Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club has quickly become a treasure unique to downtown Portsmouth. The acts that come to play here are world class and deliver attendees an amazing musical experience. The acoustics are out of this world. There are multiple bars throughout this extraordinarily beautiful facility. Be sure to go for dinner ahead of the show. The food is fantastic and makes for a wonderful evening.
Just what this area needs! This is an awesome venue and they have done a tremendous job inside. We had a great meal with even better service. The seats were great and the performance was awesome. It was a little pricey so it won’t be a regular date night out for us but it’s great for something special to do occasionally. Looking forward to the next show we see here.
My 1st time there and the place is absolutely stunning! Service and staff were phenomenal and very attentive. The only complaint I have was the seating. Purchased online tickets from the seating chart by the bar area. When We arrived there was a brick wall blocking the stage view. We could only see microphones. Two big screen TVs mount on the wall, but couldn’t see because of the high bar table filled with other patrons. Could only hear my favorite singer. The Manger was attentive as well and told us he would find better seating, however after 1 and a half hour, it was evident that I paid money to hear Lisa Fisher rather than see her. We left in mid concert as there was no possible way to enjoy. This is not to say anything awful about the venue, but rather to say remove those tables as they are only good for listening rather than seeing.
Truly magnificent venue to attend a live musical experience. Acoustics are top notch, food is at the high end of Portsmouth restaurants, service is exceptional, acts are lining up to get a chance to play this venue. Check it out!
The owners and management absolutely nailed it. If 10 years from now northern New England has a thriving Jazz scene, it will be because of Jimmy's. If it doesn't, it's because everyone within a 1.5 hour drive of Portsmouth, NH squandered a generational opportunity. The space is both beautiful and functional, as in visually very appealing while not sacrificing good acoustics. The food was flavorful, if perhaps lacking a little heat, but that may just be to make it palatable to New England tastes. The drinks are reasonably priced and sized. I don't remember being this excited about a place opening. While there will always be something special about seeing a Jazz act in a cramped overcrowded club in NYC, Jimmy's is overall a better experience. Edit 01/07/2022: Just saw my third show last night and have to say I'm just as excited about this place as I was after the first show, in fact I'll be going again next month. First, additional praise...1. The sound person is doing a phenomenal job. Last night's performance included piano, stand-up bass, drums, and electric guitar. From my seat near the middle of the main floor the balance between the electric guitar and the acoustic instruments couldn't have been better. The guitar never overpowered nor got lost. 2. Changing up the drink specials. The "Bee Valley" didn't suit my tastes, but I appreciated the idea. The "Wintertide Manhattan" was very nice. Suggestions...1. Get an onsite ATM if you are going to continue to accept CASH ONLY for purchase of post-performance cds/vinyl. 2. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put felt or plastic glides on the chairs so they slide across the wood floor instead of chatter when someone shifts their seat. Critcism...I'll have to agree with several others that food prices are out of line with portion sizes/quality. The food is good, but not exceptional. It either needs to be made exceptional or come with larger portions, or be reduced in price.
About 50% of the seats you can't see the stage at all. If you're not stage front, it's really not worth it. I sat section 501 front facing baclony in seats 5/6, in this section seats 3/4 are really the only two worth buying. I tried to stand as my entire view was blocked but was asked to sit by the usher as I was "blocking the view" of the seats in the riser behind me. Others were aloud to stand be I was told I was "too tall"
This venue never disappoints. Great Music, Amazing Food, and friendly wait and seating staff. This night we experienced GA-20, what a show!!!
Our first time at Jimmy's- we will definitely come back. Customer service means a lot to us and the staff went Above and Beyond. The venue is fantastic - we felt like we weee in NY or LA - top class!! Please go - it is worth the visit!!!
What a amazing venue for show. Great wine selection. Good food and cocktails menu and it’s not pricey at all. We had a cheese plate & charcuterie. We saw Kat Wright. Good show, she has an amazing voice, however she played more like folk country music and only couple jazz and blues.
Now this has been a long time coming that was worth the wait . Jazz supper clubs from the past always attracted us for the relaxed yet elegant atmosphere food and beverage and great live music. Jimmy's delivered all the way through . Drinks and service were great as was the food -try the chicken thigh apps ! The listening room itself was excellent to see and hear a show we could not see a bad seat in the house . We were fortunate to see blues focused daniel miraglia and parcneck Rare for a jazz room We will be back
