WHERE IS THE BLACK CAT SO I CAN COME THRU. I LIVE IN STOCKTON CA.
What an amazing place ! The music, the ambiance, the service :.WOW ! I didn't eat as I just had dinner before my visit. But the mixed drinks were strong and delicious, the house wine very decent,and my friends' dishes looked very good.
Black cat is always a stellar time, the talent they bring in is amazing. A small intimate venue with lovely cocktails and an extensive food menu, definitely worth an evening if you enjoy live music.

Cool place
Great entertainment and, as noted by the violinist from France, the Black Cat Club holds global importance on the jazz scene...

On the expensive side, but the food was good and well prepared only lacking a little salt of which they quickly rectified by providing some Maldon. Overall an incredible experience, with a great singer and band!

It’s a great jazz club. Show was fantastic. It’s a bit steep but to be expected. Sound system worked for the show. Our seats were ok.

The music was wonderful, the food... Meh. When the bill came, I wasn't prepared to have a 20% EXTRA CHARGE for a "Service Fee" and 10% EXTRA CHARGE for "Safety and Benefit" which I guess was for the bouncer? Then of course you're expected to leave a 20% TIP for the server.
These extra garbage fees, in my opinion is theft. I am essentially paying their overhead costs. We, as customers, should not be asked to pay an extra 30% of the bill for the bouncer's wages, or pay for their employee's health insurance. Those expenses are part of THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS.
In the future don't be surprised if they charge you for napkins, or to rent the table you sit at.
It's insulting, upsetting, and absurd to charge these fees. We will never return. That's unfortunate for both them and me because this would have been a great 'special occasion' place for us, and a nice evening out when entertaining clients. Unfortunate indeed. Eventually their greed will be their downfall

Wedge salad wasn’t that great, and come here expecting more club than jazz. Music was good! But was no nyc

Very good jazz venue, but over-priced, e.g. $19-25 Cocktails in addition to a $55 cover are not okay in the PIT of the Tenderloin!!

We loved this place. Remember kiddies read everything before you complain about the price. Don’t go if you can not afford it. If you calculate what it would cost for a big venue concert ticket with good seats and without the dinner then you will know what the costs will be. There are no surprises they make it clear about all the up charging beforehand but we believed it was reasonable in California. It’s not hard to figure out. I wouldn’t bring a first date here unless you want to spend on someone you don’t know well. The waitresses were so nice. They went above and beyond to take care of us. The food was absolutely amazing, steak bites, salad, Pinot noir straight out of Sonoma, the key- lime pie mmmah! Wonderfu! We did research on the bands that were playing at the venue and that made our experience that much better. Amazing talent!! K. George and Sami Steven’s were an excellent example for the Black Cat. They made me a Jazz fan for life. A vocalist and a great band combo is a winner. We will be back if we return to San Francisco without a doubt. Don’t forget to use uber too or some form of transportation like this (Wayne driverless car might go here?) to get around. It’s not a good thing to dress up really nice and walk around in the city especially certain neiborhoods like the tenderloin at night. Most people somewhat dressed up for dinner here. It was a casual dressy or dressy but not tux and evening gowns. It’s a small venue with pep! I don’t think parking is a safe option here or anywhere if your driving a rental in San Francisco. If you have a rental - it’s not recommended in the city - make sure your hotel has a locked garage and you don’t take the car out unless you are driving away from the city areas. Cars were getting broken into everywhere - so yes Uber. If you stick around and enjoyed the music there was an opportunity for us to get an autographed cd to buy after. Also Thursdays are a little slower and because our table wasn’t reserved for the second period of the night we got to stay for free and hear more tunes.This was a great place to have dinner and just have a good time. We loved everything about it! I highly recommend the Black Cat if you are in the area.
