Everyone has said it already, this place is the definition of intimate (in the friendliest PG-13 way possible).
I came by with a group of ~8 one evening to listen to a local jazz band. I haven't had much experience with live music, but I definitely enjoyed it! The space is pretty tight, all the more reason to get closer to those around you. :)
For the shows, the lights are dimmed, and the music sounds like it's coming from all around you, without the need for speakers. The musicians are usually very personal, and as others have mentioned, they'll come around with a donation basket rather than charge a cover fee at the door.
As for the menu, they have a nice selection of beers, wines (there's an excellent Chianti), and teas (really impressive--try one!). I didn't have any of the food myself but I heard the desserts are delicious.
Overall... a perfect date for music and wine enthusiasts!
A small intimate music venue with big sound and welcoming atmosphere. I went to the Sean Mecher show and never being here before didn't know what to expect. The place is very small, but I had no trouble getting a seat at the bar at 7:40 for the 8 pm show. And they have half price happy hour before 8 with a nice beer selection that is already cheaper prices than I'm used to.
There was no cover-just a donation request part way through the show. The five person band that barely fit on the little stage and put on a 90 minute full-on show that I would gladly have paid an admission charge to see.
If you like live music in an intimate venue, this place is for you! They have a variety of musical acts from blues, jazz and bluegrass to Irish night and even Turkish music with belly dancers. This is a tiny venue, but the acoustics are good and the focus is on the musicians. This is definitely not background music. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass and their draft beer selection is always stellar with some of the best local brews on tap. The food options are simple but delicious, not to mention affordable. I can't give this place enough praise. Give it a try!!
Review Source:What a great discovery. I went here to see Port Veritas and it was packed. A glass of chianti, tempranillo, then bites of rice/spiced wrapped in grapes leaves (and fresh baugettes)....I found the experience relaxing, and suprisingly affordable.The service was attentive without being intrusive. I am looking forward to coming back to hear music.
Review Source:Magic. Â One of the best venues I've been in, in any town. Â Intimate and cozy, friendly and neighborly. Â
Listen to local legends like Samuel James and Dana Gross play like they are in the living room of your good friend. Â
Always good beer on tap, and a well curated wine list. Â The food is home, yet sophisticated - the pasta bowl, the olives, Barry's hummus.
Barry and Terez make this place feel like the hippest B&B you've ever seen.
Nice place to check out the local music scene. Â The night we were here Luna Madidus, a band from up north of here, was headlining. Â They were excellent--great musicians and great selections, some original stuff--very impressive.
The venue itself is small but lends itself to an intimate experience. Â We enjoyed wine with the marcona almonds and I splurged on a dessert of ice cream with a yummy sherry. Â Would come here more often if we didn't live 5 hours drive from here.
Blue is a cozy little room with everything you want in a small music venue. They've got a nicely edited wine and beer list and just a few items to nosh on: cheese, bread, olives, desserts and a couple of dishes you could make a meal out of like Baked Meatballs, mmm. Â
The music is immediate and intimate, mostly jazz, blues, old-time, and singer-songwriters, and there is never a cover. The crowd seems to be a mix of folks who come out to see the artists and those who want to meet friends for a drink and enjoy the music while they chat. This can be a tough balance to pull off, but when it's right, there's a great casual, social atmosphere. Â The staff is also super friendly and helpful, so I have no complaints. Â Except that Portland is too cold for me to live there and go to Blue all the time!
