Great place to ha drink and relax, listen nice music. Always great program for weekends. If you sign up for tham, you always can get discounts in your email. We was with 8 years old girl, she like so much too. Just let know maneger that you come with kid. Respect for all people who work there, guess who guys you are awesome. So welcome atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff! Lisa is great. The happy is hour is cool with 25 % off drinks and no cover. But arrive after happy hour and there will be a cover charge to see the live jazz bands.

Great place to take a date . The drinks are wonderful super nice wait staff and owner. I was so excited to be here that I came on the wrong day . I had tickets for Saturday night but came on Friday. The owner was gracious and allowed us to attend Friday. This intimate club had great acoustics and the musicians were top notch I will be back

Great spot, great music... Service could be better. Water should be a given unless someone orders differently. And if someone doesnt have a drink in front of them... How about asking if they need/want anything... Not hard at all.But it has a nice intimate atmosphere.

We recently visited the Winters Jazz Club for the first time. Firstly, we loved the ambience and the decor of the place. Moreover, the musical performance was simply fantastic! Artists were very good. We had a lovely night. I would highly recommend this place to people who are into jazz.

If you havent been to Winters yet, its time! A straight forward jazz listening room. The staff is friendly and welcoming. There really isnt a bad seat in the house. The sound and acoustics are great. Drinks are overpriced, but the bar offers good variety. Modern beatniks enjoy!

Great venue and great performance. Had a little seating issue but the staff owned it took care of us. In an industry where quality of service may be the only differentiating factor, they know and value the power of customer service. They made us feel valued and at home. We will be back!

Terrific little jazz club at Ogden slip. You can sit at the bar and not pay the cover charge or sit close to the band and really enjoy the intimate atmosphere. Its an educated crowd that knows their music and the artists are world class. Highly recommended experience for Chicagoans especially who might not have been down to this little gem of a club.

Excellent, intimate space to experience some great live jazz. My date and I had tickets for the 7:30 show (Rajiv Halim trio.. fantastic), got there about 10 min before showtime and sat right up in front of the stage. Cant comment on the cocktails as I just had a glass of rye whiskey.. but the service was perfect, friendly and attentive but unobtrusive. The acoustics are really accommodating in that space, so the sound is really very good. If you enjoy getting up close and personal with incredibly talented musicians, this place is for you.

For the past 4 years in December we have been coming to Chicago. On Friday night we attend the Winters Jazz club with general admission tickets. Let me say this first. The musicians have never disappointed us. They have been excellent. And I believe that Friday’s band was the best we have seen. My problem is with Winters management. We arrived at 7:10 for a 7:40 show. They informed us as they usually do about where GA seating is. They said that they have a full house and informed us about not saving chairs. Two tables right of stage against the back wall had people that had saved chairs. We didn’t say anything because we assumed people would actually be sitting in these chairs. Both tables used the chairs from high top tables for their coats and purses. I sure hope that they paid for those chairs because we to stay together moved table where they took chairs and had a pole blocking our view. If that happens Winters management should not allow people to save tables for their belongings. Checking coats is available. I won’t stop going because we could hear the music even though we couldn’t see all of the musicians. This will not stop me from attending next year. We will just get there earlier.

The music was great but the cover was a little high, since they got us for $20 per person...per set. Then theres the drink prices... we both ordered a couple kettle ones @$10 menu price. I understand the $3 up-charge per, for her grapefruit added, but to charge $3 for flat water seems like highway robbery!... $57 for 4 drinks.

The venue is actually really well laid out, comfortable, with great drinks. Get your tickets on Goldstar and youll save 50% over cover at the green mill and get a better view as well. Also, the owner clearly makes an effort to attract great talent. Add to that that its on the river front at Ogdens slip and you cant beat this place!

One of Chicagos best room for jazz, intimate and convivial, plus, a most excellent program of wide ranging artists.

Victor Garcia and his Quintet...Need I Say MORE? The jazz club was warm. Great service. Thanks Groupon for the discount but was worth full price.

A great experience! Excellent drinks and spirits. We watched an performance by Emily Braden and it was amazing! Excellent place for good drinks and good music!

Overall: Great music paired with great drinks!The good: Great music, with what seems like a pretty diverse calendar of artists (from trios, to soloists, and all sorts of genres). The atmosphere is appropriately intimate and the drinks are strong and tasty. The waitress was friendly and came back at optimal moments.The not-so-good: After the show ended the entire place promptly and effectively closed up, which is a bit odd. We wanted to stay for a night cap but instead the bar staff started flipping chairs and everyone poured out of the place. The seats that we were in were also pretty uncomfortable, as we had to sit on the equivalent of an unpadded booth for over an hour.Atmosphere: 8/10Service: 8/10Drinks: 8/10

Great jazz listening room. Low key just come and enjoy. $10 minimum drinks per guest when I attended, but no problem because they have good cocktails!

