Open on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the Velvet Note is quickly gaining visibility as one of the most unique things to do in Atlanta.  Since 2015, the Velvet Note was has consistently been named one of the 100 best jazz clubs in the world, and the best Jazz Club in Georgia!   Guest attire ranges from smart casual to polished. And remember, The Velvet Note is the ONLY jazz club in the Atlanta area that has never, ever charged a food or drink minimum.  Here’s what musicians say about playing at The Velvet Note.

Please keep in mind that The Velvet Note has  a full restaurant and a full bar (check out our menu HERE) , and we always serve our award-winning cuisine on the finest of PALM LEAF WOODEN PLATES.  That’s right – palm leaf plates!  Why in the world  do we do this?  Because we want you to hear music, not the clang of silverware hitting ceramic.

A video is worth a thousand words– click HERE to check out the highly-accomplished pianist Tyrone Jackson attempting to perform against the noise of a typical venue that serves both music and food. And now, click HERE to hear Tyrone accompanying Karla Harris at The Velvet Note.  The difference is priceless!

Read what guests and musicians are saying about their experience at The Velvet Note:

(We) had GREAT time at The Velvet Note last night. The entertainment was very good and the staff was courteous and professional. Tamara was a perfect and very accommodating host. I’ll be telling people visit this unique gem in Alpharetta and will be back myself. In this intimate 40-seat venue there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The VIP sofa is quite comfy. The short ribs were to die for.” 

— Chrystal Lord Stachura

This venue is absolutely fantastic. It is a performer’s dream come true; classy atmosphere, listening audience, comfortable and relaxed…not stuffy. And the best part is its host, Tamara, who sets the tone for each evening, like we’re all there, friends and gathering for a common purpose – digging deep into the music.” 

— Nashville Jazz vocalist Annie Sellick
