Fun time with a live band. I was the youngest person in their probably lol. Age range about 45 to 65. It was a good time nonetheless and the drinks were really good

Me and my girls really enjoyed ourselves. The music was great the food was ok and the drinks was strong and right.

Great vibe. Good food. Amazing music

Awesome LIVE music! William Green and his Boys did that! Great food and drinks! Chris took great care of us! Social distancing but still a great time with the other patrons. Cant wait to go back.

Gr8 time. Good food. DOPE band. A staple in Atlantas live music scene.

Great live music, tasty meal and drinks. Great service. The ambiance was just perfect for the night. A lovely experience everytime I go to enjoy a night out at Cafe 290.

Excellent service. The band was great and very entertaining. Shrimp and grits was bad thou. Other than that everything was very well.

Very nice people good service social distance everyone. 1 waitress all night but we didnt even know she was great! Next time I visit ATL I will be back!

I love the venue. The jazz be to die for. The customer services is awesome and warm. The atmosphere is so comfortable. And the food is delicious. Lets not forget about the drinks!

Awesome, laid back atmosphere with great food, great music and excellent service. Off the beaten path but well worth a visit.

The best place ever!

I really enjoyed the great service, atmosphere, and live music. Im going to make this a regular spot for meeting up with friends. Very clean and social distancing.

Love the place. Food and music are nice, been going for over 10yrs

Best little secret in Sandy Springs! Best bartender, best entertainment and the best food, you cant go wrong at this spot!

Amazing atmosphere very friendly people the staff was amazing our server was Shay....absolutely amazing. Reggie Hines was performing. If you have not seen the Reggie Hines show please stop by, reserve a table, eat dinner, and just sit back and relax you will have an amazing time. We have not been to this location in almost 20 years Im so thankful that we decided to stop by. Your money definitely will not be wasted.

I absolutely love Cafe 290! The food, service, music and atmosphere consistently exceeds my expectations. Yes there is a cover charge, BUT finding music this authentic warrants the fee. I took my dad there for his birthday, it was packed and tables were full. The owner walked right over and made sure we had a table! Definitely recommend.

This spot is really layed back the food is great the music is great and so is the service my wife amen loved it

Omg the live entertainment was everything! Then the food set it off I cant wait to go back very intimate and the customer service was awesome

This place was great the music the food the drinks the atmosphere period me and my wife loved it

First time at a jazz club anywhere...glad it was 290. Lots of fun, great music, nice people.

I Love this place great food great timely courteous service, great prices and the owner is the coolest guy on the planet! I go every Tuesday for Whos Got That Vibe the hottest talent show on the planet!

Jaz is the man. I mean that. The hospitality here....... NOTHING LIKE IT. Vern the barber, good looking out on the spot. Live jazz band on one side and the other side with pool tables and pinball machines, jukebox and the bomb drinks.

Nice no frills spot. Mature crowd. The feature artist was good. The amateur talent was garbage except for one guy that played trumpet

Brass cats play twice a month on Thursday and they are worth seeing. Havent been here in a long time but my last visit was very enjoyable. The keyboard player Scott Ritchie is a friend of ours. We went to see him and was pleasantly surprised at how great the whole band was!

I enjoyed this place so much. The first time we went We didn’t know there is a $15 cover charge but the manger made sure to take care of us . We will be returning and suggest you go visit just be mindful of the cover charge

Really relaxed atmosphere. Live entertainment was incredible: engaging, good quality, and raw talent. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong--always a plus. When I return to Atlanta, Id have to come back.

Very Beautiful place ️

This is the coolest little hole in the wall spot. Took in some Jazz on my birthday! Was a lot of fun. Great cocktails too!

Safe and soultry environment

OMG! I had a great time I came on a Monday for the Big Band and I will be back. The music was everything. Drinks were nice and strong.

Perfect for grabbing wings & great music, occasional live. Food is superb. Would be nice if located in a more spacious building, a little cramped on some nights.

Very NICE atmosphere and the food was good. I had the shrimp and grits. The band was good!

The band was amazing and the food was good the service was okay. The bar service was great. I will definitely be back to listen to some great music.

The band was amazing! Karaoke night was fun. I will definitely be back!

The live music is always good. This place has been around a long time. I think its time for some remodeling. Especially when its a 15 dollar cover charge.

