Cezanne is a true jazz club. Unassuming, not fussy. Just extraordinary artists and an appreciative audience. Good drinks. Highly recommend if you want to hear great jazz music with great ambiance.

Here is free advice get another waitress and they will double the drink tab. Everything else is good but yo really have to wait ...........

Wonderful jazz venue. Up close with musicians. Good cocktails. They seriously need more waiters.

The place was small - only held about 30 people, but the jazz was always great, and the size of the room made it really intimate. Unfortunately, it closed on December 15. Will truly miss it.

Wonderful musicians...intimate setting. Definitely for the true Jazz lovers!! One of the best in Houston!! It is a bit stifling inside so dont over dress. They are getting a new location soon.

It’s a very cozy place (I was touching the stranger next to me) with good live music. There is a $10 cover charge, and each guest is required to buy one drink per set. Bottled water (tap water isn’t available) is $6.00, and there is a 20% gratuity automatically added to the bill. The music was good, and everyone is sitting so close to the musicians. I saw no problems with the hostess or waitstaff like other reviewers complained about.

It is located upstairs in the piano room. Cover was $15 per person, card only. Must order one drink per person, per set. You can get water, which is $6. The chocolate raspberry martini (first item on the menu) is very good. Very pricey though. Music was good. Place is small. Bartenders/waitresses goes around too frequently which was distracting but aight.

Great place for Jazz addicts in the Montrose area. Sized like a huge main living room, it provides a regular sized bar, great drinks, seats for about 100 people and close contact to the musicians who play directly in front of you. Concerts are usually on Fridays and Saturdays, and the concerts start at 9:00 PM.

Really cozy! They could get better chairs though Bc you sit the entire time and my back kind of hurt. Also they only had one bar lady for a full house and so the service was slow but definitely a chill/cute place for simple/casual night out

I am biased because Im one of the musicians who sometimes performs here. Cezanne is the most prestigious jazz club in Houston. It is intimate, a small room and a very tight fit. If you ever wanted to be up close and personal with a jazz band, this is the place to go.The jazz performed at Cezanne tends to be art music, not dance music. The club offers an environment where skilled and talented musicians feel free to express themselves artistically. There is no pressure to appeal to the masses. We all know that the people who patronize Cezanne are there because they love and respect the art of what we do.As a jazz experience, for the patron and performer alike, this is a solid five star establishment!

Wont let in anybody under 21. No exceptions.

Excellent Jazz club. Make sure to show up early or youll have to wait for intermission for admission. Worth the cover charge.

Music was first rate. Service woefully understaffed. 1 bartender 1 waitress for a packed house.

Quaint jazz bar, great live music venue, get there early to get a good seat.

Simply awesome venue for live jazz!

Houston’s No. 1 jazz spot. Period.

If youre a Jazz lover or do like to get an awesome music night you must go to this place

Would get five stars but the drink preparation can be noisy. But its a great intimate room. Youre right up close to the musicians. I heard Eddie Lewis and sidemen, an excellent set. Cover is only $10 and I dont think theres any minimum. Most importantly they respect the music--people arent there to talk but to listen.

Great music, horrible management. Please, please, please go here to support awesome local, and visiting, musicians--the space is amazing--just dont buy food or drink (other than the REQUIRED one drink minimum). My default tip is 20%, but when its automatically tacked on to every tab, regardless of party size, its no longer a tip. Bring a flask or pregame and then pay for a $5 (or actually $6) bottle of water.

Very intimate atmosphere that can be appreciated alone or with friends.

Ok. I will start by saying this is the best place to come and listen to jazz in Houston. The drinks and cocktails are decent for the price and quality. The place is small and fills up very fast so you have to arrive 10min early before the artists begin to play. The have a nice selection of appetizers to go with the drinks. The atmosphere is eclectic and artsy. The service is slow because they dont have too many waiters so you also have to be patient.

Best jazz spot in town! Cozy and good venue. Down side is the cover and mandatory drink. Be ready for that and youll be satisfied. Also, arrive early for (good) seating!

