Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 13, 2012Few Washington nightlife places have enjoyed the notoriety of Georgetown’s Blues Alley. Since it opened in 1965, Blues Alley has touted itself as “DC’s Best Jazz Supper Club.” -- Green Guide Editor
Rebecca VeaderSeptember 26, 2011Try and see if Carlton is working! Best server Ever! It was me and my husbands anniversary and he told the artist and we got a shout. Ohh by the way rachelle Farrell is the BOMB! 9-25-11! Best nite!
Ama BrownSeptember 28, 2013Our service was very, very slow, but the show was amazing! For the price ($35 ticket, $3.50 service fee, $12 table minimum and $10 to park nearby) it was well worth it!
Rob CampbellJanuary 21, 2016Food = OK (I had an app, fried shrimp). Drinks = Small (performing artist special, thought it would be the Stacy Brooks drink but I was wrong). Atmosphere = intimate. Stacy Brooks Band rocked.- Johnika DDecember 23, 2012Cozy venue. Came for Syleena Johnson. Stay away from the food or use your $12 food min wisely. I sent the Spinach Dip back--soupy. The Gumbo was edible. I'll grab something to eat on my way home.
AmateurConciergeMarch 20, 2018Intimate live venue to catch jazz over a drink. Seems like it’s easy to just walk in. Pretty solid bookings
Jorge SánchezMarch 9, 2018Great music and mood! The food is really terrible, try to have something to eat before you arrive.
- David Matthew GaüerFebruary 22, 2013This place is great! Not about the food though... experience good artist in a relaxed intimate environment!
Josh BMarch 15, 2013Don't go showing up early or anything. If you're checking out the late set, your ass gets to sit outside in the cold until just before 10.
Michael JeffersonOctober 25, 2014Jazz on a Saturday night... While Chloé has a birthday celebration night cap with 8 of her schoolmates at the Embassy Suites!
For the premier acts get there 30 minutes before showtime. You may wait but you get your choice of seat.

Miguel "Chapi D." Oyola Jr.March 22, 2012Had the salmon last week, amazing. Had some crab cake with cheese sent it back, didn't have any crab sent it back. Do not order, foul.
Gail StewartMarch 5, 2013Beloved blues singer Eva Cassidy used to play here...the waitresses here knew her and shared stories...damn near makes me cry...she was taken so young
Cheryl GorhamJuly 15, 2013Got a table right at the stage Marcus Johnson was fabulous food was good too!! 👍
AMISeptember 26, 2011Hope you're all going to be checking-in to the Robert Glasper Trio's performance on October 10th at 8 & 10pm! Give us a shout if you are (@AMIagency)!
Don SullivanApril 4, 2016Food at the second show sometime is not as good as earlier shows but service is fast

Sunday SceneFebruary 15, 2010Bring at least a party of 4 otherwise you'll end up sharing a table with strangers.
- MazdaNovember 1, 2010Founded in 1965, Blues Alley is the nation's oldest continuing jazz supper club, having showcased internationally renowned concert hall artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, & Nancy Wilson.
C. SOctober 25, 2009Way overpriced food, tickets are usually too high, but intimate venue for good shows.