Great show, but we were disappointed it only lasted an hour. We made the mistake of choosing seating on the left side as the singers back was turned to us. I ordered an old fashioned and basically got a cup of watered down ice. Any good bartender would never serve that. My fiance ordered a martini that tasted mostly like sour mix. They definitely give you the bare minimum while charging $13+ for drinks. I was going to brush it off, but when my Fiance ordered her second drink, it never came. I did not tip or complain in person because the show was over, and we were ready to leave after that. I complained to them on square about it and this was the owners unprofessional response:Hello Ryan,Im sorry you were disappointed but we pride ourselves on pouring proper drinks with the proper amount of alcohol. Our bar staff measures the alcohol in every cocktail and follows a recipe. Allow me to say that its in poor taste to stiff your Server with no tip as shes not the one who poured your drink. The next time youre dissatisfied at a place of hospitality I would encourage you, out of basic fairness, to address any issues with management while youre present so theres an opportunity for something to satisfy you. Leaving no tip and complaining afterwards is especially classless when you enjoyed tickets which were 60% OFF.Very sincerely, Scott - ownerSorry, but you shouldnt speak to people in this way and expect to be in the hospitality industry as you put it.. Calling me classless is over the line. Good luck serving overpriced watered down drinks and responding this way to paying customers.

Dont even think twice and just go. One of th best Brazilian jazz music Ive heard, globally. Great experience, friendly staff.

Nice little jazz club, good drink list. Hard to find from Illinois, go to the promenade which is a walkway by the canal for an easier, more enjoyable entrance

Can’t believe that guy gave a poor review.... Wonderful vision of a jazz club, clean, great service and great jazz performances. Maybe some people don’t lime jazz. Add this place to your list.

Loved the performance and the space ous nice and intimate. wines by the glass, wish they sold by the bottle and snacks would be nice, for purchase would be fine.

Great music, good drinks!

Great club. Great dignified atmosphere. Great sound, and sight lines. Great staff. Go there.

Awesome venue. Very imitate. Superb service.Outstanding performance by Denise Thimes. Will definitely return.

Fine, intimate venue for Jazz. A godsend for Jazz lovers.

Intimate venue, you can only be in the 1st-3rd row essentially. Fantastic sound, great drinks, solid location, phenomenal experience

Small listening room with a separate bar area. The act when we went was really good and the staff were all very friendly. Great atmosphere and high-quality drinks. $20 cover for seats in the listening room, $10 cover for seats in the bar area. Typically two sets each evening. Come 30 minutes early to avoid a line and to make sure you get good seats.

Great music. Great talent. Nice-size stage and decent lights. Drink service is slow and disrupts the music. Chairs very uncomfortable with cement pillars making good sitelines scarce.

Fantastic Jazz club, cozy low key vibe with great service. I’m from the west coast and was delighted to find a good spot, Chrissy was an awesome server as well!

Just listened to a jazz trio. Great place for live music.

Best new find in town for live jazz! You cant beat the price and the space is perfect! Weve already been twice and plan to return!

My wife and I were very pleased with this jazz club, their service and entertainment. Look forward to visiting them in when were in town again in Aoril.

Great drinks. The bar has the best of both worlds with a view of the water and a view of the stage. Definitely a place where you go to quietly listen to music and relax.

Killer OldFashions!!! The service was great, kind and helpful. The show, superb! (Emily Braden Quartet)Very centric place, near everywere. And truthfully a jazz room, you want to listen jazz masters, go to Winters. Cover in 20 for tables near the stage, in front of stage 25. Un bar 10dlls. Pretty sweet deal to listen to those great performers. The OldFashions just 15 dlls each. And again one of the best OldFashions ever tasted.Cosy and prívate, listening room, for jazz! The other customers really quiet and respectfully, as it should be.Wife really, really love it, as I did!We will come back for sure!!!

Great intimate jazz club! This is my third time going! Awesome entertainment each time! I will be back!

Really nice jazz venue. Intimate. Reasonable. Great location. Talked with the performers after the set. Friendly wait staff. Go upstairs to Pinstripes for more fun after your jazz set.

A little hideaway. Hard to find but cozy.

A true gem! Went to see Small Napoleon and enjoyed the music and atmosphere.

