I have been here a couple of times, and the entertainment is always amazing. A very nice atmosphere for you and the girls. You and the guys or an intimate dave, even a night of getting to know each other and having some conversation over a couple of drinks and great music. And the owner is absolutely AMAZING!!!!

We had a great time at Westside Blues and Jazz. The food and drinks were good. Service and dancing by Easton were excellent. We were rocking in our seats and enjoying the sets by the Robert Parker Jr. Trio. All around good experience.

Absolutely love this place! Very talented, musicians, great atmosphere with a cool design.Tickets are very affordable, parking is easy. The owner is a wonderful lady who is involved directly in the operations. Sometimes her and the staff cut loose and they are amazing dancers. I cannot understand why anybody would leave anything less than five stars about this place. recommend showing up about an hour before the showtime to get seats, but there is no such thing as a bad seat in the house so really anywhere is fine.

We love the atmosphere and the music. We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary and were hoping to enjoy some good food and drinks. But both were mediocre for the price.It also would have been nice for line dancing or dance music to play in between sets.

This has to be one of the preeminent live music venues in the valley. The seating is super intimate, mixed drinks are a strong pour and the acts that come thru here are an eclectic mix of some of the best musicians around.Not strictly jazz & blues, so check out the website for the various acts due in.The sound & lighting system compliments the act on stage. Sound & lighting engineer running the board. Nice size dance floor.That being said...you pay for the experience. Tickets can range from $15 to $30 each and add a two drink minimum of around $25 to $30 per person. There is a built in 20% gratuity. Not a fan... when the first round takes a half hour to hit the table.Table for 2...a C note for an evening out, that cant be matched anywhere I know of in the valley.

Went here on my birthday October 6th and had an amazing time. The vibe was so chill and the band was great! Food was delicious and so were the drinks. This was probably my best night out I’ve had in a long time! The service was amazing too. My waitress was at tentative and friendly and the other service even had some really good dance moves dancing to the band. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went for the first time last night and saw Big Pete Peterson King of Blues and we had a blast! The band was great, Big Pete was soulful and funny and to be in his 80s sang like he was in his 20s, Easton our server was just amazing, he was very attentive and we did nit have to wait long to get our drinks or food, and he even brought me gum for my onion breath after my amazing turkey club sandwich and fries!(oh and the pretzel bites are amazing too) He did not disappoint! We will definitely sit in his section every time we go oh and what a dancer! He was very entertaining! The way he was twirling and flipping the other dancer around was one of the highlights of the night! We most definitely will be back and will be seeing what other wonderful bands they have to offer!

Cute bar...BUT wayyy over priced for what it is and what it provides. my friends arrived 15min before I did. they were charged 25 cover and I was charged 15 cover and was told its a 2 drink minimum. cover is cash only. was better off going to a steakhouse for what we each spent here.

Westside blues and jazz was amazing. We went on Sunday at 3pm in the afternoon. I suggest you call ahead for tickets and seating. Try to get chairs in front of the stage, its the best. We only had drinks but they were very good portions very reasonable. This place is not super large so you definitely want to reserve your seats. We partied with this amazing band called Don Williams and company.. He is an ex member of the Commodores and he can bring it.

Came on a Thursday night it was a pretty good night at first. However they have an unusual requirement that you must purchase 2 drinks per tab. Which it’s fine I guess, but when my friend asked why her bill was so high to the server, the bartender named Jim jumped in her conversation with the server. He was extremely condescending and insulting. And asked the question like what do you pay for a concert as if coming to a jazz venue compares. I will never come again. It’s not the money it’s the principle. I don’t see this establishment lasting long with disgusting customer service as we experienced tonight. I will NEVER come again.

Went there several times this year and was total impressed with the different Soul and Jazz bands performances and their music. We like to dance and the style of music fit our needs well. The finger food was fine, but the kitchen was really slow filling orders. We do plan on returning this winter. Like the requirement to be vaccinated to attend. We enjoyed overall.

Paid for tickets for a show with preferred seating. Arrived and the place was packed and our seats were given away. We were told we could squash ourselves on a couch with perfect strangers.I wish I could say this was the first time. It happened before as well. Awful! And no refund. Watch out folks!There is no place to respond to you on your reply, so Ill edit here. This was back in January of 2023. It also happened the year before. We have dinner next door and if we are even 5-10 minutes after the hour, there is no table for us. Shouldnt matter if we are early or late, we pay to reserve preferred seating. That means we should have that when we arrive. No one there seems to care. They just fill up all the seats. And then they tried to sit us with total strangers. Its crazy!

