This venue is a great place to catch all sorts of music. They always have great groups playing. Its cozy atmosphere. They have some great drinks, but not much in the food department. I guess you cant be perfect. Highly recommended.

Ive visited here several times for different events (karaoke; live band; party; etc). The bar is snug when its crowded. The drinks are good. Overall, Jazz Upfront is a unique place in Bloomington-Normal.

Ive only been here a couple times and it was decent enough. I like the idea of a jazz bar. I think the town was missing something like this Im not sure about how its executed though. I need to go back some more to see how good it really is.

Slightly more mature good times - dancing with some room to move, classic drinks without catching frat-bros Bud light overflow. Still the best music when its live. Thanks team at Upfront.
