Chris' Jazz Cafe - Philadelphia

If you like real jazz, this is absolutely the place for you! I honestly think it’s the best jazz bar in Philly and have been coming here off on for well more than a decade. On top of their resident local musicians, they also welcome a variety of musicians from all over the world for one-night only gigs, which are also worth seeing. And the staff are always great. Friendly service and just plain fun to be around. One of Philly’s “hidden gems” that’s actually right in the middle of center city, just not in plain sight.

Walking by late night kinda lost and heard great music. Dropped in and found truly great music. Bass piano trumpet all fun music with real artistry. Wonderful experience. Stayed to late night and new musicians joined. Just kept getting better. Best fun in downtown Philly.

It's one of the best jazz places in Philadelphia. We enjoyed our jazz night by listening to talented Maci Miller and Webb T’s Superband!

Always a great time at Chris. Food is excellent. I am always please with the menu selections. Drinks were well made, one of the best Dirty Martini's I've had in a long time. And lastly the music oh the music loved it. If you want a small intermit setting Chris' it is. Highly Recommend.

The service and ambiance were excellent. We were walk-ins on a Saturday night and didn't have to wait at all. There’s a $30 minimum for tables closer to the stage, along with a one-drink minimum per person. The band was fantastic! Be sure to check their website to see the schedule of performances for each night. They also have a great selection of beers.