I have been here several times and the entertainment is great! Every time I have been there, I have been able to purchase tickets. Today the show was sold out so we showed up at 1:45 and put our names on a list. We waited at Finnegan’s next door and checked back at 3:00. They were letting people in who did not have tickets and showed up after the 3 people on the list. If you don’t have tickets, find something else to do. They will not honor the wait list.

Review №28

Super unprofessional staff and management. There was an error with my ticket. I reached out to the event coordinator and location over a dozen times with no help and nothing but promises for call backs. After I finally got an email from someone claiming to be running the event, I told him I was done deal with everything and just needed to be refunded. I got a 3 word response telling me no. Ive sent several messages asking why and could anything else be done, without any replies back. I would never trust this business with my money and would encourage others to look for other, honest, locations for events and music.

Had a great time at Westside Blues and Jazz yesterday! Went for the Sunday afternoon show and it was so much fun!

Great place! The music was AMAZING! We saw Big Pete. I dont remember the bands name. The sound was great. Not a bad seat in the house. Great drinks too. Also this is the first smallish club Ive been to that is actually handicap acssesable. I use a wheelchair. I was able to get a fabulous seat and I was able to use the restroom easily. I hate that we had to leave early but we will be back soon! Thanks for making my anniversary special!!!!!

Wow. This place is freaking AMAZING!!! Kudos Paul & Cindy for one of the best places for live music in Phoenix. The atmosphere is off the charts. Servers & bartenders are engaging & very attentive. As the male lead vocalist for Don Williams Sr & Company. It was my absolute pleasure to perform at this AMAZING venue. One of if not the best place I’ve played yet in Phoenix. Thank you again for your warmth & hospitality last night!!! Can’t wait for the next show. 🎶🎤😎

We were so excited to find out they were finally opening after a year (thanks COVID...). The wait was SO worth it. The music was just phenomenal, like the blues clubs we used to haunt back in Chicago. The location itself is great...plenty of parking. Intimate venue with a great menu, attentive staff, good service, comfortable seating, and not a bad view in the house! We will definitely be back.

Just got back from a great Sunday afternoon of music at Westside Blues And Jazz featuring Pam Morita and friends. The jazz was marvelous in this intimate space.The venue features comfortable seating with tables large enough to hold drinks and snacks, but still leaving room to move around. The acoustics sounded good. The lighting was a little weird; the performers at either edge of the stage were greyish-orange, but the one center stage was pale pink.Theres a 2 drink minimum, and I would have preferred a greater selection of local craft beers. My choice of a mocktail was the Bloody Shame: an alcohol-free Bloody Mary with plenty of celery seed and hot sauce, and enough garnishes for a small salad. (The slice of lime seemed random.) Unfortunately, the drink was too salty, so I couldnt finish it.The cheese plate held a selection of standard cheeses, some hummus, trail mix, and wonderfully crispy crackers. The mild Banger Bites were served with mashed potatoes.I will definitely be back to listen to local jazz and blues musicians in a great little club.

We went to a Curly Taylor & Zydeco Trouble. Absolutely great show!! We had seen him twice Rhythm Room but this venue was so much nicer. Great friendly crowd and staff. The cocktail waitress was quite the dancer for an entertainment bonus. To bad it’s so far from our home or we’d be there regularly.

Must give this place a try! Enjoyable experience that is hard to find out in the suburbs.We definitely need more unique establishments like this around our area. Not sure why so many are complaining about the cover & 2 drink minium as this is common in a lot of venues. Overall great experience all-around!

I sent back the food, that I found was cook next door. Horrible, how you mess up a simple turkey club? By not adding the bacon and making it a triple decker. I paid $20 for a turkey sandwich. Female manager was kind in return my money but didnt offer a discount in another selection

What a fantastic experience we had last Thursday. Great blues music by Blues Review band. Shout-out to lead guitarist Sugar Bear...a sensational blues guitarist. Chicago and New Orleans blues 15 minutes away on West side Phoenix. Staff at club very professional, decor classy, all seats are good, drinks reasonably priced. Our waitress very attentive. The owner came around and greeted us. We liked this club a lot.

