Really cool basement bar with free live Jazz music! Enjoyed some good classic cocktails on menu, and you can donate to the local musicians.
Great place to stop by if you are in the area. Come a little before 9pm before the main performing musicians start playing to get a good seat.

Great spot for Jazz in Austin and a well crafted martini. The line to get in moved quick enough (30 mins) and it was very satisfying to see people attempt to cut only to be sent back upstairs. It is definitely worth it for the atmosphere and music. Enjoy.

Great place for Jazz and drinks! Hidden underground Austin jazz bar...very limited seating and not fancy but you feel "fancy" since the music is awesome

Cool basement jazz club. Dark, moody, not too loud with a pretty good jazz band. Drinks were good, atmosphere was light, great way to end our last night in Austin. From the outside there isn't anything to see but a few signs and the name in neon in a window that barely shows at sidewalk level. You almost feel like you are walking into a hidden joint going down the stairs. Check it out, no pressure, just people hanging out and enjoying some good music.

When in Austin during SXSW this little joint is a must. Hidden in the basement with a good vibes. Live bands and drinks always soothes the soul.
UPDATED REPLY: During these times of a pandemic there isn't too much to be done in a small venue and expecting to be socially distant with sanitized measures taken. Cheers to the doorman, waiters and bartenders cause the struggle is really real!

We love the elephant room! What a cool place to visit a basement off Congress to listen to some cool jazz music. His place is very intimate and can get loud. If you want to talk I'd suggest sitting further away from the stage. You're into the music and just want to watch and listen, head up front. Good selection of drinks and the staff is nice and friendly.

Very cool jazz bar. Came on a Monday night (admittedly memorial Day long weekend) but was still bustling, 3/4 full and fun

Our favorite underground jazz bar! Such a great place to see jazz performances and it's a small environment for those that don't like big crowds but is very comfortable and the musicians have been fantastic! And they serve great drinks!
