This is a great spot! The Jazz was incredible. It is a small bar with great sound. The bartenders work really hard and make great drinks! I highly recommend this place!

Warm hospitality, delicious food, great live music.

Great Food, Great atmosphere, Great Adult Beverages AND a LlVE jazz band!!

interesting. food is great! the bartender pictured here touched my limes with his bare hands… and he kept going to the side to eat like taking chomps,,, i guess he was really hungry ???overall— unsanitary and friendly in a fake way. oh and he didn’t know what the menu pictures were.. like what??? do you want me to get something?? and i kid you not my friend was asking about the picture and i literally figured out myself so you would THINK the bartender could do the same let alone know off bat—

Came for the jazz and will probably only come back for the live jazz. The drinks were pretty standard, maybe a little too sweet on their fruit based cocktails. We had a reservation but had to wait ~20-30minutes for the table, despite arriving on time, since the party before us took their time to gather up and leave. The food was ok, and took a very long time to come out. Ordered the lamb chops rare, but only one of the 3 were rare. The chops varied in thickness too, which added to the uneven doneness. The dish was supposed to come with garlic mashed potatoes but came out with a few potato wedges instead, the spinach side was good. They add 20% gratuity to your bill and $10/head for live music.

always a great atmosphere for dinner drinks and jazz!

Jojo’s a vibe ! If you like jazz / live music then check it out when in DC .There’s a $10 cover for the nights the band is playing live for downstairs seats.The food is tasty as well .

20% gratuity added to check, $2 fee to per person because we brought a cake in.Oh and $10 added to tab for the band, was removed since they weren't playing before we departed.It was a little disappointing since none of this was mentioned when I reserved a table for five. Food and drinks were average.Do yourself a favor and go to a better place for the price.

The live music is definitely the best asset of this restaurant. Its 10 dollars for the the music. We were expecting more on the food, the fries and apple tart were the best of all. The ambiance is so cozy and inviting. I’ll come back for the music and the desserts.

They had a jazz player there. He was amazing. The food was delicious. Only wished they had more room to eat, tables are extremely tight. And no dance floor.