Nice venue, great music, very poor service. We got our 1st drink at the bar and asked about the reserved seating. The bartender was rude and arrogant. He acted like we were stupid because we werent familiar with things. Once we found a table we couldnt get anyone to wait on us. Asked one of the servers and we were told she would bring our server over to our table. It never happened. We were finally able to order a drink and then could never get our ticket to pay. We finally gave what we thought we owed to the bartender and left. We spoke to the general manager who was outside about it. She wanted us to wait while she went inside to ask about it. We were totally fed up by then and left. It seems like they only cater to regulars. Will not be going back.

Review №44

This was a wonderful experience! We tried to buy tickets online the night before the event, but they were all sold out. On the night of the event, we decided to stop by and see if there were any cancellations or open seating. Thankfully, there was standby seating outside of the business. We waited for about an hour, while we enjoyed drinks and listened to the music from the outdoors.Once we got inside, the atmosphere was intoxicating. We were able to dance near our seats, and it was just a great time!Also, theyve implemented some Covid precautions. They check your temperature before you enter the building. The seating is 6 feet apart. They have sanitizer at rhe individual tables indoors. Also, there are plastic barriers between those closer to the stage.As a drink recommendation, the waitress suggested The Hurricane. It was really good! It tasted like an island drink. I loved it!If youre looking for something to do one night, I strongly recommend this place! I cant wait to go again!

Attended a performance by Sandra Bassett tonight. First impression, atmosphere was cozy and refined, with great moody lighting. It was clear a lot of effort was put into the design of the space. Walking in the door, my boyfriend and I were notified of a 2 drink minimum and as wed already paid the $20/each cover charge, we felt obligated to agree. That was the first dent in the experience, even though we probably would have had a couple of drinks anyway. What really rounded out my 2 star rating was the multiple announcements by the performer to buy more drinks, remember to tip the waitress, and throw some tips in her bucket, too. The cherry on top was the casual glance at our receipt after getting home and finding that we were overcharged for our $9 Mules.... turns out there were extra fees? It was an expensive night. $69 for 4 drinks and an order of fries with garlic aioli, plus the cover which had a strange $3 fee thrown into each one. Its a great place in theory, but not worth it for me to return, unfortunately.

Visited this venue with my girlfriend and was not totally pleased. The musicians and decor were nice but waitress came about every 5 min to ask if we wanted anything (pushing for sales). We paid a cover charge, isnt that a charge to cover if we decide not to drink? We were told there is a 2 drink minimum at the door. Then when we sat down the waitress was right there reminding us about the minimum. After getting home we looked more closely at the receipt, it appears that sales tax had been added to the menu price as well as added to the sub total. The experience would have been much more pleasant if we were not continually reminded by the singer to tip and if the prices were more clear as our $9 mules averaged about $12.50 each. We wont be returning to this place.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! We have never been here before, and my husband and I came here for the New Years Eve event featuring CROS. The band was amazing! The food, servers, staff and owner were all friendly and worked hard to make sure everyone was having a good time! I got the lemon pepper dry rub chicken wings and garlic fries. It was sooo delicious! The flavor was perfect! I like my wings and fries crispy and they were done to perfection. Our server was great! She was kind, attentive, and had a great attitude. The lighting and seating was perfect for the event. The club also gave everyone a New Years Eve goodie bag with horns, hats, confetti, beads, a lay, shot glasses, and a complimentary glass of champagne to bring in the New Year! I havent had this much fun in years. We will definitely come back!

This club has amazing music and really does a great job of bringing a variety of musicians to the west valley. Weve visited several times since they opened.Unfortunately, when we visited on September 10th we had our banking information stolen by an employee. We NEVER use our debit card. We use our CC to get points everywhere we go. For some reason, my husband gave his debit card to pay the bill. This is the only place his debit card was used in several weeks.The server took the card and was gone for about 15 minutes before bringing it back. We didnt think much of it until 2 days later when we started seeing fraudulent charges.The first charge was made on Septmeber 11th at the DQ at 67th ave/Deer Valley, so it wasnt a random online theft. After that, there were online charges through the apple store.Weve now had to make multiple calls to Chase and theyve had to issue him 2 new cards because the Apple store continues to charge our account. This has been going on for over a month at this point. While we love the venue, having our banking information stolen was not worth the visit. Keep your cards within sight and dont use debit if you can avoid it.

