My husband and I had a night together away from our children. From all the places in Akron, we have choose to enjoy our time at BLU Jazz. The stairs down to the club were kind of trashy, but inside of the club was clean and quite trendy. There was a nice band playing from New York. We were having a romantic time together. First, some kind of woman who was sitting behind us, threw a napkin at my husband and told him to get quiet. We were just sitting whispering to each other quietly and having a good time together. Then, the manager came up and ask us to leave, because, apparently, we were disturbing the show! We were sitting in a front row and were well aware of our presence and surroundings. We have done nothing inappropriate other then being affectionate to each other in a settle manner. At the door, we asked the manager what was wrong in our behavior, but nothing from what he said made sense, was objective or true. Usually, if you unaware of disturbing the peace, they should give a warning or something, or ask you to tone done, but do not kick you out without even talking! We are very well respected people in our circles, and try to go only to upscale places. Here, we paid $70 for 2 ticket to watch a nice but an average performance, and, eventually, for being kicked out for doing what the people suppose to do when they are together and love each other. We never figured out what we did so wrong. Please be aware, this is not a place for some people who are looking for a higher end venue to spend a romantic touchy-feely time together. You will be removed without a warning.

A basement jazz club that definitely has the "cool" vibe working in its favor. Every time I go, I get a different specialty cocktail and all of them have been great. The food menu is limited and comes from the restaurant upstairs, but who goes to a jazz club for the food menu? They have really had some great musicians pass through the place. I especially like to go to Blu Jazz when its a jazz band that plays music that can be danced to...such a treat. The dance floor is small. It would be nice if Blu Jazz would remove the tables and chairs from the dance floor when they are expecting a larger number of dancers to attend for the evening.

With a brilliant owner and manager, BLU is bringing local, national and international jazz talents to Akron. One performance at a time, BLU is taking Akrons night & culture scene to the next level. As with all music venues, you must know exactly the type of music you like, once you learn that, you will be able to choose from a variety of events and ensure that you are listening to something you like. We have always received excellent service at the bar and at our tables. Expect an excellent drink, if for some reason its not, let them know and theyll take care of you. A must stop for locals and tourists alike.

My wife and I live in pennsylvania we went to akron to checkout Marcus Anderson. We had an amazing time. I had the shrimp and grits and my wife had the fish tacos food was on point or waiter Mike did a great job handling all of his tables. Mike needs a raise lil. The show was awesome Marcus Anderson put on a great show and to and James Orr from pieces of a dream simply amazing. I would recommend blujazz+ to everyone if you ever get to akron ohio make this spot a place to visit while you are there. Great great blujazz+ we will be back

Great little place. The back entrance and multiple steps down into the basement makes it feel like a speak easy. The small plates were great, and service was excellent. There is a cover charge for the band (around $20), but the prices on food and drinks were pretty cheap, so all in it was about average. Id go back.

Where is 3 Point? Julie we miss you! Im not at all impressed. Menu is overpriced. Crawfish Beignets were not what we thought they were going to be. Rems like everything we love has went downhill. Dirty martini was on point though. Customer service can be upgraded. Owner was clear, we were not on his radar.

Great experience it was our first time coming! Food was great and the drinks were great! But we had poor service our waitress was very forgetful she didnt check on us often she even accidentally charged us for another party it was fixed thankfully. I liked it I hope my partner will give them another chance!

Awesome venue. One of the hidden gems of Akron. Has the feel of a speakeasy as it is located below ground level. Easy parking in the deck next door. Brings in both local and national talent to entertain. Amazing bourbon selection. Great for a date night, to take a client, or just an evening of jazz

The best place to hear jazz in Akron, Ohio! Awesome staff, awesome drinks, awesome food, and incredible music, a lot of which is local but world class, but they also feature touring jazz musicians, and other special events. If you havent been to BLU Jazz, try it soon and often!

Jason Capener

The service was fast and the staff was super friendly. I do regret not getting food while I was there, it looked phenomenal. Maureen Choi Quartet was hands down one of the best and intense performances Ive seen. Its music that moves your soul.

Danny Renner

Thank you BLU staff for an awesome night. Ducked in for a show and ended up staying for the DJ afterwords. DJ was a little overwhelming but the jazz swung and the drinks were delicious.

Anthony Rohner

Great underground (literally) club with wonderful live performances. Definitely a bit expensive, but well worth it. Been there a few times, and its one of the coolest places in Akron.

Jeremey Poparad

Great sounding room for live jazz, with consistently excellent jazz groups, great food, bar, staff, and atmosphere. Cover charges are cheap, too! Usually less than $20 for every show!

What a hidden gem in akron. A wonderful venue to drink, dance and listen to jazz music. The drinks seemed a little expensive, but they were mixed well and worth the price.

Byron Mitchell

One of the top places to go for great jazz in Akron. Ran by great people. We come up from Pittsburgh just to hear and have fun with great fans of good jazz !

A great jazz club in the heart of Akron. The food and drink are excellent. But more importantly, they have a great sounding room with world class musicians.
