I made a mistake and booked the wrong night. I called to change it, but they wouldn’t allow it, even though there was space available.

Been going for years….No more!!!

Can you believe it!!

Manager was very accommodating to us when the seating had to be rearranged for a big band. Great cocktails too.

Cool atmosphere. Small and intimate. Shrimp and grits pretty good, and I don’t usually like shrimp and grits. Expect to easily pay $100 per person for a show.

Initial hostess was very friendly. Bartender (lady, blond?, curly hair) Sunday 3/1 at 9:30 pm show- pretty terrible. Didn’t acknowledge me until another server came over to the bar. Didn’t talk to me again the whole time. Had to struggle to get my check at the end. Maybe because of the automatic 22% service charge they add, there’s no incentive for her to try? Also, last place and only new place I used my card before it got compromised today. Just saying

*4 stars because I like that this place provides a venue for jazz/jazz-adjacent music.

Fantastic local talent, very expensive for what the served, club has a great vibe, but neighborhood worst I have ever been in. I am from NYC , so not bothered by big city problems, but people shooting up and smoking crack outside the front door is a deal breaker. SF , get your act together, you are handcuffing this and other businesses ...

Went twice. Great music and food, but the beverage program needs work. The $14 mocktails were way too sweet to drink on our second visit, and even the replacements didn't improve.

With taxes and the automatic fees added to the bill, we paid $56 for a bottle of pelegrino and two mocktails we couldn't drink.

It felt like poor value for the price point.

Music was wonderful. Service was atrocious. They also charge you $4 for your mixer. Like gin and pineapple is the gin price and 4 dollars for the pineapple. Which is interesting and never heard of. Bartender was so rude it was crazy.

Nice intimate jazz lounge. Musical artist are great and you feel like you are part of the band. Food is surprisingly good. Service manages the crowd the best possible with a professional and friendly approach. Seating in some areas can feel a little tight which could be tolerated a little more if it didn't get so hot and stuffy. I'm not sure if there's a ventilation, HVAC, another issue or because this venue is underground that keeps the room hot and stuffy but this puts a definite damper on the experience.

Wonderful venue and show! It has limited seating with guests that stay for hours and overhead costs in every direction. Good job making it work for live jazz! If you’re more eager to scrutinize a moderate spend than appreciate a unique experience, it’s probably better to pass

I saw the Joel Frahm Trio at the Black Cat Jazz Supper Club, and the entire experience was phenomenal. The venue itself is intimate and stylish, the kind of place that sets the perfect tone for a night of great music. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My meal was absolutely delicious—beautifully prepared and full of flavor. And the music… truly sensational. The Joel Frahm Trio lit up the room with incredible energy, artistry, and connection.

If you’re looking for a special night out filled with outstanding food, exceptional service, and world-class jazz, the Black Cat is a must. I can’t wait to go back.

The visiting band was great. Everything else was mediocre, and the hospitality was terrible.

This establish hides fees in layers, ticket price, service fee for ticket, over priced food and drinks, 22% service charge, arbitrary minimum order amount, and then a really pushy attitude if you don't order food and drink at the pace you want. This ruins the whole experience.

When asked the owner rudely tells me this is the cost of business, I should understand this is a business. This could all be solved if they were up front about costs, but instead they decide to hide it and make you feel like the idiot for not understanding how businesses work.

If you want to listen to jazz music do so elsewhere.
