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.

    Too few service staff so one has to wait incredibly long for a simple drink like Coke Zero. The cheese platter was unattractive in presentation and dry. We asked where the preserves were that should have been included as per menu and the kitchen said it was already on the platter whereas all that was on the platter was a smear of some dip and 3 slivers of a pickle. The dullest, priciest, cheese platter ever!

    Your CACUTERIE BOARD was poor value and definitely below standard. A great venue, beautiful decor, great sound, amazing musicians but food value very poor

    The musicians were great and such a cool ambience. However I feel scammed. My bill was over R250 more than it was suppose to be. The tip was calculated on that amount. When I was told the new amount the tip was still calculated on the higher amount. I ended up paying like a 20% tip and didn’t even eat. I notified them about this after I had paid and I got a shrug of the shoulder. Quite disappointed as I thought your staff were professional.

    We had a lovely evening and enjoyed every minute. The Blue Room is a hidden gem and a must visit when in Cape Town. Thank you for the great experience!

    Lovely experience at The Blue Room. It was our first ever visit and we liked the ambience, service and musical performance. We tried a handful of the bar snacks and on the whole they were great too.
