The Blue Room at Grub & Vine is our live music and cocktail lounge that pays homage to the soulful sounds of jazz and the blues. A collaborative venture between Grub & Vine's Chef Patron Matt Manning and well-known jazz artist Buddy Wells, the lounge also sports a state-of-the-art recording studio, where you'll catch musicians in action from time to time.

Located on the ground floor of 103 Bree Street, the Blue Room features a bespoke cocktail menu - with delicious concoctions such as the 'Ella Fizzgerald' (gin, lime, rhubarb, fennel and Brut MCC) and 'Muddy Waters' (Bourbon, dry sherry, vanilla maple and naartjie) - as well as a delectable selection of small plates for guests to nibble on.

The Blue Room is open for lunch from Monday - Friday, brunch on Saturdays and tapas and cocktails at night, while live performances from some of the country's top jazz, soul and blues artists will be a regular evening occurrence.

    Went here to celebrate my birthday, overall it was an amazing birthday experience( a friend of mine shared it with me via Tiktok to try it out) it was my first time there, our waiter Unathi was absolutely amazing and treated us so special the whole evening. I was a bit disappointed with the food portions(they were too small) and the meal that I ordered (lamb ribs) was too fatty I was not able to eat at all. I think this place is best if you have dinner somewhere else and then come end off the evening enjoying the cocktails (our waiter Unathi recommended this blue cocktail for me and it was absolutely delicious) and the artists performances.

    Wine recommendations were a bit weak. Also service was slow during the performance. Food was outstanding as always. The jazz was pretty good.

    I never come to Cape Town without searching out a good jazz venue. The Blue Room is the the best I know of for very good entertainment, food and comfort.