Walking up to the door is a beautiful experience, as the scenery is picturesque- right on the water.Excellent show by Typhanie Monique and her band, performing mostly Christmas songs with a few other types of goodies included. Her voice is incredible and although her entire 3-piece band were wonderful, it was the piano man who was just everything!Cozy environment graced with elegance. Friendly & attentive staff. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. Not 5 stars only because the restroom happens to be outside the club (in the same building), down a couple hallways. However, I still highly recommend taking in a show here.

Awesome Jazz music, great service. We will definitely coming back again.

Intimate jazz club. The real deal.

We love Winters! It is a very intimate jazz setting, and everytime weve been, we have thoroughly enjoyed the music. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Its always a pleasant night out.

I’ve been here a couple of times and always enjoyed my experience. I like that it’s a listening room and that I can trust the people around me will be respectful. The acts are great and there’s great variety. Met the owner a couple of times and he’s always been very friendly. Wait staff was friendly too. It’s right on the water and just an elegant and modern jazz venue overall. Can’t wait to be back!

Lovely performance space. Friendly people. Great cocktails. Fabulous live music.

We came here a New Years Eve for the 1st time and had a wonderful night! The drinks were great and this singer was amazing! We sat a foot from the drummer...such an intimate venue really get to interact with musicians. Highly recommend here we will definitely come back to hear more jazz.

Really great music in an intimate setting. Check goldstar for discounted prices

Very cool little place! Really enjoyed my time there!

Loved the place. Intimate and beautiful.

Love the vibes n music. Great first date spot.

My wife and celebrated our first nights visit at this jazz venue and really enjoyed it. They venue its clean and new, has a nice ambiance, and we were very pleased with the volume... Not too loud :). If youre into jazz, even a little, then drop in and enjoy a show! You should get tickets in advance as it can get packed.

Went there on a Friday night, the music was very nice but the service was poor and very slow. Ordered two Woodford Preserves on the rocks listed on the menu at $14 each. When we got the bill each drink was $19. We politely asked the manager why it was higher than on the menu and he explained that they gave us a 2 oz. pour instead of 1.5 oz. Beside the fact that it did not look like it, we didnt ask for it and they should not have assumed we wanted it. We dont mind spending the extra money but we we want to pay the price that is advertised.

Seating was good. Close to the act. Saw Pharez Whitted Quintet. Sounded awesome. Only negative was that the pianist was facing away from the crowd. Couldnt see him play at all. Just his back. Seemed drinks were a bit pricey. $11-$18 for a cocktail. Might try it again if in the area.

Great, relaxed place for nice music and chilled nights. Drinks are priced okay. One issue: the a/c is too loud during live events - it‘s the music, that should be heard.

This place was my first jazz experience in Chicago. Its a cozy spot with an intimate setting. I went there in the winters, but Im certain it would be a lot better in the summer. They were really good at managing the crowd, the service was good and quick and the music amazing! I would go here again and suggest you go too!

Love this place. The music is world-class, and you don’t have to be a jazz fan to appreciate it. You can tell how talented the musicians are even with an untrained ear like mine.The vibe and ambience are incredible, the signature cocktails are great and the cover charge is very reasonable.When the weather is nice you can step outside and enjoy city views on the river.Really an amazing place. I’ve been there almost 10 Times and loved each experience.

Cozy little Venue. Ideal for a date night.

The general manager, Leesa, is low key and personable, perfect for a jazz club environment. The ambiance is very nice. Limited but solid cocktails, great location.

I loved the atmosphere. I came last night with My husband my daughter and her boyfriend. We all loved the music and decor. The only negative thing was our view but fortunately someone left early and We were able to see what the singer. Owner was very personable and listened to feedback. Next time I will come early to get good seats!

There is great and also not-so-great RE Winters Jazz Club. Briefly, the not-so-great: They have ZERO food. One would think they could have something simple such as a cheese plate or even some bar nuts available for purchase. Even the smallest clubs everywhere have a few simple options like this. Dozens of people Ive talked to have the same complaint about Winters. The other not-so-great is the room needs a few touches by a keen designer to boost the feng shui. It is abysmally dark and almost foreboding. Yes, its a cavernous room with concrete and pillars. Thats all cool, but there are ways to give it vibe of warmth which would not only help the visceral experience but help keep customers returning. Basically, the feel is not quite right. The owners will probably disregard this comment, but they should heartily consider it, as my opinion is fairly universal among the crowds Ive talked with. As for the great: The lineup of artists is almost always outstanding, the sound in most seating places is excellent, and the fact that the owners are obviously deeply dedicated to keeping this art form alive gets a big kudo from me. It is not easy to keep a rarefied type of music club alive. It takes love and work, so I am thankful for this venue. I hope my comments can add to their quest for success.

