Blue Note Napa

Place was amazing. I have to say the Bar staff is one of the best I have ever experienced. I have been to a lot of venues and bars. Their attentiveness and customer care, as well as interaction, was 5 star. The venue is small and quaint / up close and personal. Would and will go back for many years to come. Great experience all around.

First time to the Blue Notes end of March to see Morgan James, she’s an excellent singer. This place is nice and I really enjoyed myself. I ordered the combination set up they had of soup or salad (I got the salad), steak and a moose dessert. The salad was nothing to talk about, nice size, plain but I guess the dressing they used was a bit to acidy for me so I didn’t like it. The steak was small in portion but nicely cut and excellent. The moose dessert was also excellent to me.Drinks and meal can be a bit pricey but the atmosphere was very nice and the entertainment was awesome.You don’t have to eat, you can just watch the show but for me its one of those places you can’t think to much about the money just be prepared, sit, drink, eat and have a good time.Would go again, just depends on who’s playing, they have an upstairs and a downstairs so they can do two different events at the same time. Anyway I had a good time, they get the 5 stars mainly for having Morgan James who I enjoy watching very much.

We had the best seat in the spot! This was my first time at the Blue Note Napa to see Will Downing and it was a wonderful experience. I love the decor and vibe.

This venue is great. It has a intimate setting similar to a old school speakeasy. If you enjoyed concerts at Kimballs in Emeryville before it closed youll love this setting. Its smaller than Yoshis or Kimballs but has the same premise, food, drinks and live entertainment. A big plus is concert tickets are affordable and its located in a safe and relaxing area surrounded by eateries and shops. A great location in Napa.

Memorable lively music for listening, or dancing, plus expertly mixed spirits and drinks.

Came last year and had a wonderful experience with the staff and food, this time was not the case. The staff was extremely inattentive, we waited entirely too long to ask where the chimichurri sauce was only to be told it was there, it was indeed not.The medium rare steak was more akin to a seared tuna steak, dead cold center. The desserts were not very enticing after two bites either.Shouldve got the burger and ice cream.

Damien Cancelled via Facebook on 7/10, without Blue Note showing cancellation tickets are not refunded. Blue has NOT cancelled the August 13, 14 dates for Damien!! Publicly cancel please!!

Great little place. Good food drink. Can see the stage very well from bar.

Great food! Awesome bartender, and the atmosphere was relaxed. A wonderful jazz venue!

There is no better place to have an incredible music + wine experience in Napa. The intimate venues decor was classy yet welcoming, and my five senses felt immersed in the scenery. The musicians performing made the most of the venues size to have a real interactive experience with the audience, not to mention their incredible songs and improvisational jazz skills. The staff was extremely friendly (who wouldnt be happy when you get to jam out at work). I could have thrown a dart at the menu and been satisfied, the food was superb. Highly recommend to anyone in the Napa Valley.

Beautiful and intimate! Great venue for a delicious dinner and great show! KENNY G and his band were phenomenal!

Love this place. Not a bad seat in the house. Coming back in February

Fabulous! Had seats at the bar, view to the stage was excellent. Service was good.

Very nice entertainment venue. Enjoyed Avery Sunshine in a comfortable but tight seating space.

This is a great venue for a good night out and you definitely cant go wrong for a date night! The atmosphere is lovely!

What a great place. Im excited to come back. So intimate.

Great intimate venue serving food and drinks. The service is great.

We went as a group of six and had a fantastic time. Everything served was delicious from the coffee to the wine down to the dessert. Our waiter was fantastic, personable, continually looking in on us and rolled along with our goofy group perfectly. The band was also great as well as the dimmed lights and decor. My only complaint is since it was the middle of the week, the place was not full and therefore the sound/volume of the band did not get drown out. It was TOO LOUD. Deafening actually. We left at intermission. Our ears physically hurt by the last song. Other than this, I would gladly recommend coming here for great entertainment.

Sweet music, right in the heart of paradise

First timer. Celebrated my birthday. Saw Jon B. On June 29

Nice atmosphere. Food was tasty. Great service. Our server was Lalaini. Would definitely go again

If you have a chance to go to The Blue Note for a band you even remotely like, do it. You will not be disappointed. Its insane how close you are no matter where you sit. They have an excellent sound system as well that is pretty well dialed into the space so you wont leave with your ears ringing. Also the bar has a pretty solid selection and the people that work there are very friendly. You pretty much cant lose.

Venue nice but food was way too cold. Soup came out for 3 of us with no spoons in our napkins. Was too cold by time we got the spoons. Then dinner came and was also cold. Spent way too much money for that. Eat somewhere else first then go to venue. for 3 people and 6 drinks over $300. Too much

Went to see the boys of the summer Eagles tribute band was great!

These guys get some amazing talent to perform here!

