Jazz Club in Baltimore! This is a true world class jazz venue right here in Baltimores Harbor East. The food is good and the prices are very reasonable. The top talent in the JAZZ biz hold forth on a regular basis, and this is an experience we need to preserve. Always the best jazz players around, and a great experience. The pics in this review show the legendary bassist Ron Carter, accompanied by the great Russel Malone on guitar, and Donald Vega on piano. Ron Carter has laid legendary tracks on so many epic jazz tracks, he is the absolute top of the top! Get down there!

Ive performed here with the great Roy Ayers several times, its one of the top notch venues for live jazz on the East Coast. Legends have graced the stage, and the staff is wonderful. The food is outstanding, and the proprietor (Todd) is an awesome human being. Long live this place.

I absolutely loved this place. The setup is perfect in the tradition of an old-time jazz supper club. Intimate and warm, not a bad seat in the house. I came down from Philadelphia for the show and it far exceeded my expectations. On top of everything else, the service was attentive and the food was delicious. Highly, highly recommended.

Absolutely would recommend going to this place!! Music and atmosphere was amazing and the butter cake was the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life! Do yourself a favor and order the butter cake and one of their delicious cocktails.

My first time there to see legendary musician Roy Ayars. Loved the atmosphere, but not too pleased with my appetizer order of wings.And, I had to send back my cocktail beverage because it was a little too spicy!However, I do plan to go back for another show soon!

Went there last night for happy hour the website said outdoor music on Wednesdays. Ummm nope nothing outside went inside there was music but evidently it was the band warming up. Asked the host for a table he seemed confused ran off to confer with someone then seated us. We ordered drinks thinking it was happy hour. We asked about happy hour menus and was told that it was for outdoor seating only. Odd we went there a couple of Wednesdays ago and got Happy Hour inside. So no music, no happy hour, poor service, mandatory 20% gratuity and 2 drinks ended up costing us $38. We decided to go elsewhere for dinner. Too bad I really wanted to like this place.

Finally, a comfortable jazz club w/good food and great jazz here in Baltimore. Historically, Baltimore was the hot bed of great jazz but somehow the venues were wiped out. All that has been left for decades is An Die Music, great jazz but not a wine & dine place and summers, outdoors at the BMA (Baltimore Museum of Art). Keystone Corner has brought back the fuller jazz experience, with excellant food worth the visit for itself. But I support all venues, grateful they are here.

Excellent venue to enjoy music. Food and service was fine. A variety of seating choices: booths and tables (many with good views of the stage), as well as bar seating. Monitors showing performers on stage are placed throughout club. Looking at the upcoming shows, management is working hard to bring a good variety of jazz acts. I hope the public will continue to support this classy establishment.

An amazing new venue and restaurant for Baltimore! I ordered the rib eye and it was cooked to perfection, with flambed bananas foster for dessert. The vibe was a perfect match for the amazing performance we saw by some of Baltimores biggest names in jazz. The staff was warm and welcoming. Cant wait to come back! Thank you Keystone Korner for creating such a wonderful environment to support live music and jazz!

I thought the venue layout was not conducive to being a Jazz Club. Your are not able to see full stage from every seat in the venue. To address full stage viewing deficiency, they have huge TV screens placed throughout the venue connected to a camera feed of the stage. Although the feed was LIVE, there was a noticeable delay in the playback. However, the delay was not enough for me to have any consternation about the performance or performers. Marcus Johnson and band were on point and I very much enjoyed their set.The food and service were excellent and I will definitely plan a return visit to Keystone Korner.

My wife and I were in Baltimore for a conference and were excited to experience some of your great seafood and restaurant scene.Although we made reservations, we cancelled them and elected to sit at a mostly empty bar. We were greeted warmly by the bar manager who was well spoken and very knowledgeable of all of his draught beers. He indulged my wife and my tastes with several different samples of beer before we finally made our choice. We ordered a dozen or so raw oysters as they were a buck each during happy hour (score!) and we both ordered entress from the restaurant week dinner menu. I got the steak and she had the mussels which were served in a coconut sauce of some type. Presentation was great. Time from order to table was short. Everything cooked to our standards and the staff were friendly but were clearly transitioning into the dinner rush, so werent exactly in the talking mood.All in all, I would highly recommend this place if youre down near the waterfront.

