Awesome place to enjoy live Jazz music in Milwaukee! They have great cocktails and it is a very classic, but trendy atmosphere. The owner is very friendly to patrons. Come help this great establishment get through these difficult covid times.

Music was fabulous, waiters were very attentive, venue was beautiful! We will be going back regularly. Had a really good time

Very unique. Feels like youre in the 1950s. Friendly staff, amazing music. Cover charge was $12 each, but the cocktails are really good and reasonably priced (~$6) and they have an extensive menu of options for drinks. I dont believe they have any food, but youre definitely paying for the atmosphere, the music, and the drinks, and its well worth it.

Live Jazz band was very good. Not crowded tonight. We had a good time. Well be back.

Loved the atmosphere! Very cool place.

Doorman was very welcoming, bartender and waitstaff very nice and attentive. Band was great answer we truly enjoyed ourselves!

Way too loud. Good music shouldn’t hurt my ears. I had to leave. The staff was amazing. A gentleman helped me find a place to sit. It would have been nice if they refunded my entry fee as I left quite quickly. A donation to the arts.

Fun time & good drinks!

Great atmosphere.. lead band Paul spencer and crew were awesome . Had a great night for the first time in a while. Will come again soon. And I highly recommend it to anyone looking to listen to some jazz music like ..

First time at a jazz bar and it was great! Nice and relaxing place. Really nice staff!

Had an amazing time with business colleagues and friends ! Stopped off for jazz and cocktails post dinner from down the way. Had a perfect time. Will be back!

Smooth warm and some music to move the soul. A Place to to enjoy the music as the setting and tones are great...If there were more places like this to gather, drink, and enjoy the world be a better place ... Stop in and soak in...

Wonderful! Great band tonight, had an awesome time! Al Jarreau was in the building!I will be back.

ALL THAT JAZZ! AWESOME! COZY AND HIP AF!

Went to Carolines on a Saturday. Although the place opens at 7pm the live Jazz didnt start until 930pm. Its recommended to show by at least 9pm to get a spot and grab a drink or two from the bar. Bartenders put together some phenomenal drinks and provide recommendations. The Jazz music is excellent and goes on until about midnight maybe more. The atmosphere in the building truly helps set the mood.

Best Jazz bar in Milwaukee for sure. Good drinks, music, and very nice owners/staff working here. Can’t ask for more than that!

Great place and love the vibe..had a great time playing #atrain

We just discovered Carolines.Loved it.Great music Great vibes Great time

Went to Carolines on a Saturday night. $5 cover. It was packed, the drinks were tasty and the music was solid. Would recommend.

Best jazz club in Milwaukee

Carolines is a Milwaukee institution for a reason. Wonderful hospitality, great table service and excellent music. The diverse crowd is a testament to the magic of places like this.

Great jazz, good house band. Good drinks, and great table service.

I now consider this place a hidden gem. We were a large group on a Saturday night, attempting to enjoy live jazz, which turned out to be more difficult than we had foreseen. Until we discovered Carolines, with its $5 cover charge and accommodating owner. Her husbands band was playing and they were incredibly entertaining. Plus wait staff was attentive and efficient. Way to save the night! #NotAllHeroesWearCapes

Always a good time listening to jazz here. Great service from the entire staff.

Best date place / jazz music in town!

Great place

Nice little jazz club that looks and feels exactly as it should. Good service and the band was excellent.

I loved it cant wait to go back

The drinks are strong, the music is fantastic, and the employees are very welcoming!

Great music, great drinks and chill atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

Dont tell anyone!

Very nice place and the drinks were excellent

$5. cover charge great music. Wasnt crowded but thats when all the Harleys were in town. Been there done that. I liked this intimate setting. Great Sax. player headed for Calif.So that was an unexpected Treat. Plan on going back. People dont realize the musical Talent in Milwaukee.

Do you want a relaxing night? Carolines is the place to go. Great music great service great people.

Love the vibe at Carolines...great music, great people!

Great music, great cocktails, great atmosphere!

Superb music in a club made for Jazz! The bartenders are attentive, friendly and thorough.The Paul Spencer was on fire tonight. Excellent place for mellowing out or dancing.

Very cool old place. The band was awesome, and the vibe feels like its been that way for 50 years, in the best kind of way. My only gripe, our group got some *very* light pours on several drinks. And who puts tonic in an old fashioned? Better cocktails and its 5 stars for certain.

Warm, friendly place with well planned acoustics and sound system. Great performances. Really nice staff and owners!

Great band! (Paul Spencer Band). Phil the bar manager was good enough to reserve seating for eight. The only items to keep them from earning a five were occasionally slow service and the fact that seating was drawn out and the tables could not communicate.

Classic Milwaukee jazz establishment + superb cocktails.

Very low key for anyone seeking such discreteful environment.

Nice joint. Music starts at 9:30 on Sat.Saw the Paul Spencer band. Pretty good.$5 cover and 4 drinks @ $28. Pretty reasonable for 2 hours of good jazz.

This place was great. We came in from out of town and Jess the bartender took good care of us! Loved the vibe of the place. Worth coming to Go.

Jazz.Blues. and YOU. Enjoy life here. See you soon

Wonderful atmosphere, drinks and music!

Enjoyed a great evening of jazz and drinks. If you like jazz, youll like Carolines.

Nice and Cozy petite jazz lounge with old charm.. They dont have food but will allow food deliver or pick up. Service is nice. Nice vibrant baby boomer crowd..

