Great vibe, great music, great stage, great sound! If youre in Austin, check it out!!

Great basement club. Killer jazz set with flutist Nestor Torres. Good vibe, site lines and sound. I loved it there. $15 per person for the late show on a Saturday nightWell worth checking out. Try to get reservations if you can. The second show started at 10pm. An upscale crowd lived the show and scene. Near Capitol grille and Trulucks.

Always a great place !Great drinks amazing jazz perfect atmosphereKris hit it out of the park with this joint !!!

Probably the best jazz club Ive been to, hands down! The sound system is phenomenal,the staff is so friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect. Its a must visit club in Austin.

The set was a dream! If you’re in Austin, this is a must-do for date night. I cannot wait to come back to the city!

I like the concept, cozy bar under the Capital Grille, but, unfortunately, it has a few flaws. First, they have put way too many tables in there. Even the wait staff was struggling to serve drinks. I shudder to think what would happen if there was an emergency. Secondly, while admittedly we only had one kind of cocktail, the mixed drinks werent done that well. Third, the food we got, cheese and meat tray, was literally bad. The meat smelt like vinegar and the cheese was dried out. Given the price we paid for everything, we expected better. And, to make matters worse, I noticed an erroneous second charge from them on my credit card. I wont be going back.

This a gem of a place! The music was phenomenal...so cozy and romantic inside. The vibe almost reminded me of N.O. Its in the basement of the capital Grille/ Ra Sushi building.

Best sounding music room in the US. Designed by an acoustic engineer and it sounds it. Great house musicians. Intimate place. Great drinks, wonderful staff. Get down here.

We always have such a fun time here. Def one of my favorite places in Austin. The acoustics are amazing, romantic, and overall just a gem.

Liked the setting. Ladymay was awesome in her shows. Looked her integration with the crowd. In addition to the show, Chris, the other played as well. He showed his versatility with the tenor sax and clarinet. A good place to go relax and let the music Sooth your soul. For and drinks are decent. Actually, 4.6 rating.

I love the ambience, the mood, the music of Parker Jazz Club. Chris Kimura and the house band are fabulous and the other performers are excellent! Love this club!

Our first visit to Parker Jazz Club was a remarkable one! I brought my wife here to celebrate our dating anniversary, and I wrote to the owner ahead of time in hope of getting it recognized so wife will feel special. What we ended up getting was far beyond what I expected! Not only did Kris (the owner) announced our anniversary to the whole audience, but also he dedicated two tunes to us and ended the show with an extra love song. It was a truly amazing experience to sit on the front seat and have the whole crew perform for you! Wife couldnt stop talking about how happy she was on our way home. Thank you Kris and the whole crew for the magical night and spectacular Jazz performance! We will remember this night for a long time!

Fabulous jazz club! The atmosphere here is absolutely perfect (not dungeon-like as with some others in the area), the cocktails, small bites and service are great, and the musicians tonight - both the guest performers and the House Band - were stellar. Highly recommend checking it out if youre a jazz fan!

We enjoyed this place so much! Our son plays the trumpet so I called ahead and asked if we could bring him, they said we could, we reserved a table and we all enjoyed the show. It was like attending a party at someone’s house. Entertaining, fun, and oh! the music was just lovely. We’ll definitely return for more. Price is absolutely worth it!

Great spot to listen to some Jazz music! Great for a date night.

Excellent house band, put on a fantastic show. You can tell they really enjoy playing and are passionate about it. Great musicians all around. Venue has great sound quality and a very swanky vibe. The cocktails we had were both excellent and reasonably priced considering there was no cover on the night we attended. Look forward to going back next time we are in Austin.

We came after another club was already at capacity and what a great idea. This is our first but Not last visit. Fantastic live jazz band and phenomenal ambiance. Very quaint and cozy for a couple or a group. Drinks were priced about right in downtown Austin.

I love this club! Kris Kimura the owner is amazing!