I arrived here after 1030pm on a Sunday...not only was it still open, not only was there live music, or that they were still serving dinner, it was CROWDED! I had the best time! I cant wait to come back! Definitely a great spot for the grown and sexy!

Good food, nice vibe

Love the live music food is really good. Where Im from it would be called a hole in the wall. It is cool chill spot!

I love cafe 290. I never have any issues when I go. Food is always good and the service is great! They always have amazing bands playing. Great spot for the grown folks vibe that Atlanta seems to lack! Trust me, you will enjoy yourself at Cafe 290!!

William Greens band was awesome

Great experience.... Planet All Stars Jazz Band was OUTSTANDING!!!!! Would be back soon.

Jazz at Cafe 290 on Monday is a classic event you should mot miss if you love “the Blues”

Great experience.. Moe the bartender is FABULOUS!!! The band was amazing loved every minute. I will be returning in the near future.

A group of us was visiting Atlanta from out of town. It was six of us, two couples each and the server asked us how we separated and we told him that way our checks would be separated. The music was good however I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and the chicken was burnt on the bottom. I sent the plate back to the kitchen and the server asked me if I wanted something else and I told him no. My uncle and boyfriend order the salmon and it was very dry and my aunt order the jerk chicken and that was cooked very well which she enjoyed.At the end of the night the server brought us one ticket and hand wrote the total that each couple had to pay on the back of the ticket stating that he couldnt separate them. As we were adding up our items on our cell phones and they were not totaling up right the server only then told us that he added 20% gratuity to our bill which was not listed on the ticket.Furthermore, the Chicken Parmesan that I sent back to the kitchen that was burnt was on the bill and then he told us that the kitchen dont take back plates so we had to pay for it. I was so upset I only took two bites out of the plate and that was never communicated to us through out the night (we were there for about 2 and half hours). That was unacceptable. Then the server said that he didnt charge me for at $7 class of wine (the Chicken Parmesan was $19). We felt were being taken advantage of because we were from out of town.The service that we received from our server was very disappointing and I would not recommend this place if you are planning on eating dinner. I would advise you to eat and drink before you come that way you can just sit back and enjoy the music.

Excellent place. Very intimate. Great fries though.

My wife and I was passing through Atlanta and stop by Cafe 290 for some live music. Food and music was great. We will be back

Loved the music! The food was not bad, either. Nice place for jazz & the singer was out of this WORLD!! Ordered the shrimp & grits. Delicious!

The Band stops playing @ 10:30p just a heads up! But staff was super friendly about it ! Sad I missed them by minutes better luck next time

Nice and cozy.. Pretty pricey I must say. But I enjoyed the band last night as we celebrated my Sista Joannes 61st Sexy Birthday!!

Good music! Good food! And even better drinks!

Café 290 is a smaller venue that offers dining tables near the stage, cocktail tables closer to the door, and bar seating that encircling approximately 50% of the full-service bar.Due to recommendations from the reviews I read we arrived shortly after 8:00 PM for the 9:00 PM starting time. Having already eaten dinner we decided to grab a cocktail table near the middle of venue, which turned out to be an excellent selection. As showtime approached the joint began to quickly fill up and it ended up being standing room only.Service was OK, although it did seem that our waitress wasnt very attentive and the only way that we were able to get drinks was to stop her as she walked by us. Perhaps it was just me, but she seemed to be ignoring us compared to the service she was providing to the remainder of her tables.

It was an okay facility, needs a little cleaning in the back. Had to ask for our table to be cleaned, but the food and band was great.

Awesome atmosphere. Love the Jazz. Eat before you go.

Love this venue.. Happy New Year. Thanks for having is again

Always a great time...ambience and live music on point...as is the management:)

J.Saxxx has a melody that fills the soul. The sound that inspires thoughts of a gentle wind breeze

Such a fun place and authentic atmosphere. Jazz is phenomenal and the performers know how to engage the crowd- the whole place was laughing and having an amazing time. The food is also really tasty with great prices - get the ribeye with mashed potatoes! You won’t be disappointed

This is Atlanta best jazz bar. I love this place. Every act that they bring in, is awesome. The only bad thing is the service. The waitresses are usually nice, but there is never enough of them. They seem to be eternally short staffed. The wait to be served can get ridiculous.

Good music and atmosphere. Good bar food .... Definitely will return.

This is one of my favs in Atlanta. The staff is spot on. And the bartenders...OMG...just the best. A legend in Atlanta. You need to check them out. Oh, did I forget the bands. Unforgettable.

