Yoshi's Jazz Club

it’s very hard to get a seat (especially together if you’re w/ a group) and only about 60% of the shows are good. everyone is old. the food/drinks are really overpriced and not that good. that having been said, i am performing there in november =D

This might be a good place to go for an anniversary, or just a nice date…

A real intimate feel to it. Not a bad seat in the house, view-wise, but oh my aching back if I sit in those little rattan chairs too long! Go for the booths, and go early (6 pm) to tag the one you want.

I have been here a few times, and have seen some of my favorite shows of all time here (Joe Sample being one). The food at the restaurant is very good, if a little overpriced. The show space is great, because it is small, but it is also a little bit of a pain because it is so small. Seating here is first-come, first-served, but you are allowed to “tag” seats and hold them until show time. This means getting to Yoshi’s very early and standing in line for doors, entering, tagging your seats, and then going somewhere for dinner. The best seats are snagged within five minutes of doors, so get there early if you need a table for four, or want to be up close and personal to the performers.
