The Blue Room: A Harmonious Fusion of Jazz and Gastronomy

Located beneath the popular Grub & Vine bistro on Bree Street, The Blue Room is a jazz club and cocktail lounge that is a magnet for live music lovers in Cape Town. The club showcases some of the country’s top jazz, soul, and blues performers in a space that evokes the atmosphere of a secret speakeasy. With raw brick and blue walls, a curvy wooden ceiling, and leather seating, The Blue Room provides an intimate and cozy ambiance, enhanced by candlelight, mirrors, and a sophisticated menu.

Saturday Jazz Brunch

The Blue Room’s Saturday Jazz Brunch is the perfect way to ease into the weekend. It features a delectable menu, with bottomless bubbly from Graham Beck, or a Bloody Mary and mimosa, if you prefer. The sharing-plates seasonal menu includes delightful dishes such as ricotta gnocchi, Scotch egg with roasted onion and truffle, grilled sardine with smoked tomato, and Toulouse sausages with BBQ beans. For dessert, you can savor cinnamon churros with chocolate sauce, honey cake with caramelized chocolate cremeux, or a selection of South African cheeses.
