Andy's Jazz Club

Whereas most other jazz clubs are strictly a listen and drink experience, Andy's Jazz Club, originally opened in 1951 to entertain the pressman from the burgeoning newspaper industry, also offers an American dinner menu. The options range from steak and salmon to nice bites like chips and guac or truffle fries to nibble with a cocktail. Local performers cover a range of styles from traditional and swing to bop, fusion, Latin and even beatbox sax seven nights a week. For those who wish to dine at the full service restaurant, be sure to make reservations in advance unless you don't mind being seated at the bar. Doors open every day at 4:30pm and the first band begins at 5pm. There is a cover (cash preferred) even if you're dining at the restaurant. The club is conveniently located within walking distance of the Magnificent Mile.
