Jung KimNovember 17, 2017Saw positive and negative reviews before coming. But I gotta give two thumbs up for this place. Really liked everything here: music, atmosphere, hospitality, clean restroom, recommended wine, etc.
Devrim GündüzJune 29, 2016One of best jazz clubs I have ever seen. Food is also great. Cocktails are also good. House wines are also tasty.
Lenora CravensOctober 21, 2018Make reservations, it will make life easy. Not outside drinks allowed. 2 hour max seating time during peak hours. Everything on the menu is fantastic. I love the wings.Upvoted 1 day ago
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014The jazz at Andy's ranges from hard bop to fusion, traditional to swing, and even Latin jazz and Afro-pop. Andy's makes a perfect nightcap for an evening dining downtown. Read more
Candice WoodringNovember 24, 2013Wonderful music, great service at dinner, good food. The only complaint is the chairs at the tables need an upgrade they are very uncomfortable. I would return again when in town.- p1noxAugust 10, 2014They have rules. You should buy at least two drinks, you can't record videos and you can't be between the bar and the stage. But you have to go, it's an awesome historical jazz bar!
Tim BushnellJuly 3, 2016Live jazz, great food, wonderful drinks, a nice place to spend the night and unwind or bring a date
Tony JordanSeptember 29, 2013Great music and location...maître 'd staffed poorly...unskilled at helping guests adapt to environment...takes away from the amazing music...
Adam McNeilJanuary 7, 2016Great Jazz Music. Need to go early on busy nights to get a good seat. A lot of obstructions if sitting off to the sides.
Eric WheelerApril 8, 2013I'm a vegetarian so I just had drinks, but this dude next to me demolished a rack of ribs and I was drooling the whole time. So get the ribs if you're a carnivore.
Heba-I-amSeptember 14, 2017Amazing live music, food and drinks. It's a great experience tbh and well worth the cover charge (which is only $10 btw)
InterContinental ChicagoSeptember 22, 2011Showcases local talent playing everything from traditional to modern jazz. Andy's also features great cocktails and a casual dining menu. It's just a short walk from the hotel.
Time Out ChicagoJanuary 25, 2012It’s a comfortable, intimate space; on top of the music, this River North restaurant boasts a respectable menu that tempts jazzheads to make an evening of it. Read more
Jake PearceAugust 21, 2011Awesome venue for traditional music - however not a great place for food. So my advice is to eat elsewhere and just go for the music. Jazz always makes people feel cool somehow.
Gizem ZOctober 29, 2017take me back here, best jazz club. Lowdownbrassband was on the stage. They are perfect🍷
One of Chicago's Best-Known and Most-Respected Jazz establishments, historic Andy's offers casually sophisticated dining with a musical menu of Chicago's top Jazz Artists.
Camilo Jaén RussoNovember 25, 2016Great environment, the twins rocked that night with their smooth jazz and motivated band.- The food is great. Pizzas ate wonderful. Also, sliders, caprese salad, scallop app,burgers. Nice selection of wines by the glass.
- Chad BuchananJuly 11, 2013An historic jazz club and a must-visit when in Chicago. Shockingly, the food is actually decent, and the drink pours are generous. (Ie, not a tourist trap.)
KendallMarch 26, 2014Great tunes, perfect atmosphere, good service. So wish a certain bar would follow suit 'W B'
ARDBEG ROCKETMay 2, 2012Ardbeg’s smoky flavor has found many fans here in #Chicago. Perhaps because its smoky flavor is sort of like liquid jazz. Yeah man. Like us on FB: www.facebook.com/ardbegusa- Local performers cover a range of styles from Traditional and Swing to Bop, Fusion, Latin and Afro-Pop.
alberto giacomelliMay 24, 2013Great music, two bands on the stage in less than 2 hours. Nice place for jazz lovers in town
Marty ErwinOctober 16, 2018Great place for jazz and the atmosphere is nice. The food was expensive and bland though. Even the skillet cookie wasn’t good.
Dave HoptonDecember 2, 2011One feels classy being here. Great service, though some drinks are pricey - to be expected at a jazz club though.
Chicago jazz orchestra is by far the best act to see here. Don't waste your time on others. Managers are really bitchy and push people out door if they don't spend enough $
Mark WilhelmsFebruary 23, 2010When you're there be sure to order a Pizza for the table!! Andy's Thin Crust is THE BEST kept secret in Chicago. Ribs are very good too!
Don YellowlightAugust 22, 2011If in Chicago and you like Jazz, you should like this place. Friendly, good music
Jurandyr Vasconcellos NetoNovember 28, 2011Bring the love of your life and your soul too. Great place. Undescribable music !!! Unforgetable moments !!!!
Y. Mithat COctober 19, 2018The band was great but sound setup could be better to enjoy the music. Food was OK, nothing significant.
- Shelly MansurAugust 22, 2011Music is always good entertainment... Never eaten here but drink prices are extremely reasonable...
- Ricardo DiazJanuary 29, 2012The music was very loud for my taste. But if you like Jazz, it was recommended by the Guide.
'Phoenix Thomas.March 12, 2011Make a reservation if you want to be seated for sure. Gets busy after 8.
