Great jazz club thats been around for more than a year in the hear of Madison. Johann Wallmann quartet took the stage for two unbelievable sets. First time seeing the vibraphone as part of a jazz concert I was captivated by the melodies. Quality jazz artists and I cant wait to go back!

Madisons cozy live jazz night club venue that also actively supports youth in jazz. Good vibe to the place. Bar service is good, but youll have to go out the front at intermission to get your eats at a mobile restaurant. Isaiah Collier and the Chosen Few were there on Saturday, and there was some good played.

Love this place! Very cozy and intimate feeling for jazz and various kinds of music listening experience. Its the kind of place you come to enjoy the music and a drink after a long work day or a fun weekend evening. They have various musical events through out the week including weekly drum circle, Latin dance lessons. I have also enjoyed the jazz jam and concerts that featured wonderful musicians from all over the world.

I went to the free Latin music night on a Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Great DJ, great crowd. They could go a bit more easy on the Disco laser. Nice seating area, too.

Great live jazz in Madison. Owner and staff make you feel very welcome. Great piano and sound engineer. Has a Saturday program for kids to learn a little and play together too.

Good atmosphere and good bar tender. The band wasnt great the first time I went, but I support any business that supports young musicians. The building is bigger than most bar/music venues that Ive been to, but if youre going to listen to the music, its good to sit closer to the stage. A lot of the people that go here like to talk, and sometime it can be hard to hear if the bar is between you and the band. They have some nice cocktails, and their bartenders are very good.

If you want an experience, then experience Cafe Coda. Go get that jazz.

What a fun place. Lots of room to spread out. Either at the back of the room at tables or along the bar. Or get up close for a show sitting in chairs. Super sound to the speakers.

Best jazz club in the state of Wisconsin

Great new jazz club. Music was wonderful and the space is great also. Reminds me of NYC.

Lovely jazz club. The band was excellent and the drinks were good and reasonably priced ($5 craft drafts, $6 red wine). The cover was $15 - worth it, and I will surely go again!

Very nice, clean, compact venue. Go early, get a drink, and sit in the front area. The lighting and sound will give you wonderful feelings.

Small, eclectic mature audience. Very comfy, casual. Food truck outside. Self-serve popcorn. Specialty drinks $$.

The music was awesome! The atmosphere was great too. I will be going back.

A true jazz bar that you get in big cities. The band I saw was world class caliber. I will be going back.

Great place to make music, by yourself or with some friends For example, theres a drummer circle on Saturday from 12 to 2.

Beautiful space. Great music tonight. Fantastic sound. A very classy jazz club. Adds a lot to the Willy Street scene. This is the kind of jazz club Madison has needed for a very long time.

Without a doubt the most musical vibe Ive sensed in a long time.The decor, the owner and his warm staff, the cliental, not to mention the acoustic response of the room itself, All this went into making my return performance at Cafe Coda an absolute delight.Cant wait for APR. 10th.

Great spot for live jazz. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Great spot for some drinks and jazz. They have lots of live music and plenty of events for the family!

Perfect atmosphere for some phenomenal live jazz music, improvisation night is a magical experience. They also have a great focus on being positive role models in the community

Great atmosphere! Chill place with nice seating and great music! I see this place getting very popular in the near future, so come out and support it while the seating is still easy

Very close and comfortable. Good sound.

The best jazz club north of the Illinois border.

Had hope for this place since there arent great places to hear music in Madison. Just a weird vibe and a terrible bar. I felt.bad for the bartenders because I think they were doing the best with what they had. We got there at 6:45 for an 8pm show. Many drinks we tried to order were already no longer available. This was clearly a bar having issues paying for sufficient inventory. Not enough glasses, beers sold out, poor liquor choices, had to round up glasses and wash which consisted of dunking them in a few rounds of water and some sort of cleaning solution. My friend and I actually felt sick after our glasses of wine. Not sure if the bottles of wine had been out and open too long or what. Awful experience.

Great jazz venue. The owner and booker are great people. Well located on Williamson Street. Mondays 7 to 10 p.m. live entertainment $5 cover, well worth it for a jazzy bluesy R&B evening of entertainment. Fridays 5 to 7 p.m. no cover charge live entertainment.

Have had many wonderful experiences at Cafe Coda. The music, the atmosphere. Everthing! The staff, VERY with it. Absolutely outstanding! Five Star, for sure!!!

I went for an excellent quartet Im Saturday night. Hoping to go again soon.

Madison needed this! Great new venue for live music and dancing. Jazz as well as other music acts are featured. Good sound system, great bar, and the cozy atmosphere. Bar tenders are friendly and swift to serve. Stage is small, but then again this is a small cozy place. Among all the giant music venues this is a special option. People were happy, dancing and enjoying the whole experience. Looking forward to visiting again and seeing how it transforms into a keystone. Go check it out for yourself!

Room for improvement at a very nice venue! The music can be great but not all events met expectations as described on the web site. Would be nice to consistently mention a no talk “listening room” policy at the beginning of each show. It is not the best place to take your date to chat with background music if you don’t know that. Would be better to “show not tell” how great this place can be by getting to the music more efficiently. When drink options are well stocked it is a pleasure! It is a bit pricey for Madison but with improvements it would be worth it!

