Thrilled that we have a live music venue in the neighborhood that's open past 8! I had no idea it was here until looking for something to do when plans fell through a few months ago. Wide variety of performers, many who are special, out-of-town treats. The drink menu is fun and creative, and plenty of zero proof options too. The vibe was casual, warm and inviting--exactly what I look for in the Phoenix area for the arts: approachable and easy to get into but with solid talent as well. Favorites so far have been jam night (first Thursday) and Sundays. read more

My friend recently stumbled across this spot so we went to check out jam night. There is a $5 cash only cover on jam night unless you're a musician going to perform. There is a two drink minimum per person as well. We didn't mind these things and rolled right in. We got a nice seat and were greeted right away by warm people both employees and other jam night goers. We got our drinks and food ordered and they came quickly. All of it was super good and very enjoyable alongside the music. It's a cozy environment full of good folks, good music, and good drinks and food. Highly recommend following them in social media so you can keep up with their live music offerings. We will be back on a regular basis and highly recommend this fun spot on the west side of the valley! read more

Having recently moved to the area, I wanted to find a place for jazz/blues. I was a bit skeptical about a shopping center in the suburbs but it turned out to be amazing! The service was great with very attentive staff, great accommodations, and a wide variety of drink options. The music was great and I/we were happy to stay the entire time! They put on a very passionate show and the time flew by! Even the charcuterie board was very well put together especially for $28. This place is amazing and I can't wait to visit again soon. read more

$6 club soda.$7 for a coke. The music was great. The service was meh and they add the 20% automatically to your bill you know this going in, but the drinks are small and watered down. I chose to get a beer instead can't water that down but to charge someone $6 for club soda is ridiculous. I will not go back. read more

My wife and I love this place; Maybe bc it's so close. We've been there several times in the past years and the acts are always terrific. Last show we saw was Dirty Yachtin' Scoundrels and they were excellent. Cocktails, appy's and service are great and you can dance if ya wanna. A GREAT TIME...EVERY TIME! read more

We have gone a few times when Carmen's band is playing & never disappointed. Hard to not dance in your seat!!!

Ambiance and service were promo! The musicianship was off the hook! We will return. The band F.A.T. were incredible!

UPDATE (Overdue!) Westside is, in fact, open once again. It was closed briefly during a change in ownership but has since been back to enjoy. Get over there! read more

The venue is small, so every seat is relatively close. Get there early to be stage front. Food and drinks were good and servers really hustle. read more

I took my husband to Westside Blues for his birthday and we had an amazing time! There's a two drink minimum, but doesn't have to be alcohol. You can purchase tickets on line. The food was good and the jazz band was amazing and did a tribute to Ray Charles. I wasn't sure what to expect because a tribute has the potential to go really bad but they were amazing! Service is great and there's a lot of locals that are regulars at these shows. It feels like being part of a community, a family. The owner is always there, dancing and having a great time. The energy is fantastic! read more

A truly wonderful first time experience. A truly unique atmosphere with wonderful staff that made us feel so welcome. Excellent wait staff that were superior to every detail & need!! read more

Wonderful ambience, comfortable seating and good sound system. Wait staff are attentive.

My only real issue was the total cost by the end of the night. We bought tickets in advance for the 7/25/25 show to meet up with friends. It ended up selling out, so I do recommend buying early. This was our first time there, and overall, we had a good time. That said, the automatic 20% gratuity takes away from what gratuity is supposed to be--a way to show appreciation and reward good service. I'd say our service was average. The food is limited and overpriced. I initially had no issue with the two-drink minimum until I saw the bill. I had four basic iced teas, which came out to $7 each--$28 total--while my wife had three beers for just $21. As someone who's been sober for over five years, I honestly might have broken that streak if I had known tea would cost more than beer. I wasn't aware I'd be charged per glass. I ordered it, so I paid for it, but the feeling of being taken advantage of--especially over something as simple as tea--left a bad taste. read more

Love this cool jazz club! It feels like stepping into another world...very cozy and relaxing...great service, drinks and appetizers to sit back and enjoy the incredible live music we are lucky enough to have in the Phoenix metro area...just pay in cash if you want to avoid a credit card fee. read more

Early birthday outing. Hasn't heard live music in awhile. Very relaxed environment. Had a GREAT evening.