Loved it but I wish they offered some kind of food item.

The service is unbelievable. They really take care of you here. Wonderful experience.

Great atmosphere and wonderful service. I love places where you can usually run into the owner greeting everyone.

Known as the number one jazz club in the state of Wisconsin. This is another venue on the top 10 places to visit when experiencing the town of Milwaukee. Its got a very historic feel and their cocktails are amazing!! Very cozy and perfect place to go after dinner for a good time enjoying music!!!

Great place! Great Owners!

Best jazz club in town

Place is nice once it the live Jazz gets going. On the weekend the band comes on at 930, Just FYI. Service is good and they are attentive, no snacks or food. Eat before you go. This place is great for drinks or after you eaten dinner and you want to hear so smootb grooves.Rashelle Rolle

Fun atmosphere amd spacious, but not necessarily a crowd really focused on the music. Definitely worth checking out, though.

The sounds of warm jazz flow out onto little traveled streets of Milwaukee thanks to Carolines. The overall experience any performance night is border line religious. I dont often review places but this is easily my favorite local gem. Even if jazz isnt your thing, do yourself a favor and come get lost in the silky rhythm.

Awesome Music... Some of the best Ive heard live in a long time.

Great atmosphere, phenomenal entertainment, and reasonable prices

THE BEST LITTLE GET AWAY, LIVE BAND AND BEST SERVICE!!

I absolutely love this place! The music is always wonderful and the drinks are always good. They have a nice wine list and also make classic cocktails. I really love the blues jam sessions and jazz nights featuring Paul. If you want an authentic jazz experience this is the place. Great for first dates, anniversaries and night out on the town with friends. There is no said dress code but you may feel a little undressed if you are not dressed up a little bit. Patrons normally wear dresses or suit jackets. Nice sweaters and corduroys.

Nice little club. Top notch music and staff. They are professionals.

Very nice establishment featuring live jazz bands and bar. No food but resturant next door delivers to bar. Owner drummer in house band. Good times. Gov. Walker stopped in.

Very intimate and cozy...with Caroline usually making her way around making sure everyone is happy! =) Be ready for a very in your face musical experience when seeing a live performance there...Wednesday nights are fun with the open jam session!!

This is best kept secret..Except to the entertainers! Has a historic Milwaukee ambiance. Drinks are city prices. Awesome place to bring visitors, business associates and any Jazz/Blues fan!

I had a wonderful time there tonight. The lead singer of the band is an awesome, down to earth woman. The owner was charming, the bartender was polite and HANDSOME. My sister works here and it is quite a great atmosphere.

Seems like a good place to me. Good music, good classic drinks. These people know what theyre doing. Im kicking myself for not coming here sooner.

Great date night!

One of the few places in Milwaukee to hear jazz. Nice cocktails and old style atmosphere....Milwaukee tradition.

Took a date there tonight sat 9/5/15. Jazz is not really my thing but hers. I still had a great time. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The band sounded great to me and the drummer kept me entertained with his jokes and dialogue between sets. Overall, I loved it. Just so you know there was a $5 cover and the mix drinks arent cheap.

Great music and atmosphere

Good place. Nicely decorated. It doesnt have food and live music starts at 9. Cozy place.

Fabulous live music. A Milwaukee gem!

Great food and excellent entertainment.

Friendly staff, great cocktails

Fantastic cocktails. Great date spot for chill music with a nice speakeasy feel to it.

The atmosphere, the music, and the drinks were excellent! I will definitely return here next time I am in Milwaukee.

Amazing venue, very atmospheric jazz club with top notch music!

A classic old school jazz club with superb customer service

Simply AWESOME

Awesome atmosphere,service and music.

Awesome place. Great music and wonderful people!

Awesome live music, great cocktails and a cozy atmosphere, but don’t expect to carry on any conversation with your date due to the music volume in this small venue.

Excellent jazz.

Very nice atmosphere & live jazz

Loved the music and atmosphere. My new go to place.

Great jazz often,, jazz blues, great fun larger than jazz estate. ..guarded parking...nice crew great old fashions. ...

Cool mellow atmosphere grey music fun time.

Small, beautiful, rustic place. Wonderful music and good people.

Warm, inviting interior makes you feel youve entered someplace special. You may recognize that the intent is to recreate the ambience of an old time supper club; you may just think it looks neat. What you will definitely recognize, if my 1st visit is any indication, is that this is a place that cares as much about the sounds people play from the stage as it does the setting in which those sounds are heard.This was my 4th time going to hear jazz somewhere in Milwaukee. Ive heard some pretty good music, but this is the 1st time I heard real JAZZ, and it was reallyreally GOOD real jazz.For what its worth, Ive lived my whole life in Manhattan, but this was the 1st tine I ever ordered a Manhattan. Delicious, enough so that I ordered my 2nd Manhattan. And I hope it wont be too long before I can return for my 3rd. Great experience.

Very chill, music and drinks nice place

Cool, jazzy place. Dimly lit and kind staff. You should dress nicely for this place.

Great club...terrible bartender. Short, snarky, rude & cant make an Old Fashioned to save his life.

Best jazz bar in town. Great atmosphere.

Live music was great and bartenders were very attentive

Great live jazz music venue.

Loved the music and service for the night

Great atmosphere music and laid back crowd. Bartenders are very cool.

Great music and bartenders really provide exceptional service

What a great place. First time I went, I was treated like a regular. The jazz is fantastic, too.