The place is really small so if you want a good seat you have to come early. The jazz is modern and they have live musicians entertaining. The crowd is older and the atmosphere is relaxed. The employees are cool and the food is fantastic!

This place is breathtaking. Its for the grown adults to enjoy them selfs. Great music and live band to entertain the crowd

You cant beat $10 cover for one of the best big bands in the country! The catfish was excellent! Dont miss this one! Joe Gransden and the band appear every other Monday.

The band was excellent in addition to the wings!! A nice cozy hideout!!

Look a here this the spot. Weekends are the best. Great drinks, food, and the music. The music is so beautiful.

Service, class, style ... Wonderful experience ... will be returning soon ...

The Jazz Band is Out Cold. I had a great time.

Pretty awesome place. Had a great time. Prices are fair

This place is amazing. I went on a school trip and the band was great and the service was amazing. Everyone is so kind and helpful. This is a great experience. They opened early for us to go before a musical and i’m so glad we went. I will definitely be coming again.

Great music! And unfortunately in my experience usually if the music is good, the food is the opposite, but great music and food.

The venue that was advertised was not there. I called weeks ahead for reservations for 12 people. They told me would get an area with a sofa etc. We were jammed in a corner in the very back and 5 of us had to stand. The place was run down and dirty. The carpet was awful and so were the restrooms. The music wss good, I was embarrassed that I took our group there.

Great places to relax and get your drinking on plus hear some good music..

Amazing music. Such a fun night.

Great Jazz! Shrimp Parmesan was excellent! Nice atmosphere to unwind and let the music take you away. Lots of first dates there.

Great place for live music, good food and drinks

Still one of the best live music venues in the city.

Great music fair food pricing. I will visit again

I went last Night and The Band was Amazing! I will definitely be back soon!

If youre in or around the Atlanta area, and looking for live Jazz, Cafe 290 is a long standing, solid source. Monday nights a few times a month, theres Joe Grandsdens Big Band made up of some of Atlantas finest artists. The night I went, a solid band with a cabaret singer performed- enjoyed! Call ahead or check online to make sure its a show of interest to you. If youre a Jazz Lover, a musician or simply in the neighborhood, worth checking out.

The best place for intimate date. Food good and live music on point.

Very nice jazz club for the adult crowd with love band

The band was good. The place itself needs an upgrade. Carpet smells old.

Mostly because my cousin Wes was playing there :) but the door guy was especially gracious while I grabbed a quick breath of air and smoked a cigarette letting me go out and back in without trouble, and the staff was so friendly like family and I loved the intimate atmosphere. The bathrooms could use a little sprucing or work, but other than that it was awesome.

Had a great time at the talent show.

Wings, music and service were great.

Classic jazz club. The best place in town in my opinion. I hope this place never disappears

Excellent music and ambiance, great service and fun

Really nice cafe good place i had come here with my friend and such a beautiful place to spend some really nice time with really nice cup of coffee, the staff is really good. 5 stars!!!

GREAT TIME! First time visiting location, but it was excellent. Staff was absolutely friendly, bartender (James?) was an excellent conversationalist eventhough bar was full and the Food was really good. But the live BAND and young lady singing was better than the mozzarella sticks . Parking lot was something to be desired, but Ill be back again.

@ThePhunkhouse Artist Spotlight Night every 4th Wednesday is out of this world !!!!!!!

I love this place.. Ill definitely be back!

Great atmosphere and on Tuesday nights they have a talent show graded by singing aficionados! Had a great time would definitely recommend!

Warm and friendly vibe. Amazing energy. Great food. Ill be back!

BEST LIVE MUSIC IVE HEARD THUS FAR!!!

Great place for 30 and older. And they have a sports area.

Great music nice atmosphere great drinks lot of food

Nice spot to hear some live music. Owner is nice. Bathrooms could use some renovation. Atmosphere is laid back. Overall it’s a decent spot.

Really enjoyed my visit. Came for a Billy Holiday Tribute with a business partner. The music was delightful/phenomenal band that evening. Wait staff was a little slow and the venue wasnt packed. While the service was slow, the staff was polite and professional. Great way to unwind during the week!

Loved the live Jazz band, the atmosphere was definitely grown and sexy. The food was delicious, The staff was overly welcoming mad you feel right it home! Over ALL It was the best experience I have had in a long time. I cant wait to return!

Throughly Enjoyed
