Jazz and Blues Venue · Hell's Kitchen · 71 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: Book ahead. The bar seats are OK. Food/beverage minimum. The southern cuisine is superb. Servers can be distracting, ask to sit on the left side of the room in front if bothered. Late night is great!

Jazz and Blues Venue · West Village · 124 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: Sunday fun-day takes on a new meaning. Go early, stay late. Late night jam session is great if you're looking for local flavor. Provides a community for musicians local and abroad. It's authentic.
Jazz and Blues Venue · Theater District · 534 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: It's decent and in a good location, but the vibe is a little lackluster and the service isn't what it could be. Good acts sometimes, but sometimes a total miss. Reservations generally important.
Jazz and Blues Venue · Murray Hill · 12 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: Beautiful room. Good musicians. The stage is in the front of the room; there are blind spots. Book ahead and ask to sit where you can see the musicins. Otherwise, you'll have to crane your neck.

Jazz and Blues Venue · Rose Hill · 78 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: I like the room, I like the food, I like the musicians, I like Mondays there a lot. The staff has a good vibe. The table seating is tight and communal(like). Ask to sit on the perimeter. Better views.

Jazz and Blues Venue · West Village · 76 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: No food, well drinks, awkward room, AMAZING music. Go to the first set, pay one cover, stay all night and only pay the drink minimum for each additional set. You couldn't possibly regret it! LOVE!!!
Piano Bar · Flatiron District · 18 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: Service is slow, they try not to be disruptive, but rarely succeed. The shows are great, excellent booking, but it's an uncomfortable, loud room with expensive cocktails and lackluster food.

Jazz and Blues Venue · Upper West Side · 37 tips and reviews
Sarah Colvin: Going alone? Sit at the bar. Going with friends? Grab a table. It's all good and it's all worthy. One of the best known jam sessions and open mics anywhere. Best of all: no cover + $10 Minimum.
