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.

    What a great night out. 3 of us ordered the rib-eye. Was over cooked and had way too much sinew in all the steaks. Other than that - I would go back but will order off the bar menu.

    The food wasn’t the best tasting - had the rib eye for mains with Parmesan fries , the food was cold upon arrival , the fries were bland and tasteless and the rib eye had too much of a charred taste but other than that we enjoyed the experience and the live performance

    The Blue room boasts with good jazz music, coupled with mouth watering fine dining and exceptional service. We were a group of 17 people celebrating a 40th birthday. The bookings department were swift in their response. The host on the day and the band BLAQ made the evening extra special. The host arranged for a personalized and delicious dessert 'on the house'. The band specifically dedicated a song to celebrate with us. This is the perfect place for a great night out. I will certainly visit again!