Been waiting for this place to open for over a year. Was thrilled to see signage last spring and then...Well a year has passed and I have been waiting for the chance to check out some West Side blues.The venue is great. Set amidst a number of restaurants at 59th and Bell so you have all kinds of options for a full evening of dinner and music.These guys are trying hard. Very personable, friendly and efficient staff.If you like the food at Tim Finnegans pub you are in luck. West Side has a limited version of their menu (go figure, Bangers and Mash in a blues pub?)Anyway, the band was hot. Sound was good and not overwhelming.Furnishings were very comfortable while observing social distancing and did I mention staff was exceptional?So, why only 4 stars? Been a blues fan most of my life and been to the other 2 (genuine) blues spots in Phoenix, not to mention Reds and Ground Zero in Clarksdale Mississippi (guess I did mention it).Maybe when the patrons have spilled a few hundred drinks on the carpet and they let you smoke in a bar again it will start to get the feel of a blues bar.Until then, kudos to the owners for taking the chance and bringing some good music to the West Side.

I Love we finally have a place like this on the west side. We went and loved the place. I dont understand what some of the complaints are about with the proof of covid shots, you have to show proof when you go to concerts. I also find it comical that someone can rate something without even going in and experiencing it. I think the owners and management go out of there way so the patrons have a great time. If you have an issue let them know when youre there so they can resolve it. They cant fix things they know nothing about. Im looking forward to our next visit with you. On the 20th. Thank you for keeping your patrons Safe.

I am a big Jazz fan and since living here in the West Valley the only timesI get to enjoy Jazz is when a couple of local Churches has a Jazz concert,and of cause Im there! But, when I heard about this Jazz club that openein the West Valley I said finally And when I went to their website and sawthat the group Cold Shots and the Hurricane Horns were going to play there, I just had to go. It did say sold out, but I e.mail to Paul and he putmyself and a girl friend on the wait list - it wasnt long before he e.mailedme back & said he had 2 seats at the bar, I jumped on it. From the timewe got there to the time we left we were treated like royalty. Nothing wastoo good for us, we left floating on a cloud. What a wonderful experiencemy friend and I had. We will definitely return. Thanks Guys.

Nice to see a new music venue in town! Mel the owner knows music and the local players! He brings in some great bands! The place looks great and is set up pretty well with sanitizer and social distancing. Tim the bartender is a kick and everyone on staff seems happy and eager to please! TRY THE BAVARIAN PRETZEL BITES!! Cant wait to get back to Westside for more music!!Hoping they will start having jam sessions in here once in awhile- maybe on Friday or Saturday nights instead of just late on weeknights, and maybe where younger players coming up can sit in with the experienced players! Mentorship!!

Have you ever washed your clothes then randomly found a random $20 in the washer? Ever bought a 6 piece nugget meal then found out you got 7 nuggets when you opened the box? If so…..then you might understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed with joy when you least expect it. If you come to this bar expecting a “decent” experience…you will immediately experience an overwhelming sense of excitement and pure happiness. Fantastic music, tremendous service and the best food on this side of the Mississippi. Come in and love your life.

Very quaint establishment, plenty of comfy seating, very clean womens restrooms. I like the fact you have to show your covid Vax too. We went to see CoolShott and the Hurricanes and what a great band! They got us up and dancing. Theres really not a set dance floor wish there was, but we found a little corner. I really couldnt taste any rum in my rum and coke was the only complaint I have. Other wise its nice to have a club of this sort on the Westside.

Review №73

DO NOT COME HERE. They require you to have a vaccine in a state where it is not mandated to attend events. Their justification? They are a private business and they are allowed to make their own rules. Its ironic because when all private businesses were shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, all the private businesses were loosing wads of money and wanted to resist the lockdown.So now that we are open, Westside Blues and Jazz wants to force rules on people because they are a private business? Mind you, the tables are all spaced out within the venue which is great for 6 feet distance.I was even willing to wear a mask.Once again, vaccines ARE NOT MANDATED by our state.But for this business to require me to have a vaccine? Ridiculous.They also offer 15 minute swab test, but the night that I went, the tester lady had got into a car accident....so she didnt show up. Even then, the 2 options are get a test right there on the spot OR show a vaccine card. What a terrible idea.Therefore, they would not let me attend the show in a venue where everything is spaced out. Even though I was willing to wear a mask during the entire show. Couldnt attend because I didnt have a vaccine? I will never attend this place. Very disappointed in their business practices. Chars Has the Blues is the spot to go to but they are closed due to renovations. Cant wait till they open again.Im still blown away they were asking people for vaccine proof.

