The Blue Room at Grub & Vine is our live music and cocktail lounge that pays homage to the soulful sounds of jazz and the blues. A collaborative venture between Grub & Vine's Chef Patron Matt Manning and well-known jazz artist Buddy Wells, the lounge also sports a state-of-the-art recording studio, where you'll catch musicians in action from time to time.

Located on the ground floor of 103 Bree Street, the Blue Room features a bespoke cocktail menu - with delicious concoctions such as the 'Ella Fizzgerald' (gin, lime, rhubarb, fennel and Brut MCC) and 'Muddy Waters' (Bourbon, dry sherry, vanilla maple and naartjie) - as well as a delectable selection of small plates for guests to nibble on.

The Blue Room is open for lunch from Monday - Friday, brunch on Saturdays and tapas and cocktails at night, while live performances from some of the country's top jazz, soul and blues artists will be a regular evening occurrence.

    Ndumiso Nyovane and his jazzed the evening away and drew the crowd along as we became part of the act. What a wonderful fusion of Africa and traditional jazz. Keyboard, drums and bass were complimented with excellent mixing. A truly wonderful experience.

    The room is very elongated, more like a corridor with the stage at the end (not u-shaped around the stage) The atmosphere depends on how far you sot up front. If you look of at the pictures of the listing, you have the feeling you are sitting first/second row of incredible artists. The artists are good, but the bar staff is not able to individualized the technical environment for each band. Keep in mind : For a reservation you have to pay a cover fee of 200E pP.

    The sound was shocking, it’s such a pity because the musicians were so good. A lot of people left the venue because the sound was so bad! The service was really not to standard you would expect from such a lovely venue. It was such a disappointment…