One of the coolest experiences Ive had while in Austin, and definitely the best jazz bar Ive ever been to. The band is extremely talented and has a very unique vibe. I was able to sit front and center, and enjoy their entire set. The vocalist ( the owner ) can sound identical to Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole. I will be planning a trip back to Austin just to come back to this club. The food was surprisingly good as well. I tried all the different variations of meatballs they had, and they might be some of the best Ive had.Side note: Theres someone in the reviews falsely claiming they were mistreated by the servers because they are minorities. The owner is Japanese and both of the servers I had were hispanic. Theres no racism going on in this place. All shapes, sizes, and colors welcome. You wont regret visiting Parker Jazz Club.

The Parker Jazz Club is a hidden little gem.Kris Kimura’s homage to his young son is a musical love letter to the local Jazz scene. The vibe is warm and welcoming, musically familiar but at the same time always fresh. Run, don’t walk, to take in a set tonight at Parker’s.

Great atmosphere, has a speakeasy vibe being in a basement which is cool. The trio had great give-and-take with the audience, and eased into the tunes . I will be back

First rate, world class house jazz band. Chris, Ben, Ryan, and Daniello. Stayed for 3 sets. The acoustics will make your ears happy. During the first set, a proposal was made and accepted.

I was in town for the weekend and was looking forward to enjoying some live jazz. My wife and I were sitting down for an hour (no exaggeration) and were never offered drinks or even approached by a waitress. Everyone around us were served. We were two of the only minorities in the club. We are from the west coast so maybe it is just the thing in Texas to not serve minorities. But I went to the bar to order our drinks and the bartender said they will be sent over. We waited 15 more minutes and still no drinks. So my wife went to the bar and re-ordered the same drinks. We waited another 8-12 min and decided to leave. The blond woman at the door was very professional and wanted to get us our drinks and make it right. The music was top notch and I really wish I could have stayed the entire night to enjoy it. If you or black (like myself) or islander (my wife) you are better off putting on some jazz at your hotel room.

As a jazz enthusiast I so admire and enjoy the House (Trio) Band and love the ambience of the club but ......1. Saturday night’s service was dreadful! We waited forever for everything and had to hunt down our “server” to pay after waiting nearly an hour for her to bring the tab. Which would have been double the amount if she had been doing her job correctly.2. Kris enough already with the conversations about your Mother! We waited 45 minutes for your Christmas show to start back in December as the whole club waited for her to arrive.3. And on Saturday you kept telling a packed club how you hadn’t slept for 24 hours because you’d been partying with Doug Lawrence and you were trying not to doze off. That’s like telling a date ‘we’re not going to have much fun tonight because I partied myself senseless last night with someone else.’I know you own the club and do what you please. But we pay good money to be there. Have the common courtesy to get your act together. Your Trio and your guests sure do.

An excellent jazz space at Austin Texas. Very good music . Good drinks - a little expensive - and the jazz environment is wonderful. The place is not that big and I got there a little late so I was asked to leave but visually they could get a chair for me but they didnt. Well ... Its a good place anyway

New favorite basement jazz in Austin! Great venue, good drinks and friendly staff

What a fabulous place! Beautiful ambiance, wonderful owner/host/lead musician, and tasty cocktails for reasonable prices. Truly a gem in Austin.

Excellent drinks, attentive wait staff... and the music was played by those who obviously loved what they were doing. It was a magical night.

This is a great place because you can actually hear the music. The accoustics are great. And the crowd is attentive to the bands. So the loud talking during band sets is not a problem here.

Amazing jazz club. Phenomenal house band. I cant wait to go there again.

Found this gem and loved it. House band was great and shared a bottle of champagne. Cover is $10/person.

Great sound design for live music. Drinks were well made and band entertainment was fantastic!

Such a cool vibe. Perfect jazz atmosphere.

Great place to go for jazz. House musicians are top notch and they bring in other acts. Decor is appropriately jazzy and the service was very good. Wish they had more interesting wines by the glass though. Selections are pretty low end but at least the glassware is nice. Great addition to the Austin music scene.

