Elephant Room

Rating: 5

Really enjoyed this spot for a weeknight drink with live music. We sat towards the back so we could still hear each other. We didnt have any food (Im not sure they have any actually). The drinks are lovely and the staff is wonderful. Everyone was so accommodating and actually had personality! The spot really fills up, even on a weeknight. FYI, its down a few steps into the basement. The bathrooms could use a bit of cleaning though.

Elephant Room is a true gem for jazz lovers. Even though there was a long line to get in, once inside, the staff was attentive and stopped by our table almost immediately. Located in the basement of the Swift Building in Austin, this venue offers incredible jazz music 365 nights a year. While they dont serve food, they have a solid selection of over 20 draft beers and wines by the glass. I stuck to my favorite, whiskey on ice with a splash of ginger ale. Parking can be a bit tricky, even with the nearby paying lots, but its worth it for the experience.

One of the best basement jazz hideouts in the world! The jazz musicians Ive experienced are real pros, the service and drinks are excellent. Sit in the front if youre a real jazz afficianado because those seats are for listening. Sit toward the back if you think jazz is background music for a conversation. Well worth it!

I came here with my friends on the 4th of July and it was wonderful! The Smokin Tony cocktail was delicious. The music, Ephraim Quartet, was well balanced. The atmosphere was cool temperature wise and decor. The Elephant Room was a perfect way to round out a day in Austin. Depending on what kind of day/evening you re having, consider going to the Austin Toy Museum and Arcade before hand. Swift s Attic is nearby, too. In case you want to hit up some totally Austin spots.

Great place for live jazz. It s a small venue so recommend arriving early so you can get a good seat. If you arrive after the performance starts, there could be a wait. Just walk to the Corner bar for a drink and a seat will probably open up when you re finished. Service can be a bit slow but the music is great!

A lovely venue that balances the sense of party and intimacy. I went here with a treasured friend not expecting anything but then we were served tasty drinks and also a lovely jazz set replete with some guest jams and also an entertaining performer. The atmosphere was lulling and it made some people in the corner dance and kiss in merriment. As I was enjoying the performance, I was also thinking of all the many decisions in my life and I feel that gentle realisation that I am leading a good life. I reach out to the hands of my friend and he reached back. The words to Come Away With Me reverberated from the microphone. I am happy.

Drink prices are too high. They also charge you by the shot plus an additional 50% markup for a mixer of any kind. Price for a Single Ranch Water is $10 for the shot plus $5 for the club soda and lime juice. If you order a double the price goes to $20 for the shots plus $10 for club soda and lime juice. Servers are relatively indifferent towards you but they dont mind defaulting you to 22% tip which is fine if the service was less Dirty 6th and more uptown(yes i tipped the 22% despite getting less-than service). Is this really the new downtown Austin pricing and service?? Otherwise, the bands are excellent but the vibe isnt quite old Austin like the Elephant Room used to represent. I was hoping to rate 5 stars overall but I just dont think thats suitable. Only the interior and bands are 5 stars but other aspects bring the rating down for me.

I ve been here multiple times. Met the owner and never had a problem. Tonight I came in and grabbed a drink. The energy of Tristian the manager felt like he was on a racist trip. I had one minute to finish my glass of wine so he says so-I respond in an excitement way of a yes one minute to hang to finish up. He gets offended or somewhat and maybe thinks I m being smart? But wasn t and says actually we have to leave. He has an attitude and continues to say we have to leave and takes a photo of me without my concent while I say I have been to this spot many times and never had a problem. I work downtown in the service industry and had always recommended this spot. After tonight I will NEVER RECOMMEND THIS RACIST SPOT EVER!!!!!!!!! I appreciate the response but I will not edit any of the review. No discrimination comments were made but the energy in the room shifted into that realm. While he approached me differently while other customers were enjoying their last drink of the night; but we had to leave? Energy is energy.

A unique cellar setting bar with a few tables. Greeted by a friendly bouncer who informed us the Cover charge would be included in our drink tab. The waiter was accommodating as we moved tables 3 times trying to position ourselves closer to the tiny stage. The drinks were good. Dont remember a food option. They had every night of the week scheduled with jazz musicians from a calendar listed on the back side of the bar menu. Parking: Walking or Uber was the best way to navigate the city. Kid-friendliness: Adults only seemed to be the expectation. Even though the young college age couple at the table in front of the stage was almost more entertaining than the band. Wheelchair accessibility: There did not seem to be a ramp or elevator available to gain access.

The jazz club has always been a gem, known for its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional music. However, it recently underwent a transformation that elevated the entire experience. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the person at the front, who not only welcomed me but also quickly found a table for me. This small change made a big difference in the overall service. The staff seemed more attentive and eager to ensure that every guest had a fantastic time. The music, as always, was top-notch, but now, with the improved service, the entire evening felt even more special. I highly recommend this jazz club to anyone looking for a night of great music and excellent service. The recent improvements have truly taken it to the next level.

A very cool, chill place to let go and relax to the music. When I went, the NOW Jazz Orchestra was playing, lucky me! They play every fourth Wednesday, and well, are worth getting into your plans for the week. Drinks are very reasonable and service is on top of everything. Hint: get there early! Seats fill up fast and there arent a whole lot of them. So get there at least 30 mins early, order a drink, get a seat at a table and enjoy the warm up before the show!!

