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.

    We had several choices that were not available and when such an important Cape Town performer like Keegan Williams was playing that was most disappointing. Otherwise great night.

    Amazing experience but was disappointed that the waitress gave herself 12% tip for poor service but all in all a great way to spend a night

    The Blue Room responded on Tue 25 Mar 25:
    Thank you for your review. We apologise that the waitress didn't clearly communicate our gratuity policy. We will make sure to know with our team to be clear in this regard.

    The drinks were awesome, I think the food was quite small but delicious. Music was fun and a very good evening in general

    very entertaining. Perhaps not the "real Jazz or Blues" but music with a South African sound. Would definitely recommend it.

    I paid 206 rand ro listen for jazz music, and I choose 10:00 pm to arrive and listen after meal but the group played just 4-5 song and they end the concert. That's not good, I dressed and came there to listen at last and half hour but it ends 30 minutes. I am schocked. If it ends early why you are taking reservation at the 10:00pm? I am not happy with that. Every body elft the area very early.