Visited Parker Jazz Club for the 2nd time tonight. Amazingly talented musicians, classy place. Looking forward to going again.

They call it the house band, but its like the main event every night! Drinks are cheap and plenty as well. The atmosphere is also very friendly and enjoyable.

Location is in the heart of downtown Austin keeping it an integral part of the live music and entertainment culture. The owner is a fantastic multi-instrumentalist who fronts the house band, as well as bringing in national and regional professional jazz artists. The staff is courteous and top notch, all with an eye for service. The venue is beautiful. The bar serves great drinks and food. The stage and space was specially built to sound great without sound engineering. But they also have an excellent sound system and fantastic sound engineers. I highly recommend spending your time, money, and attention at Parker Jazz Club!

Really enjoyed the vibe and the meusic. Service was good as well but great ambience

Such a cool venue! Intimate setting, talented artists, and just an overall great vibe. We’ll definitely be back. Hint: Make a reservation - very easy to do through their website.

Small, cozy, fun intimate place to see a special small band or singer. Great service and bar. We saw a small Jazz band that was sold out.

Very happy to find this place on a Wednesday. Kris Kimura and the house band were awesome. Great band, great club. Chatted with the sound man, who also did an amazing job. Everything about this place was about great music. Will definitely be back.Edit- we made it back Friday night for the late shift, last set of the night. Devan Jones & the Uptown Stomp played masterfully. A lot of great jazz, and some great blues too.Great place!

Amazing jazz bar- fantastic acoustics, comfy chairs and a great drink menu! Highly recommend the strawberry shortcake

One of the best, most intimate jazz club experiences I’ve ever had. Great, fast service. The owner is obviously very passionate about what he does and keeps the crowd extremely involved in the show. I want to go back to Austin just for this club. Kris, keep doing your thing- it was great meeting you!

So I found this gem doing some research for my birthday. NEVER in my life have I had an experience quite like this place. I made reservations for a party of five. But a friend added some people last minute and they were more than accommodating. They played happy birthday to me and everyone sang. I never smiled so big. And the music itself was phenomenal. Truly an amazing joint. I will be coming back to the perfect little joint. And thank you to Chris the manager and owner for creating such an amazing atmosphere hidden here in Austin and for letting me be a part of it all. Thank you.

Wow...really enjoy this place. Nice intimate setting. Great place for a date!

Great club. Good drinks, and the stage and sound set up is just right for the space.

Wonderful jazz. Very personable owner. My only issue is listening to the jazz as the bartender shakes the drinks. Sit as far from the bar as possible for a truly enjoyable evening. In spite of the bar tender, 5 stars.

This place is legit! Swanky yet laid back Austin vibe. Excellent service, tasty drinks, they even have a few snacks and desserts. It’s very cozy but plenty of space and not a bad seat in the house. The band was outstanding. We had the privilege of listening to the owner who is super talented. Do yourself a favor, whether you treat yo self or bring a date, it’s a night well spent!

We are local Austin residence and we went with another couple. Surprisingly, as much as we love music, we had never been there. What a treat. We go for the music and it did not disappoint. The Art Carvajal trio was excellent.All three of them are great musicians and presented well to the audience. In addition, the singer, Kenny Williams made for a wonderful evening. He was terrific also. All in all it was a relaxing evening with beautiful music. The venue itself is good for a jazz club and the service was good. We will go back soon.

Amazing music, amazing ambiance. I cant wait to go back.

Excellent to hear jazz. Nice enviroment, services and for sure, music!

Excellent music. The house and is very tight and extremely talented. Staff is friendly and the drinks are great.

Amazing original jazz experience

Talented musicians and a solid setup.

Great house band, ambiance, and reasonable cover charge. Drinks are double the norm.