Review №42

The artists are fantastic but be warned a stranger might sit at your table. Despite purchasing premium tickets and several other tables being empty, staff might seat another party at your table. So long great view of the stage, hello back of someone’s mullet and neck strain. So long romantic night out, hello forced small talk. Be warned you must “buy out the table” despite that NOT being mentioned clearly on their website but I’m told they’ll “work on it”.

Cant rate it. They said the band had finished and we couldnt have a drink. We had to give them a name of someone who invited us. When I did give him a name he told me that person did not check in. We left.

Fabulous Jazz Club! New Baltimore version of classic San Francisco Jazz Club! Well worth the drive from DC. Top nationally known jazz artists. Jazz talent on high level of Blues Alley. We saw Steve Turre and a sextet of highly talented energetic jazz musicians. Food & Service both excellent. My brothers and I had a great time! We highly recommend.Addendum! 9/15/19. We went back to the club last night to see Christian McBride world renowned Jazz Bassist... He did not disappoint! First class jazz music in an intimate venue... Simply Fabulous!The food and service are a excellent! This spot is clearly one of the very best Jazz Clubs in the country.

Venue is very nice in a large development area thats still developing. Large bar and big seating area and a lounge area too. Completely empty on Wednesday at 5:00pm. We were hungry and ordered a ton of food. Heres the rundown. Margarita flatbread and chicken flatbread werent particularly special but they were decent. Grilled calamari was an interesting twist on fried calamari. Just wish they were in a more interesting sauce - the grilled taste was hardly noticeable. The poutine (traditionally, fries with cheese curds and gravy) was a decent rendition but the gravy was very different having a darker and heavier taste. The fries part was very good - they were thick cut and crispy on the outside. The French onion soup was very good with a strong unctuous flavor that is often missing. It had a good portion of fried onions on top. The star of the meal were the white wine mussels and the Thai mussels. The white wine broth was rich and full of flavor. The Thai broth was mildly spicy muted by coconut and lemongrass flavors. For dessert, both the dark chocolate pudding and the butter cake were a good way to end the meal. The service was great but again, we were the only patrons there at the time. Hopefully this place will survive until the area is fully built out. It looks like a great place to come and hang out and have a beer, get some tasty grub and relax.

Tgecworse place ever. Please believe me. The food was awful. My husband and i went on valentines day. The bar tender made my drink over twice and it was still horrible. I asked for a margarita, how can u not make a margarita. It tasted like pure lime juice. Listen i am not the one to complain but please trust me, this place is bad business. We spent over 100 dollars too. So disappointed. The band was old, and didnt sound to great.

This is a nice date spot. The bartenders are wonderful as are the drinks they create. The space is nicely designed and has been arranged perfectly for jazz sets. As a (older) millennial, I found the crowd to be a little...experienced, but I didnt come for the crowd, so thats okay. Minnie, our bartender, was wonderful and welcoming. I did not have food, but there is a full dinner menu that looked to have some good offerings.

Nice atmosphere, decent sitting in the entire club. Excellent views of stage from the monitors throughout the club, meaning there are no bad seats.

Just went to see Roy Ayers tonight. Great show!!!!We carried our 97 year old mother who uses a wheelchair. There is a different entrance with a lift. However, no one could get the lift to work. So three strong men (who worked there) picked mom up to get her to the main floor. They were very careful with her. We ordered a crabcake and crab corn chowder. I cant say that either was that great. The food was expensive, too. When the show was over, Gregory (not sure if he was the manager) found 2 more men to carry mom downstairs. Again, they were kind and careful. Gregory even carried our ticket to the valet. We enjoyed our time and plan to return.

We visited from Charleston, SC. I ordered fried sea bass but it was a tad bit salty tonight. The manager quickly corrected the problem. I tried crab cake and it was divine . Since Charleston is known for good seafood, they had a lot to live up to and they surpassed my expectations. The music was great. Very nice ambiance and great service by entire team. We will be back! I wish the business much success!
