Reviews for Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club in Bethesda, MD

I had a good time. The show started on time. Do not be late. I was 3 minutes late and the show had started. The mics were too... low for most of the performance and you can hear the people in the lobby,which was very disruptive. We had to do lots ofshhhhhhushing to quiet people down. If you have to sit in the stadium seating,it was a little tight and hard to eat your foodcomfortably. Try and get a table if possible or be forewarned. I did enjoy the show and it made up for any irritations. Read more

Parking can be tricky, especially coming from out of town and not being familiar with the area. Nice location- Bethesda. Love... the intimacy of the space. No bad seats. Front tables may even guarantee a spot in the show. Was here for the DC black Broadwayproduction of Grease - my nephew is a cast member. About 10 of us in our party. Didn't order food because we had planned to eatat a local restaurant afterwards. Glad because food seemed to be brought out in plastic containers. A bit disruptive to havewait staff constantly come out during the show asking if we wanted drinks/food. Wait time was too long - one drink came outclose to end of show. Not sure if company sets price or venue, but $90@ticket is pricey for local theatre. Website originallysaid there was a $20 min food order included in ticket when we purchased. That mysteriously disappeared. Would patronize againto offer support to family and friends. Read more

Google won't allow me to post my full comment about how horrible the experience my friends and I had at this place. But, from... the spot opening 40 mins late while people are sweating in the sweltering humidity and pouring down rain, from the rude leadsecurity barking at patrons entering the club to droves of issues with the drinks and significantly dreadful and severely overpriced food. The experience was almost completely horrendous. There was no a/c blowing while we were waiting to be served orthroughout the night. There was a salsa dance lesson going on and that kicked up the heat. We were all sweating. We were alsovery over dressed. The swanky wasn't swanking at all. Zero need to put effort in your attire. The yum yum shrimp were very goodbut over-priced. The show was exceptional, loved the Salsa dancers. What we've determined as a group is that, we'll support theacts coming through when they perform at other venues. But, we will NEVER return to this venue that forces you to purchase $20in poor quality goods as a part of entry after paying to enter. Read more

The venue was nice, however sitting in seats off the floor, at a cost of $75.00; I thought it was inappropriate that we couldn't... be served. In order for us mature adults to have to climb stairs and then desend from the Gallery to purchase food and drinks,I was astounded. I drove from Delaware to DC in order to observe the show, I will reconsider in the future. Read more

Nice venue and show - we went to a Sunday evening Stokely show and sat in the non-main area and was satisfied. Next time we'll... try the table top area. The food was delivered in plastic take-out containers, so it isn't the usual dining experience, perhapsbecause of the pandemic. Highly recommend. Read more

This is a nice club to see performers and enjoy an evening out with friends and family. The tables on the main floor are close... together so get there early so you don?t have to navigate through so many people. The food and drinks are pretty good and theprices are reasonable. There is stadium styled seating in the back with approximately 8 rows of chairs. You can order drinks andfood from the bar area and bring it back to your seat if you sit in the back stadium seats. The sound quality and acoustics ofthe musical performances is good as well. Read more

Four stars for a nice venue and a good variety of performers. Good acoustics. Food is ok. Not great, not horrible. Acceptably... decent. Drinks are expensive, but I guess that goes with the situation. Staff was nice, friendly and attentive, especiallyconsidering the crowd. I was a bit turned off with the bill. A 20% gratuity was added, with a supposedly "custom" tip. Thecustom part was on top if the already claimed 20%. Regardless, the music was good, and we had fun. Will be back. Read more

I have been to Bethesda Blues many many times for so many events : live concerts, comedy shows and more. I enjoy myself every... time. I love the options of artists they showcase. The tickets are reasonably priced. Now post Covid they changed management orfood vendor & their food prices has increased ALOT! I do think that is ridiculous. You could eat before you arrive, but youstill have to purchase something like drinks or dessert. Overall I always have a great time and enjoy the performance. Read more