Boy is this place overrated. I was recommended to come here on a visit to Austin. Came by pretty early on a Saturday and talked to the host, who seemed a bit grumpy and found out 1. there s no food served and 2. There s usually a long wait when the band starts. Ok fine, went to get a bite and came back. Waited 30-40 mins to get in this time. Finally reached the front and got seated by the host in the back corner of the bar. Couldn t see and could hardly hear the band. First thing the bartender does is snap at me that I took somebody s seat and need to give it back. Umm.. no I was seated here by the host. At that point I was done and walked out, no sense paying a cover for a band you can t enjoy and harassment from the staff. From what I heard standing in line the band seemed pretty good, shame I couldn t enjoy it. Maybe it s the best club in Austin but by national standards it s not good.

Not a tourist-friendly place, but maybe with a trained doorman it could improve. The website says first come, first served , but the doorman (who was chatting at a table and not watching the door), yelled at two petite ladies that they couldn t come in and would have to wait behind the door. They weren t regulars and would have to wait instead of looking for seats. Maybe he s just a sad person who doesn t get the Fri-Sat shift and has to work on Sundays, or maybe he s just poorly trained. If he was my doorman, I probably would have fired him on the spot. Either way, he s made it clear that tourists and outsiders aren t welcome here. Best to just find somewhere else for live music.

We were in town for Valentines Day and stopped by the Elephant Room on a recommendation from a friend. We were greeted by a friendly doorman who when we could not find a table due to the crowd was kind enough to get us one right up front. The Elephant Room isnt nearly the size of some of the Jazz clubs in KC but it had a cozy vibe and the band playing that night was excellent. We stayed until they finished playing near closing time. Our drinks were good and not watered down so a tip of the hat to the bartender on duty that night. We recommend visiting the Elephant Room whenever you are looking for a jazz club or intimate spot to enjoy live music. We did not get any food so I did not choose any stars, there should be a N/A choice.

Elephant Room was a surprisingly fun Jazz Club. We went for the Monday night jam session and were pleasantly surprised by the great music. The house was packed, but we didnt have to wait long. We actually had a table, and the service was great they definitely come check on you often to make sure that you dont need anything else. Side note they have these really cool giant Square ice cubes. In general, it was cool vibes and a great crowd. I would definitely go back to visit and recommend.

In Austin for the weekend and I knew I had to catch some great music. There isnt much in the way of jazz in my city so I picked the Elephant Room as my top must do this trip. It did not disappoint! We arrived a little after 9 and had to wait for about 30 minutes to get in. A few key things to know: $7 cover will be added to your tab, dont worry about it at the door Its a small venue and few tables have a good view of the stage Drinks are strong! And very tasty. We stuck with the Jazz Juice all night.

The Elephant Room underwent needed subtle changes in recent years. Tables near the front have reminders to keep the noise down and just generally be civilized so the music dominates. In the back, talk all you want. No food here very reasonably priced booze and non alcohol, good beer selection. One of the spiritual homes of great Austin jazz.

The best place for jazz in Austin! Been around forever, and is exactly what I think of when I imagine what a jazz bar might look and feel like. Wheelchair accessibility: Is not wheelchair accessible, unless there is an elevator I dont know about

A great place if you want a relaxing evening of live music and drinks. They do not offer food, but allow you to bring outside food, if you d like. Also, the view of the stage from the bar is not very good, so I d recommend coming early to grab a table.

Not a good place if you really want to see the stage. Got there by 9pm and the only table available was far back in the corner. You gotta be there around by 7:45 to get a good table that you can actually see the performance. Including the gratuity fee for the stage, the drinks are not even that cheap. For $12 drink, I paid over 20

Awful customer experience from the jump! Ive been 2 times now and there is no reservation thus if its at capacity you have to wait the line. OK cool no reservation ok cool but whats not cool is if its the right white man and his lady apparently they can cut the line. Ive seen it 2 times blatant questionable behavior from the front folks. Get some integrity Elephant room, you jumped that spark for that $$$.

We went here on a Monday night when the house band played, led by John Blondell, who played bass. The band was a jazz quintet and they were excellent. Two things stood out for me: 1) Blondells chops on bass were more than just the average bassist. After the show I introduced myself to Blondell and asked if he was a studio musician to which he replied yes. Blondell is also proficient on trombone. 2) The trumpeter was an elderly gentleman named Dr. Jim Hart. Hart was dressed to the nines, spry, engaging, and a very good vocalist as well, not to mention the chops on his horn were very good. My wife and I are not drinkers so we had soft drinks. Food is not served here although they allow food to be brought in. We went to Coopers Old Time Barbeque and had dinner while the band played. I highly recommend the Elephant Room!

Found it to be quite overcrowded/ potentially overbooked on a weeknight. Drinks were good and so was the service. Atmosphere made me feel like I was at an old jazz bar, I loved it. Just wish it wasnt so cramped.

Great music, great atmosphere! Bands play from 6 pm - 1 am Mon-Fri, 9 pm - 1 am Sat, and 8pm to midnight on Sun. Finding seating isnt too hard on work nights (Sun-Thu), but Fri and Sat, youll either want to make a reservation or get there by 8:00 to get a table, otherwise you may have to wait in line outside for a few minutes. Parking-wise, youll probably have to walk a few blocks, since this place is in the heart of downtown off 3rd and Congress, so finding parking right next to it can be tricky!