The music wonderful, the Hostess very unprofessional and rude. I went yesterday 10/07/17 with my Father whos a Jazz Pianist and it was really full, she told us to wait standing in the little space with only 4 places to seat and full of people, in case some tables came available, she didnt have an idea of for how long the wait would be which is understandable. I was not sure if my 82 yrs old Dad would want to stand for I dont know how so I told her that we would wait for a few minutes and see, she told me that if we wanted to stay we had to pay, period.During the time we standed there a long with more people, she would be sitting comfortably in one of the 4 seats available to wait, playing with her phone, ignoring what was going on around.This woman has no idea of what a greeting job is, wearing jeans and shirt, sitting in the seats destined for customers, checking phone and specially treating people in a very disrespectful way.

The bands are excellent. But the room is super small and fills up fast. 1 bartender and 1 waitress. It takes a while to receive your drink order. But the quality live music makes up for it.

Great place to hear local, regional, and occasionally nationally known jazz artists playing acoustic jazz. Excellent!

Great if you love jazz. Small and cozy. Good shrimp quesadillas.

Great place for live jazz

Intimate setting, excellent music

Music was good but everything else about the club is lacking. The seats are uncomfortable, most people dont get a table and service is sub par. The bartender was busy texting instead of serving customers. A domestic light beer was $8 after a modest tip. Bar noises like ice going into glasses can be disturbing too. If they get credit.. its for booking a good act but that is about it.

Came here last night, paid the cover fee, but the band didnt play because they had some technical difficulties. We had a couple of coffees and spent almost an hour there, no music. We wanted to leave, the hostess didnt want to refund the cover because we already bought drinks. Pretty bad customer service.

I might go back if I want to see live music, but I would not go here just for a drink. The bartender was very busy so it took me ten minutes just to get noticed by her. I ordered a dewars (neat) and I know how much that bottle costs at specs, so I was shocked when I was charged $10 for a single pour.It took me another 10 minutes to get a menu and another 10 to place a food order. When my quesadilla finally came it was delicious.So overall it was a good night. The band was killing it and the food was good, even though I had to eat standing up. Oh, and they automatically add gratuity

The best, nice environment, Friday night was easy seating. Took forever to get the check

Nice tiny listening room for Jazz

We came to hear live music and waited for almost an hour due to an equipment malfunction, so we finally asked the hostess to refund the cover charge. She was rude about it. Employees of the Black Lab said that we should speak to her father who also works at Cezanne, but he was even less helpful than she was.

I would love to 5 star, however the drink minimum, and they dont serve coffee :( I would like some brandy with my coffee, when I do drink..But otherwise Great Spot, get there early, seats are limited, and be prepared for some awesome sounds!

Decent jazz. But the service is absolutely atrocious.

I reaaaally want to give this place 4+ stars, but the critic in me wont let me.It would be so easy for this place to make itself better because the music is great.Vibe:classy, intimate, second-floor jazz club and cocktail loungePatrons:mostly older crowd with a smattering of young people trying to get cultured. almost everyone is on a date or double date or triple date.Things to know:go UPSTAIRS to get to the jazz music once you enter the black Labrador pub/restaurant. park in the parking garage behind the building because its free. bring cash so you can get in and out quicker.CONS:1) there is only one waitor/waitress serving the entire place which normally has 30-50 people in it on a typical weekend night. order a drink as soon as you can and order another whenever you get the chance because youll wait 15 minutes before it gets to you (and you arent allowed to bring drinks from downstairs)2) even if youre ordering drinks, you will still have to pay a cover charge. I think if you drop $50 on drinks, they should waive the cover3) I love the smallness of the place, but there should be a host/hostess at the front entrance to limit how many people can get in because when its crowded, you cant move without hitting someone

Ive never been disappointed in the music at Cezannes. Its a bit small and sometimes its standing room only, but overall its a wonderful little gem in the Montrose area of Houston.

I consider this a regular spot to hear live outstanding straight jazz.

Perfect date spot, and vibe is excellent.

Definitely my favorite jazz spot in Houston, very cozy, get there early and drinks are a bit high. Absolutely worth a visit.

Love the music here. Just be prepared to pay a cover charge and a one-drink minimum.

Great evening definitely will go back,excellent jazz entertainment....must go early for seating

Live jazz, live jazz, live jazz. . .darn was hoping to beatlejuice that

Great date spot. Drinks are fairly expensive though

Great place for relaxing.

Unbelievable expensive.