Always have an amazing time! The embiance, performances, and food are worth the drive

It was our first visit to this Blue Note Club in Napa to see the very gifted and talented Kim Waters. We loved going to Blue Note venues as part of our Love for Jazz Travel Experience. The venue decor is exactly what you would expect for an intimate Jazz Club setting. The multiple columnar brass instruments display is amazing. The backdrop of the club bar has its own drumsticks collage. The menu offers a variety of tasteful appetizers. We ordered the cheese board, Cesar salad, and short ribs nachos, they were all very tasteful. Their bar selection is exceptional and their Sazerac was quite a surprise, smooth and well balanced. Lets not forget Kim Waters, what a show! We have now added this Blue Note Club to our yearly Love for Jazz Travel Trips.

Cozy venue but nice in an historic building.

Great venue! Not a bad seat in the room. Plenty of seating space. First time here but definitely not my last.

The food....is Napa prices... but if you can share appetizers, etc.. Its not so bad. The place is small, but thats what you want when you are watching great Jazz artists.

Fun place to meet new people while listening to great music.

Great food. Great atmosphere. One of my favorite venues for live music.

The Will Downing show was excellent!! Love the intimate setting!

Great venue. Good food and service. Saw Al Dimeola. Very intimate.

Great place and Aubrey was great too..

I was here for a private event.. and had the best experience ever bar in the 1st floor and live music In the 2nd floor.

My first time here. Im seeing Crystal Bowersox...shes awesome! Good food, drinks, music, and service. Will definitely be coming back.

I saw KENNY G here, it was great! The whiskey bread putting was scrum-deli-umptous!

Had lots of fun. Bartender were the best!!

Great venue! Very intimate, good food and drink. Fun time for sure! Will define be back!

GREAT venue...Every seat has a excellent view of the stage.

Great entertainment, best place for a night out on the town!

Seating process was seamless food great.

The legendary Roy Ayers

Great venue for live music. Food and drinks a trifle expensive, service adequate.

...it is small..great place to listen to music..$16 for a martini..

Awsome night full of music and friends!

Spectacular small venue- “intimate” doesn’t do it justice! Excellent food as well. I’ll definitely be back!

Loved the venue and the Duo Quartet performance!

Great performance by wonderful musicians at the top of their game

Went to see Morgan Heritage Small venue, good vibe I would come back

Great atmosphere,food and the music incredible.

Nice and cozy, with great music. Tonight was Leela James.

Wow!!! Blue Note seating incredible!!! Rick Brain was even better! The man is incredible!!! The venue itself offers good food although the portions are very small and prices are high, expect at minimum for a 2 course meal to fork over $50 per person not including drinks. Parking is about 1/2 block away dont know the price because I took Lyft to the set which ran between $5-7 (not including tip, and depending on how far you are from the Venue---I was less than a mile away )---Attire is dressy casual...Evening gowns not required.

Quaint. Intimate. I went alone and had a bar seat...perfect evening! They also had a menu for ordering a full dinner. I just had a glass of wine so cannot comment on the food. Great customer service! Easy parking right across the street in a free lot.

Great place to be for quality music! Also, even better working there as well!

Received comp tickets at Napa visitor center. So glad we went...great music and atmosphere

We sat at the bar facing the stage and had a great view. It was little crowded but we managed to squeeze in. Nice venue; food was nothing special but we were there for the music.

Show was fun. Food was pretty good, not great.

Great venue and amazing sound

Venue is nice looking, intimate, with good potential for excellent sound, but lacking in the seat arrangements. The performance by Kenny G and his band was superb.The issue we had was the seating arrangement for the Side Tables. Ours were deep in the corners behind the stage front, so where we seated, we looked at the back of the percussionists, which meant the sound was drowned out by the drums and we could not hear the keyboards or lead guitar who were located on the other side of the stage. To top it off, the tables were long picnic table style, and the seats were packed in to an uncomfortable density, especially if you plan on having a meal or a few snacks.Better seat arrangements, and less greed of packing in more bodies would earn more stars for the venue.

Eric Roberson a great musician and band!

Nice, intimate setting for live music. Good food. It can get hot waiting outside in line for the doors to open.There is a large free parking lot behind the building to the northeast, entrance on Pearl st.

What a unique, fun spot in the heart of downtown Napa! My family and I went for one of their weekend blues shows and it was incredible.While we opted to dine elsewhere before the show, I did glance at the food at other tables and it looked delicious. Cocktails were creative and fun!

Really nkce environment very classy I really enjoyed it

Best place to go for a drink and enetertaiment

Pretty cool place. Got to see it in action a little bit... I wanna see it with 1000 people in it... Just sayin.

Great venue with great acts. Really enjoy the attentive service and diverse musical line ups!