The food is mediocre at best service is somewhat close the decor, the restaurant, very New York jazz, and the woman that runs the place could be the star of the show read more

The Jazz and Blues Groups are absolutely wonderful. Soul singer, Ms. Shirley Hightower is an outstanding performer with a golden voice. The staff is always very accommadating. Drinks and appetizers are delicious. read more

I just love everything about this place. We have visited many jazz clubs across the country and this one never fails to deliver a great night. It's always a must on our vacation calendar in Phoenix/Scottsdale. They also book the best performers. Servers are friendly and attentive. The food is fairly priced for the quality received. Of all jazz venues we've visited, and we've visited far more than reviewed, it remains #1 on our list. Hubby agrees. read more

This place is a blast!! It's hands down a place to check out. Definitely worth buying tickets in advance to obtain comfy seating. Service was impeccable and food was delicious!! It's highly recommended for any occasion read more

This place is so cute! Love the vibe! Owner is super cute. LOVE HER VIBE! went by myself felt very comfortable... music was awesome. Reminisce Band. They killed it! Diffantly will be back. read more

Excellent menu and wonderful music. Will continue to visit. Small, intimate. Be sure and make reservation

If you haven't been to the Westside Blues & Jazz, you are missing out! We went last night and were thoroughly impressed by the talented musicians, comfortable atmosphere and fun vibes. Our group sat in a corner filled with comfy couches and relaxing chairs that had a perfect view of the band. The band was straight out of Louisiana and we were all tempted to book a trip to New Orleans to keep the party going. We will definitely be back to Westside Blues & Jazz to see more bands. read more

I've gone to this place multiple times and always had a good time. But on 5/27/2025 my last visit was a little strange. I believe they have switched ownership again and the Vibe in the place was all I can say very different. LET'S START OFF WITH IF YOU WANT TO SIT AT THE BAR YOU HAVE TO purchase A TICKET FOR $28.00 plus a 2 drink minimum and still not guaranteed a seat. In addition to paying $52 for 2 Cadillac margaritas that were watered down. The music in between sets from the band were horrible didn't even match the genre of music the band was playing a total mood killer. Imagine listening to R & B then listening to hard rock in between. Well not exactly Hard Rock but close to it. Sad to say but I won't be back anytime soon. read more

I love having our little Westside secret. The music, atmosphere and people are fun and entertaining. You have to check it out. Each band I saw, I went two weekends in a row, were great. The owner gets out and dances and pulls people into the floor. It's a must drop in type of joint read more

It's so much fun! The bands they have here are great and if you're in the mood to dance, or just listen to live music, this is a great place to go! read more

The music is great but bring your wallet $13-$14 per drink plus they add gratuity to your bill so make sure you look at that!

Literally the best live venue in the West Valley. Music, comedy, haiku. No better place to hang. Super helpful and talented bar staff. Local and national acts. I'm a huge fan. read more

Great little place, great bartenders, and a fun crowd of adoring regulars. I just wish two things: A sound mixer like they used to have who knew wtf they were doing, and not slapping an automatic 20% tip on every check. I was there tonight and the band was great, but the mix was different everywhere I went. Over here, where I was mostly stationed, it's all guitar and no keyboard at all. Over there, it's all keyboard. And no matter what, can't hear a goddamned thing the singer was saying. Total mud. But, nice crew, nice crowd, fun band, good times. A bar that clicks with its clientele, and that's worth a lot. Just gotta remember the not-so-little things that make up the total experience, if you're going to have a place based on the music, then make it so the musicians can all be heard. read more

Such a great venue! This was our first time there and had a blast. 2 of us sat at a hi top table for 6 since all the seats were taken by parties. Enjoyed the other 3 people that joined us. The band was amazing! Cold Shott & Hurricane Horns were on fire. Servers great. Only has whisky but the mixed drinks looked good. read more

Well the music was amazing and the sound system was stellar but it is insulting and rude to charge $14 per drink, water it down then serve tap water. Have some class! read more

So much fun! My husband and I went as a last minute date and walked in around 10:30pm we were able to sit at the priority seating (lounge chairs instead of stool) it's a small place and you can see the stage from anywhere in the restaurant. The security guard was really kind and was telling us about upcoming events and gave us a flyer. People were totally Into the music and the musicians made it really personable. The servers were dressed in beautiful flapper style dresses or they had suspenders with a nice white collared shirt. I was so happy to know that it was down the street from where I live and I will surely be going back VERY SOON!!! read more