Just great. Very chill atmosphere and good drinks. Found my new favorite scotch there: the Ardbeg 10 yr. The cover charge was fair and the music was perfect. The spot is also pretty cool, near the docks. Obviously the crowd was a little older than me, but you go there for the jazz in my opinion

This is a great little club. The fears of obstructed views from concrete columns is over blown. Although a few seats are technically behind 2 structural support columns, they didnt totally interfere. A small bit of the stage from a few tables is blocked, but they can still see the stage and the performers. So dont let this stop you. We bought tickets ahead of time, but I dont think that was totally required, the house still had several open tables when the set began. We arrived an hour early to be sure to get good seats, but that was a bit early. Probably 45-30 minutes will be enough. That said, the site says all general admission seats, but when we arrived all of the center seats were reserved. Even though we arrived an hour early, we could not choose any of them. The seats are also a bit uncomfortable for more than about an hours use. The drinks are strong and reasonably priced. Although strong, very tasty. We had tickets to the 9:30 set (which cost the same as the 6:30 set) and the show was slated to run until 11pm. When we arrived at 8:30, the 6:30 set was still going. It wrapped around 8:45. Disappointingly, our set wrapped at about 10:40. We saw the Kimberly Gordon Trio. They are absolutely amazing. Search them out wherever they are performing! But, there was one disappointment... The trio, as great as they were, were missing their drummer that evening.

Really cool venue for Jazz! Small room that allows you to see and hear the performers as if it were in your own home. Not a bad seat in the house! Adnisssion fee and $10 drink minimum per sitting. Online discount coupons - sign up for emails. My friends and I love it and my out of town guests cant wait to go back!

This is a great chill afterword bar. A good place to wind down in a chill environment. I had a classic Hendricks chilled served up with a twist. My buddy was served an amazing Manhattan.

First off Id like to state the music and atmosphere/ambiance is fantastic for such a venue.The bartending staff by far, is the worst, most disrespectful Ive ever seen, anywhere, ever. We waited in the lounge for approximately 45 mins (as the earlier show ran long...no big deal), however, waited at the bar 3 times after waited to be approached as the surrounding tables were. Tried getting the attention of the bartenders (2 of them) and they wouldnt even look over. Let me state, the bar seats maybe 10-12 with 4 little 2 person side tables. The one bartender even so far as walked up to me, grabbed a drink in front of me and drank it then promptly walked away.Disrespectful, tasteless, classless staff that should be serving fries, not drinks at such a nice establishment. I didnt dare speak to the host as my luck, Id be served spot-on wine for the rest of the show once I finally got served.I paid $70 for vip tix and got a great show, just horrendous service. Ill assume theyre someones family members and its pity employment.Overall, great show, great venue, worst service prior to being seated. Id definitely recommend if they had better service. I guess they dont like making more money from patrons for drinks. If you dont drink, youll enjoy yourself, just stay away from the bar. Such a shame.

Excellent show! Great venue.

Nice everything except for the chairs.

First time in Chicago and took a short Uber ride to this wonderful place. Spent 90 minutes taking advantage of the chraoerdrinks during happy hour. The barman was friendly, poured amazing cocktails and was knowledgeable of the local area.$20 cover charge seemed fair for an intimate venue and seating close to the stage. Music was high tempo, engaging and the musicians excellent.Will definitely go again before my return to the UK in a few days .

This is a cozy place with excellent service and good acoustics. They have an extensive beverage list, but they dont serve any food.DENISE THIMES is wonderful! Ive heard her sing ar Winters Jazz Club three times. She sings jazz, blues, and pop; and shes a master when it comes to connecting with her audience. She has two shows tonight (12/28) and will be returning to Winters Jazz Club in April.

A great place a an evening with friends and adult family!

Intimate jazz club. Not a bad seat in the house.

Great jazz club with excellent musicians and good beer.

Superb place. Amazing performances and great drinks

Great Jazz Club with world class acts. Intimate setting in North Pier, the size and ambience reminds me of the scale of Bakers Keyboard Lounge in Detroit. Great service and they respect the music first and foremost. Engaged audience and discreet servers.

I went here on a Saturday night and we bought our tickets before we left the house. I didnt know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I love jazz and this was by far one of the best jazz spots I have been to to listen to live jazz on Jazz Fest weekend. There is a one drink minimum. Their cocktails were delicious and before we knew it, we were at 2 drinks each. Its a calm and dim setting and the stage is small and the show feels so intimate. Perfect place to take a date if you guys love jazz. There is no food here but luckily there are a few good spots to much on downtown. Who needs food and snacks when you have great drinks and an amazing live jazz band. Everyone seemed a bit over dressed and I came hella casual. We were the only punk looking people there. But it was a very open and welcoming environment. I will most definitely be back.

