What travelers are saying

The Elephant Room, almost 30 years young, is a Jazz Club located in the basement of a building in the center of downtown Austin.

Tasty beers, great live music- perfect Austin feel.. Would come here again and again.! The place is by far one of the best for live jazz in Austin- be there to see it for yourself.

Inexpensive five dollar cover charge.All that I enjoy in a jazz club.

Excruciatingly Loud

The band had some sound/mix issues that didn't resolve as the night went on. I wonder if they tried to compensate by just being loud?

Place to go for jazz

If you like jazz you must know the Elephant Room. It lives up to its long running reputation for the best jazz in town. The venue is jazz-like and service is very good, but go for the jazz.

Happy Hour

Exactly what you want in a dive bar. Cheap, but very good $4 drafts. Live quality jazz playing for tips. Good service. Happy hour was 6-8.

Dishonesty at the Elephant Room

Someone is dishonest there. I tipped, but not 110%. They can keep my money and their thieving server. I will not return.

What you should know...

We happened on this bar and had a great experience. We were lucky to get there early and grab a seat. It filled up fast and is a small space. Good drinks and great Jazz.
