Amazing live music venue with a classic Austin vibe. The atmosphere is intimate and perfect for jazz—great sound, low lighting, and a relaxed crowd that’s there for the music. Drinks were solid and reasonably priced for a downtown spot. Staff were friendly and kept things moving, and it felt like a place you can stay for a full set without being cramped. If you want a true live-music experience in Austin, Elephant Room is a must.
Its a really cool place, I went to go see my saxophone teacher perform. Kind of crowded but not horrible. All in all its a great place and the staff is super friendly!
This place was recommended by an Austin local. Nice Jazz bar in downtown Austin. Drinks were good. The place was nice felt cozy and intimate. Jazz band sounded great. There was a line to get in but it moved pretty quickly. I waited in line for about 10 minutes and I arrived there right before band started to play. I'd say you will probably wait longer in line if you arrive once band starts. Overall great experience and exactly what I was looking for in a casual Jazz bar.
This place is absolutely wonderful in all the ways you would want a jazz music venue to be. Let's get to the basics: 1. The service is amazing, fast, and friendly 2. The music is of the utmost top quality professional musicians. 3. The location is easily accessible (as soon as all this construction downtown is finished) 4. The atmosphere is the best part about the whole facility. Dimly lit, not too crowded, and perfect for a date night. -The only reason I don't leave 5 stars is because no food. With food choices, I'll come back and update my review to 5 stars.
Watched the BIG BRASS BAND that plays every second Tuesday, AMAZING! Waitstaff was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. The basement feel lends to a Speakeasy and the atmosphere was relaxed. Took a friend of mine to listen to the music, she was blown away! Will be returning when I am back in town. Stop by and check them out. You will not regret it!