Great venue for live music. Bar seating, tables and booths are all available with full service from bar and restaurant. The food was sort of hit or miss (the burger was on point, the brussels sprouts were killer, the chicken breast was dinky and dry AF). If you want to dance, youre kinda screwed as the area in front of the stage is for seated guests, so you have to try to find your happy place off to the side of stage right. The night we were there, band was immediately accessible after the show for meet and greet, which was cool. All in all, a pretty intimate experience.

Killer sound, classy joint, good food.

I always love it here. Great place for live music and amazing food!

Blue Note Napa has a spectacular sound quality, with a state of the art amplification system by Meyer Sound. This is music as it is meant to be heard. The prices, for Napa, are really quite reasonable and the kitchen and bar deliver.

What a great evening. First time there. Will for sure go back. Food, service and venus an A +++++

Intimate venue for music. Good sound quality, but a couple times we have had problems where the mixing was off for the first few songs (vocals got lost, for instance). Food is tasty but pricey. We like to get the bar seats, show up early as it’s first-come-first-seated, and then nurse a drink and appetizer through the show.

Intimate venue, great staff and drinks

This place is alright. I went to go see a band that played their own original songs; however, even though I praise the band on their original songs, I would have enjoyed it more if they played classic songs that the crowd knew to sing and dance to.

This place was outstanding. The customer service was far above par even for Napa. The blue lightning takes a little time for your eyes to adjust but once they do it its spectacular. The decor and interior design of this small well laid out space is genius. The entertainment was a band called Royal Jelly Jive and this was one of the best shows I have ever witnessed and it only cost me ten bucks The singer head the voice of an Angel and the band wove the musical notes together like an Egyptian tapestry #unbelievableThe doorman / promoter was friendly and very knowledgeable about up-and-coming promotions. The manager was super friendly with no ego and very welcoming. There was no one walking around with small man syndrome and there were more than enough beautiful women to go around. I highly recommend this place. The food and drinks were fabulous I will definitely be back. And no no one is paying me to say all of this I keep it real.

I saw Brian Culbertson with my beau on 12/30/16. The show was FABULOUS! Brian is just about incomparable! The venue is really nice with lots of ambiance. However, I would recommend a menu change, which Im sure is an easy fix. I hesitate to make that comment, but I would be remiss if I didnt. Tighten up the menu and the Blue Note would be PERFECT. The staff, Gary at the door, the hostess, and the waiters are first rate! I did not approach the bar, so I cannot review the bar staff. I look forward to experiencing my next show at the Blue Note. :-)

Great atmosphere! Staff was great and the music was even better! Go check this place out!

Its so blue! Beautiful venue, small but comfy

Love the size and cozy feel

Great People and food. High school friend playing at the Blue Note. Mark Allen Felton from Chicago. Great job Mark. Thank You Blue Note!!!

Great time with David Victors supergroup! Food was great the brussle sprouts were delicious.

Very nice atmosphere good food intimate setting. The music to me has always been top notch. Drinks are designed for you to drive home .

This review is long overdue, as we attended a concert literally years ago, but a small gesture made by Jeroen, the managing director at the time, and maybe still now, really stuck with me and made the night. Jeroen personally delivered coffee to me as I was in desparate need. I had been up since 2am, worked all day, and drove 2 hours for an 11pm show (St. Lucia) plus I had a couple drinks at dinner, so my long day was really catching up with me by 11pm. The upstairs bar wasnt selling coffee, and soda wasnt going to do the trick, so Jeroen brought me a frickin delicious cup of coffee, complete with saucer and spoon! I was able to wake up, enjoy the concert, and even revisit the bar for some drink drinks. Whats more is that there were 2 random folding chairs on the wall that my mom and I were able to sit on since I was so tired and my mom has back issues. Our night at the Blue Note (upstairs venue) is one to remember.

Great atmosphere! Staff was great and the music was even better! Go check this place out!

Wonderful Intimate Setting !

Great spot for good music

Small but very intimate and great service

Cool little place. Tables are too close together though.

Love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful and sound system is awesome

Live this place went here with a friend. The music is always nice and the food is good too. You should check it out

Had a fantastic evening watching one of my favorite trumpet players Rick Braun. The drinks were great the skoch was great very intimate setting.

Service was the best. Really liked the band Shotz

Enjoyable venue for entertainment and a good bite to eat . My favorite Roman Apple Cake.

Great small venue. Music was incredible. So much fun in a small venue. Wine list was nice.

Food was excellent, waitress was fantastic. Show as always was great. Love coming here for either full dinner or apps and wine.

This is a super cool place. At the time of our visit, Ottmar Liebert and team was playing. Food was EXCELLENT.

The pulsators rocked the place, warm evenings in napa, and the band celebrated froggy s Birthday, Blue note treated the band wonderfully dinner for all great

Great venue. Great experience.