Ended up Next door due to rude covid tester. Front door guy did a good job of informing us of the policy. Covid lady decided to try pressuring us. Well its your choice i responded i know its my choice. She continued to back talk me as I walked away. Very unprofessional.I didnt want to leave another bad review. In response to your response: I have been there and had a great time. I had a friend with me that had never been and two other on the way. The experience lost you 4 customers that day and more than likely 4 future customers.

I bought tickets for a show there and the only seat they could offer me was a sofa in the corner facing away from the band 😠 Wow..the thing is, if you have a full house, why even sell a seat that far away from the stage?? Very disappointed...wont come back again!! Thank God,they gave me a refund. Places are usually first come first serve or there is a seating chart that you can at least see where you are sitting. Couldve saved a trip if I knew my seat was in the corner facing the wall!!!😠😠😠😠

This was my first time here and I can say Im a little disappointed that sound check was happening at 7:30pm show time. Its 8pm and they just started the live sound check for monitors and levels. Growing up in the music industry Brunswick and Chi-Sound Records you learn from the best to be on time. The music just started they sound good but next time be on time. NO EXCUSE

I went on April 9, April 15, and April 18. Paul Vincent Perez and Cindi Jackson have created a triple threat on the West Side, a good booze and food venue, good people attending on both the house and guest side, and good blues and jazz music to keep us coming back. Check the schedule!The place is well designed and full of blues-related speakeasy-style touches and some modern ones, too. The blues artwork by Giovanni is amazing. A few accommodations to the pandemic have been made, including sanitizer and (temporary) clear table dividers, but these did not interfere significantly with the excellent shows.For the record, I am a long-time veteran of the Valley Blues Scene going back to The Blue Note (gone), Dr. Feelgoods (gone), Chars (sold) and the Rhythm Room (possibly reopening in the Fall). I love The Nash, as well but these good folks have already broken the ice on the West Side. So F*** Covid, vaccinate, be safe, and lets get this party started again.

I have found it!! A fantastic Blues and Jazz Club in the West Valley. These people just opened a little while ago and they are Blowing IT UP!! Get reservations ahead of time online and Just Go!! Once you walk in (early) you will say to yourself I AM HOME. Now the west valley has a soundtrack..

Im thrilled we have a venue of this quality on the west side. Recently saw Alice Tatum and the Queen Ms.Reed and Family, it was an amazing show. Westside B&J are now on my recurring to do list.

Vaccine passports??? Noone has a problem with this? A Jazz club off of all places. You could have the best type of music but will never support your discriminatory policies. Are you stopping smokersfrom coming in? Also do you understand you can still spread and contract covid with the vaccine! Highly disappointed!! Hope you wake up and stop enforcing tyranny and not live in fear for once.Reply to the owner: not getting tested because i dont feel sick. If I was sick I wont be visiting this establishment. Asymptomatic spread doesnt happen

Music was great and the environment was nice and comfortable. The waitress was very pushy and obnoxious and totally ruined the experience. Unlikely to return based on her.

Just read a poor review from someone who never even took the time to experience what this place had to offer. So I decided to leave 5 stars and I’ve never been either lol. I’ve read more reviews and honestly can’t wait to enjoy a show here. I already know I’ll have a good time so I’m sure the stars deserve to be there anyway. 😄

We couldn’t have picked a better first outing (since COVID)!! Beth Lederman, Shirley Bassett, Tim Robinson, Dave Morton, and an outstanding bass player! Our waitress was Ashley - a customer service phenomenon!! Paul and Cindi are to be congratulated for bringing blues and jazz to the west valley. Thanks so much for the COVID protocols you have in place!! A great night!!!!

My bf and I always wanted to visit this spot as its so close to where we live and we love live music. For them to require to show vaccine passport and or test there is so ridiculous. We definitely wont be supporting their business.

I had a friend invite me to this club but they have a stupid policy that requires people show their vaxx cards, which is a violation of civil liberties. My vaxx status is my personal business, no one elses.

Great place for music. About time we had jazz and blues on the West side. Beautiful in side. Great service. But they need to add to the menu. They need a burger.

The state of Arizona does not mandate vaccination verification in order to gain entry to a business, but this business does. Their overreach has cost them a customer.

I went here for the first time last night. This is a cozy, inviting and serene place to experience music and relax. The decor and atmosphere is amazing, The wait staff is focused on ensuring that you have a memorable experience. As for the live music, it absolutely, totally and completely blew my mind. The band was phenomenal, their ability to take you on a musical journey and get you out of your head for a minute was outstanding! Highly recommended any day of the week.
