Great wine and beer choices. The place is great for special occasions and or a date or meet up. Business meet ups with be great here as well. The décor was also very good. Had the Tuna Tartare which was great and a cheese dish. It was Sunday night so not very busy however I can see this place having a line out the door Thurs, Fridays and Saturday.

Bartenders was rude and uninviting. After arriving I sat at the bar for 15 minutes before getting service. Keep in mind I was only color woman at the bar. There was 2 lady bartenders working the bar and a 3rd person working the floor. I sat in front the bar well station where the bartender was preparing other drinks; therefore i know she saw me. The 3rd person working the floor finally acknowledge me and what will I be drinking.

All these years still a fun place with great live music and sociable patrons. Had a great time always. Indoors, if you feel like it you and your partner can get on the floor show your moves, amateur or pro doesnt matter, everyone shows love here. I really miss the big crowd before corona, but still, a fun place, social distancing followed. My gf and Ive met locals and out of towners here, and gets to be interesting at times. Easy menu to order from, nothing fancy, but great enough for the night. Service is friendly. Keep up the great job BJB !!

Live music seven days a week. Two different bands each day. Happy hour from 4-7. Amazing food, amazing drinks, and an absolutely amazing staff. One of the funnest bars I have ever been to.

Terrible venue. Terrible service. We had to have our waitress return all 4 drinks because she brought out was not what we ordered. Blue jean blues tried serving one of us a glass of red wine that was to old to drink.The crowd was a bit shady. I wont go back .

Entertainment is very good. Service on the floor needs a better system. We arrived at 7:06 on a Tuesday night. Not overly busy at the time of arrival. We ordered two drinks with a glass of water and a pizza. Waitress brought two drinks, no water. Asked again for water. No water delivered. Fiancée went up to the bar to get me a glass of water 20 minutes later. 8:00 still no pizza but wanted us to close out tab with her for waitresses were being reassigned as band was about to start playing. 8:30 still no pizza and I approached her to advise her we were going to head out to forget the pizza. Everyone came in after us and orders taken, they were fed and done with meals. Apparently pizza was still not in the oven! They should have given us the two drinks on the house with an apology. 8:48 and now out looking for somewhere to eat.

Came on Thursday night. Great place. Band was good, not too loud(sat at the bar away from the stage). Crowd is mostly respectable adults 40 and up..The twin barmaids were very attentive and friendly. Food/drinks: pretty typical bar fare. Not bad. Not cheap but not too expensive either. Really loved the ambience...very positive and kind vibe/energy. Maybe it was the band.

Live music every night! What more can you ask for? Every time we’ve gone we’ve enjoyed the different bands playing and the good vibes. Bar area or tables are available with bar foods. Sliders were good, fries yummy. But we keep coming back for the music.

Ok, BJB aka Blue Jeans Blues, is a Hidden Jewel! They serve not your average bar food, respectable drinks and Real Live music. The location, is tucked away in-between a group of stores, restaurants, and bars. Its Dark (dont be deterred) inside all the time even though Happy Hour starts at 11 am. (There are little cafe tables/chairs outside if you need a dose of light) The Bartenders are welcoming, kind and funny! The location is prime for tourists (being centrally located near the hotels, intercoastal and beaches, however BJB has a loyal following of locals as well. This is no surprise, because because insiders know, there is nightly music featuring Jazz, Blues, and Rock & Roll with some of the most raw talented singers and musicians on the Southern Floridian Circut!! The crowd is eclectic and lively. You have the group of Ladies hanging out (ages 20-90), a possible tryst in the making, couples that may just want to come out and dance or merely a inquiring soul who wants to listen to some great live music. Now here is the Ahhh-mazing thing. They have 2 different featured performances (4-6pm) or (8-12am)!! You may even see a fellow musician sitting at the Bar listening, enjoying, vibing who will jump up on stage impromptu and bust a move lyrically (what a treat)!! We actually went a couple of nights and always stop by when were in town. Monday night Kat Riggins (petite powerhouse) Tuesday was Ms.Val Tyson and Band (Gracious, Talented, Generous) who brought a tear to my eye with her tribute to John Singleton. Fabulous evening and thoroughly moved! Ohhhh and Pizza thin crust loaded with flava!! Drinks were on point. You dont need a designated driver when you can stroll (gliding by end of night) back to your accomodations!!! Heres the lowdown, If you dont stop by BJB at some point this Summa, youre missing out!

I love it.Music could be a bit lower as it is a small place and volume is way higher than it should. But still I love it. Food is really good, pizzas are the best. Music is great. Live bands always.I like going during the week as it it a very popular on the weekends and am not a fan of the little personal space on weekends (not just here, I mean in life, weekends are way to crowded for me).

Great Music and just a quick cab ride off the Ft Lauderdale strip. Get away from the overpriced drinks and get to BJB!Never know what you’ll hear but it’s live and it’s good! Two bands daily!Great prices and intimate dance floor. If your lucky you’ll see “double” behind the bar.Food until 1am most nights.

This was my 2nd time, the musicians are all amazing but staff is horrible.I was just there again on Sat 1/18/2020. DISASTER!!!!1) reservations at 7, table wasnt ready. We asked asked where to sit, she shrugged and said hold on. Several minutes later, we were sat next to the kitchen. Ok we can live with that until our table was ready.2) drink order...water, coke & wine. recd....sprite, coke & wine and had to wait another 10 mins for her to bring water.3) order PERSONAL PAN 1 TOPPING PIZZA w/side salad. I said no mushroom on salad (due to allergy) and pepperoni on pizza. recd salad. great. everyone at table recd their order. 30 mins later still waiting on my pizza. was told it takes time. ok no problemFINALLY recd my order: LARGE PEPPERONI AND MUSHROOM PIZZA?! are you kidding me. She saw the look on my face and said well you said no mushroom on salad, so we put it on your pizza I was completely lost at this comment. I am clearly upset. Waitress ( using that term loosely) had an attitude with me & said well I guess we can make you another one I told her no, I will eat when I leave.The sisters who own this bar and staff all have attitudes and never smile. I WILL NOT BE BACK

Very much fun!! Large bar with fantastic live music! We found it in an amazing outdoor shopping mall. Music and restaurant bar are inside Blue Jean Blues. It is busy with people who enjoys blues, jazz and rock. We met the jazz musicians outside. They were very friendly. Later we could hear the blues from the live band and it is the real thing. True blues musicians. Great crowd. Ft Lauderdale is lucky to have this place. It is quite the place to go. Very casual. We were visiting from New York City. I wish we had a place like this. Funky and very nice. You can even hear the music from outside. Once I went in and there wasnt a cover. That was by myself. Probably earlier. Another time it was $5. Which meant a very good blues band. Just like blues is meant to be!

My wife and I celebrated our 28 years Anniversary on August 10, 2018. By word of mouth, Blue Jean Blues 3320 NE 33rd St., Fort Lauderdale, Fl. 33308 was recommended. If you like Jazz, and Blues this is the place you must visit. I was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee one of the birth places of Blues and Jazz, we were not disappointed at all. The drinks, and food, were exceptional, and the prices were very reasonable. One of the best Anniversaries since moving to Florida in 2012.

Funky little neighborhood type joint with live music every evening. Good service, friendly crowd of regulars and good happy hour prices.
