The Century Room - Tucson, Arizona

I wish I had a place like this near where I live. What a find! We were here on a Wednesday to see Hot Club of Tucson perform and it was an incredible show. They performed so many great songs, many of which I was familiar with and many of which weren't typical jazz songs but were performed in such a creative jazz-inspired way. The space is really nice and the drinks are fantastic 10/10 for music, ambiance, and drinks 🙂

My one complaint is the process for getting your tickets online shares very little information and isn't totally accurate. When we purchased our tickets it said if you upgraded to the preferred (closer) section, that if you didn't arrive on time people in the regular section could move up and take your seats. We weren't certain we would make it on time because of an earlier dinner reservation so didn't want to risk losing our seats and decided to just get seats in the regular section. That information about giving up your seats isn't true at all. We saw multiple tables of people arrive late and get seated in the preferred section which they had originally reserved.

Also the preferred section gets table service while the rest of the tables need to order at the bar. I wish this was advertised as well. ALSO, the tickets were stated as being for two different shows, an earlier set and a later set sold as two separate ticket options. Because it was a weeknight and not a weekend, they didn't really follow this even though that's how the tickets were sold. The second set started WAY earlier than advertised and I saw someone show up very late because they had gotten a ticket for the 8:30pm show but the second set actually started around 7:50pm. The entire show ended at almost 9pm so this person basically missed over half the show they expected to see because it wasn't advertised accurately online.

The Century Room is a 5 star jazz venue as far as I'm concerned, however the misinformation and confusion in what they advertise online regarding their shows is really unfortunate and should be resolved for the future. I would hate to be that guy who showed up for an 8:30 performance only to realize the show was almost over already.

So, my lovely date and I popped in here on a Thursday night downtown stroll. We knew there was a show that night (Andaluz), but we also wanted some time to talk. So we needed to check the room out (neither of us had been before).

Beautiful room and bar. The small stage is to the right as you enter (east). The bar runs along the north side of the room. We were warmly greeted at the door by the staff.

We elected to sit at the bar, where we could watch and hear the music without having to buy tickets for the show. They have an eclectic assortment of cocktails that are in the $14 range. Both of ours were very good.

We elected to move on to Bata. While the Century Room was beautiful, warm, and inviting, they were recording the live show that night so kind of discouraged talking. We will definitely be back tho. They have a lot of exciting shows on their calendar, and it's a small, intimate venue!

Very cool, intimate, small club right in downtown Tucson.. It was my first time there, celebrating the release of Sarah Tolar's record "Something Sarah." Her performance was great, the atmosphere was great and the service and food and drinks was spot on. If you get a chance to see a show at that intimate setting, you should check it out.

This is the best Jazz club in Tucson by far‼️ The food is just what you would expect at a top club. Nice meats and cheeses and crackers. We were there for the opening of the Tucson jazz festival last night? It was super. ‼️?

Had an absolute blast! We love a great jazz club and this checked all the boxes. The wait staff was attentive, drinks were delicious, and the music was wonderful!

The Century Room is a gem, showcasing both local and national jazz musicians. The table service is attentive, and management clearly knows and respects its regular patrons. There’s an ease to the place, which has a well-appointed moody interior and seating that’s capped around a hundred, making it an intimate listening room. The semiannual jazz festivals bring great community access and just another way the Century Room shines!

I spent my birthday here last week and it was 5 stars as soon as we walked in! Great hosts and server, delicious Mezcal (my first time trying) and the band was dope AF!! Highly recommended if you are in the area can’t wait to go back!

The atmosphere is awesome, and it is only eclipsed by the wide array of musical acts that play there. The Century Room also has a very cool Sunday night jam session where different artists show up to play and sing throughout the night. I simply love this place.