If youre looking for beautiful jazz, this is the spot. You can pay ahead of time but when I went on a Friday there was plenty of space. The house band is usually playing and each member brings something special to the number, which is just what I think good jazz is supposed to have.

10 man band on Tuesdays, Good venue with awesome music. Wine list is great.

A perfect venue for Jazz lovers. Great sound, Everyone has a good view. The owner is very hospitable.

Airways a wonderful experience... It IS an experience! If you are local, go often.. if you are visiting, check it out... But never ever move here.

Coolest spot in Austin. Playing the coolest music

Fancy drinks and live music. A bit surprised by the $10 cover but it was well worth it for a good show and a good time.

Best Jazz club in town. Had the best dirty martini that ive ever had there. Good place for a little swing dancing if u take a partner

There are no words. I never even knew I liked jazz but this is hands down my favorite place to listen to music in Austin. The ambiance, the character, the charm, the talent..it’s something you can’t appreciate until you experience it for yourself. Just wow. The owner of this jazz club is living his dream and you can feel it the moment you walk in the door. Love love love!

We stopped in Parker Jazz Club not knowing who was performing. Much to our surprise it turned out to be a memorable evening. The House Band with Kris Kimura was absolutely incredible. If you like Jazz, this is a great place to experience it.

Great house band in a cool atmosphere. A fun way to spend a Saturday night. Reservations recommended.

Cool underground club vibe with live jazz. The music was great and the setting was perfect for a date night.

I really enjoyed the show and the cocktails were real....good.....

We have been here many times. It is 5 star each and every time. The music is amazing. The ambiance is great. Better than any of the jazz clubs in the bigger cities. You must go!!

Great atmosphere! Wonderful and friendly staff. When I so elegantly spilled half my glass of white wine on myself, the bartender brought me club soda and another glass of wine on the house. Oh and, of course, great Jazz music!

PLEASE support this venue. I am from out of town, but am an avid listener of jazz - so I decided to give this place a try. Every single one of my expectations were surpassed.- The venue is quaint and personal.- The staff was friendly and accommodating.- The atmosphere was everything you would expect to encounter when you are listening to jazz - foggy, dim, and relaxed. The audience was very respectful and very quiet; it was obvious that people were there to listen to music, rather than talk.- The music was fantastic. The set list ranged from smooth jazz to the wonderful bop of New Orleans style. The Kris Kimura quartet was exceptional and very comfortable on stage. Live music is even more enjoyable when you can see that the musicians are enjoying themselves - and these guys (without a doubt) enjoy performing.Im very idealistic when it comes to these things - so I often get my expectations too high. But its been a week since I visited, and I still cant stop thinking about it. It was a wonderful experience for my girlfriend and I. You wont regret attending the Parker Jazz Club.

The most intimate jazz setting. The lead singer is so sensual and the drummer really blew me away. A little Asian hot mama with a madSkill for the drums really made my night. Thanks for the light and your brightness. Keep doing you. ️️

Great drinks and great music. Daley have a whiskey drink that has an orange peel garnish and chocolate bitters that is awesome and I highly recommend

Everything you would hope for and want in an evening of jazz in Austin.

Fantastic music, kris built something amazing.

Amazing place. Enjoyed my 30th birthday here. Wonderful staff, attentive servers, best house band Ive heard. Such a wonderful owner and his wife, very nice people!!

Love love love the club. The atmospheres & the music was over top. Plus the owner Chris is awesome. Thank you for chatting with us & making our night awesome!

Amazing location great show last night!! I will most definitely be coming back. The musicians there yesterday were phenomenal! Thank you for a very wonderful experience!

Great later night jazz club vibe unlike any other area nightclub venue in Austin. Located underground and somewhat hidden from Central Downtown hustle and bustle there is always a great live band playing here. There is typically a $10 cover and you are seated around tables rather than having a dance floor. Highly recommend stopping by here after dinner downtown or a show at the Moody Theater

AMAZING! Best acoustic venue in not just Austin... the entire region! This place will be recognized internationally in the top 10 jazz clubs in the world. Dont wait until there are long lines. Go now! Dress to the nines. Enjoy jazz at a level never seen in Austin!