A jazz club is an intimate experience. You get to see the dynamic of the ensemble working together, how the improvisation of one member inspires the next member to take the music a step further, the joy they have in the music, the interaction of the players with the audience and sometimes with yourself. It can be an exhilarating experience. The experience fills your senses; you hear it, feel it and see it.I did not get that experience at Winters. 3/4 of my viewing experience included a pole. Views should never be obstructed in such an intimate setting. How disappointing.The owner said the pole was needed for the structural integrity of the building. Of course it was. Perhaps the venue is not appropriate for the structural integrity of a jazz club.

Emily Braden. AMAZING. And a perfect listening, intimate environment. A wonderful night.

Roberto is the best bartender ever! He is very polite and professional. Order The last word (gin mixed drink).

Great venue, especially if you can sit facing the stage. The sound system is lousy on the sides.

A sweet place for swinging jazz!Located on the north side of the Ogden Slip the club has a unique combination of water views and a warm, clean listening room. The seating is carefully arranged to provide good sight lines. No craning over your shoulder from a booth facing the wrong way!The club just celebrated its One Year Anniversary and still feels brand new. We were warmly greeted at the door, given a brief run down of the clubs policies and shown to a delightful table in the VIP area right up front. All tables are two tops and well spaced, so theres no crowding. The service was top notch and prices on drinks were reasonable for this type of venue. We were able to get parking within 500 ft through Park Wiz for $13.

The people here are VERY serious about jazz. You cannot talk anywhere near the musicians. Not a stellar place for a first date unless you sit next to the bar. My advice if you arent a huge jazz buff would be to sit in the outer room near the bar or the door. You can still enjoy the music as well as the company you came with.

Singer was enjoyable. Owner approached us immediately upon entering demanding cover but reduced fee if sitting at bar since we had a group and didnt have a lot of room in the regular area. As we sat at the bar (back of club) he then told us not to talk because the people at the front could hear us. Seriously, this is a Jazz Club, not a library! Acoustics were fair at best. If you want to enjoy the good music, try somewhere else.

Very nice experience, the concerts were excellent and the place is very welcoming, I recommend for any people who like jazz or blues

Unfortunately, I didnt get the opportunity to see the show because my wife and I were told by the host to get out of the way so people could leave out. While others who were not African American were treated with dignity and respect. Discrimination showed its ugly face through the host.

There were two sections - the listening room in front with a fee or a back section (half price fee plus a one drink minimum). The acoustics were great, the music was quality, and the vibe was very chill.

Located in North Pier - Winters Jazz club offers a relaxed atmosphere and amazing music. I highly recommend the sangria! Arrive early to get a good seat and wear something cool in the summer because it can get warm in there. My husband and I went two nights in a row and each night was something totally different but equally amazing.

Great live jazz. Knowledgeable bartender.

Cool atmosphere. Would go again. Just need a little more comfortable seats

Scam with ticket

This place is great. It is intimate like Jazz showcase, Andys and Green mill but it is new. I thought the newness might kill the ambiance but it does not. The ambiance is perfect. The wine is good, there is not s bad seat in the house and the music was amazing. Get it now, because this place is going to catch on. Its only been open six weeks.

Great spot! Atmosphere was beautiful and Elaine Dame has a wonderful voice. Really enjoyed my evening here - highly recommend. Surprised more people dont know about this place!

Came here with my boyfriend a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. The owner is incredibly hospitable and the intimate setting makes for a relaxing night out. The only drawback is that there are a handful of tables with an obstructed view so be sure to arrive early! 5 stars, will return soon

My first time at a jazz club and I loved it!! Great vibe great sounds and very nice staff!!!

This is a cool spot because its so small and intimate. There is not much seating, but we were able to snag a bench and were able to stand on it and had a KILLER view for the Rebelution show! It was cool the staff allowed us to stand on the bench, I was a bit skeptical.The bathrooms were also really clean which surprised me, although they ran out of soap.

Very small and intimate venue. Saw a friend perform there and it sounded great.

True listening room. A little hard to find but worth it for great jazz

Cozy and intimate. Right next to the river and other restaurants.

Really enjoyed Listening to Better Together Entertainment Atmosphere & Service made it a Nice Night Out

We had V.I.P center seating. The staff was helpful
