We ordered a dessert and a few drinks, and they were all great. Cute little place to stumble upon. Music was fabulous also, will definitely pop in again - maybe to try dinner!

What a great night! We got a wonderful spot at a high top in a the corner and had a great view of the bands. Wonderful music, wonderful food and drinks, and the service was lovely. We'll definitely plan to come back again for a nice date night!

Great service amazing experience and vibe , the jazz was immaculate, wings were incredible and well priced over all

Make my visit every three to four months when I come to DC to visit family and friends. Enjoy jazz and blues every night except Monday and Tuesday, with good American flavors and knowledgeable bartenders.

JoJo's Restaurant and Bar in DC offers an unforgettable dining experience. The food is exceptional, service attentive and welcoming, and the live music sets a fun/vibrant mood. A true "5 star" spot.