My favorite venue to listen to music.Wonderful sound system. Cocktails are good, although priced high. Servers are very discreet and top notch. They regularly host my favorite musicians, and they have a beautiful floor and will accommodate us swing dancers.

New club so it is not super crowded. Everything is super new, service staff is very attentive. While it lacks some of the ambiance from an old club like elephant s room, its still a great club that you should check out.

Fabulous musicians. The frontliner is the owner and he is attentive to all his guests.

Amazing experience! Great musicians! Great service and comfortable setting. Love the story behind this venue! It’s definitely a place to check out!

Great music and atmosphere, but a bit steep in terms of cost.

Amazing Jazz Lounge. Great artists, service, and food! A must go in downtown Austin.

Talented musicians, attentive service, comfortable venue, and delicious drinks! Wonderful new Jazz Club in Austin. Call for table reservations, but they also had open tables for those of us curious enough to stumble in. This underground joint has all you can ask for including an outdoor patio (which will be great when it warms up a bit), a full and creative cocktail/drink menu, and small plates. The Yard Bird, Parkers take on an Old Fashioned cocktail, was perfection.Watch out for this place. I think it will become a downtown staple for Austin for those of us who love jazz.

The atmosphere and jazz music here are really great. They only serve cocktails, wine, liquor, beer, a variety of soda and juice and a selection of mini desserts, cheese and meat plates and other snacks. Once the show started, it was a little hard getting a server to refill glasses. It was nice to see people getting up to dance on the open floor in the back. We only stayed for one show (reservation includes both shows) but well definitely be back.

Really cool atmosphere! Great music and laid back environment!

If you want a real jazz experience thats full of class, look no further.

Awesome atmosphere and service. The music was absolutely wonderful! We will come again

This is a fantastic space with unbelievable talent! I had the pleasure of experiencing the Ryan Davis Trio. So much amazing talent! The acoustics in this space are beautifully balanced. Great job! I am grateful a clean and classy jazz space has finally arrived in Austin.Much gratitude Parker Jazz Bar. We will definitely be back! Xo

I wish I could leave a comment without a rating because didn’t actually get to experience the club. Not because we didn’t want to, but because we were turned away, not once, but twice.Apparently there was a private event this evening, which is fine, BUT THERE WEREN’T ANY SIGNS OUT INDICATING THIS. They had an open door and we weren’t notified of a private event until we were halfway to the bar. The hostess told us that the event would be concluded within 30-45 minutes. We left and enjoyed ourself at another local bar and then returned in 45 minutes to enjoy the live music. However, when we returned we were turned away a second time and told to come back later. Once is fine, but twice is just bad business.We are now enjoying our evening at a different local jazz bar that had no problem accommodating a paying customer.

Tight jazz, entertaining personalities, lovely hostess, great drinks. Club was a packed intimate setting. Highly recommended.

Stellar jazz venue. Service is in need of finesse, but will definitely return. Music is great!

Quaint and authentic space with so much talent that you’ll want to come back every week

Perfectly set up to see the stage from anywhere in there....Will without a doubt return...

Very nice experience, will definitely do this again.

This place has a great timeless atmosphere. The music was great, the service was great, and we will certainly return.

Great experience with great music! Wish they had better appetizers...but that is not the point of this place. Will definitely come back!

If you are a fan of jazz, and by that I mean you want to actually go to listen to the music, this is not the place for you. While the venue is nice and has great sound, the audience was purely there for a night out on town the Saturday we went. The noise level of the talking and partying was deafening, making it impossible to enjoy the music. Management needs to make an effort to contain the crowd noise. No other jazz club that Ive been to in the U.S. (and Ive been to many) would allow this. If you want another downtown Austin club to party at with jazz as a backdrop, youll like it....if youre a jazz fan, not so much.