Nice place for young and old adult to relax and chill out. The music is very relaxing. Nice neighborhood.

I went here for Thursday for the Night of the Improvisor and was blown away not only by the music but how it felt like I was a part of a family during my stay.If you are a musician (especially Jazz) then Cafe Coda is a MUST for you to experience (and hopefully perform on stage!). Everyone I met here had a wealth of knowledge and experience that they generously shared.For fans of music or anyone looking for a great venue I give Cafe Coda my absolute highest recommendation. This is a perfect place to bring a date, your friend, or even enjoy a drink with your own company.

I went last weekend and it has the most laid back welcoming atmosphere. I will be visiting more often.

Great addition to the near east side! Popped in on a slow night and the service was great.

Great new venue that offers live jazz for a reasonable price. Atmosphere was lovely, owner was very present on the floor interacting w staff and greeting guests. My beer didnt taste right however. My first choice was oit and the second choice did not taste fresh. The bartender offered another glass but the experience was exactly the same. I would go here again, but next time Willie sure to get a cocktail instead. Cuban band was excellent and overall an enjoyable event.

Went to a youth jazz session with Hanna John Taylor and played with 4 other saxes and a piano, improvising. It was eye opening to the mood of jazz, and taught me a lot about improvising. Definitely going again, the sessions are free and held every saturday

Very nice stop to listen to music and have a drink.

Hanah runs a cool jazz shop

Great music. Warm vibe.

Fun show again. Love the venue and music line up. Would love a better selection of wine.

This is a premier Jazz Night Club presenting the best Jazz in Madison.

Very tasty music. Love energetic emergence of delicious sounds. I’ll be looking forward to coming back and supporting this beautiful expression of artists.

Wonderful venue. Top notch entertainment and the staff cant be beat. Highly recommended!

A club with the owner Hanah Jon Taylor tenor saxophonist from Chicago. At night club music with all kinds of spirits. On weekends he teaches kids jazz.

Gotta love live jazz, and this is the best venue for it!

Awesome people and great music. What more can you ask for

I love Cafe Coda. Bring in your own food and get a cocktail and they’ll set you up with silverware and make you feel like family.

Wonderful atmosphere and music. Great addition to Willy Street.

Great music. Great place to hang out.

Always a favorite on Willy Street! Can’t wait to see more musicians come through here.

Amazing music and excellent vibes are found here!

I want this little music club to succeed. The jazz was really good, so that increases my rating. The atmosphere wasnt very good. The drinks are essentially what you would get at your average bar. The food is not convenient, since you need to go next door to order and pay. The sound wasnt balanced between the microphones. So its a great idea, but the execution could be improved.

Great funky music by the JB3s.

Had a blissful time here will always visit anytime I can ...great atmosphere, wonderful customer service and plush clientele right on willy st...

Great place that we popped in a random date night. Awesome music and owner, atmosphere and drinks :)

A cool cafe

Long narrow space, well stocked bar: wine, craft beer, lots of brandies (including cognac, bourbon, etc), and retro cocktails. No food. At least on the night I was there, the vibe was cold and serious. This is one of those clubs with a quiet policy, including if you’re sitting at the bar and away from the stage. Though it isn’t explicitly communicated you will be shushed if you transgress. So humiliating!—know before you go and either zip your lips or take your conversation elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll go back, but I do appreciate that a space exists for serious jazz musicians and fans to do their own thing. Only knocking off one star because of the lack of communication re: expectations. A note on the website, FB event pages, and a reminder when paying the cover about a quiet policy being in effect would help ensure everyone has a great experience, with minimal disruptions and awkwardness.

Nice place if you like jazz

Great vibe and amazing live music...no food but you can order in!

Comfortable club featuring live jazz almost every night.

Great spot for live music in the heart of Willy Street. Go.

It was awesome, love the music and the place, the owner super nice!!!

Great to have a jazz club club on Willy St.

Great music and great vibe

A great classy place to jazz, funk, and blues! The newest place for live music!

Cozy. No food though

Beautiful decor but terrible service and unimpressive and ridiculous entertainment!! Was told to go there for the open Jam last week and they were closed with no notice. Went back a week later and there was nobody in there except two bartenders and one customer. We asked for the menu and we ordered a couple of beers that were on their import list and they had said that they had no beer at all. Very confusing! Then ordered wine and as we watched the entertainment which consisted of the owner of the club playing saxophone, he had his back to the audience and performed with a drummer. That was it!! Thats the entertainment. Wow, very unimpressed. He was playing very fast on his instrument and screaming a bunch of high notes. Now I see why theres nobody there. Upon receiving our bill , they charged us an additional $5 per person for a cover charge without disclosing it to us to begin with . There were no signs to even indicate that . Extremely disappointing!!! Felt sorry for the bartenders who were nice but had no beer to sell, as well as having to charge a $5 cover. I would not recommend ever going there!! VERY Sad to see such a beautiful place go to waste!!

Its what a Jazz Club should be!

Great Music and nice place to chill with friends

Left credit card and was unable to contact them. No working phone number, voicemail, or email address. Expect to pay a $15 cover and double what you would expect for drinks.

Just plain cool
