Dropped in for some great jazz during a visit to Nashville. Had a wonderful experience. Friendly staff and local crowd. Very talented musicians who played some great tunes. Good libation varieties with decent prices. Happy Hour can get packed. What a pleasant surprise during our visit, we would definitely come here again when in the area. Seating can be tight during busy times. Street and off street parking nearby.

Little Jumbo — The Cool Cat’s Hideaway
I wish I could tell you about the food, but truth be told—we came for the jazz. Word on the street was that Little Jumbo is the spot where the cool cats gather on Monday and Tuesday nights, instruments in hand and stories in their sound.
Tucked away just outside the downtown buzz, this place feels like a secret shared among locals—a neighborhood nook where time slows to the rhythm of a saxophone. Inside, it’s small, warm, and just dim enough to make conversation feel like part of the melody.
We recognized a few faces—those same effortlessly stylish folks we’d seen roaming downtown earlier in the day. Here, they’d traded sidewalks for barstools, chatter for jazz. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a mood, a pulse, a reminder that sometimes the best nights are the ones you don’t plan too much.
If you ever find yourself nearby on a Monday or Tuesday night, follow the sound. You’ll know you’ve found Little Jumbo when your foot starts to tap and you forget what time it is.

The atmosphere in here was so perfect for what we were looking for while traveling through Asheville, the ocean theme on 2/6 was so fun and magical The house of the rising mango and the seltzers we ordered were immaculate and the service was fast/friendly!

Best live music venue in Asheville, imho. Also a truly astounding and magnificent drinks menu. Heaps of great cocktails, some really unique stuff, and all kinds of other good drinks. The staff are lovely. This place is quite special. I see another fun-filled evening there in my future.

Love this place! I came here with my parents and we all really enjoyed our drinks. I was so happy to see zero-proof cocktails on the menu (thank you for offering those!) and both of mine were fantastic. My parents loved their regular cocktails as well. We grabbed a cozy spot by the window, which was really comfortable. Great atmosphere, great drinks – we’ll definitely be back!

This place has a great vibe! There was a live band playing, and while the music was a little loud, it was definitely worth it. The drinks are fantastic, and the atmosphere is really enjoyable. The service was also great. It’s a perfect spot to have great drinks and hang out with friends.

A perfectly cozy cocktail spot. Everything is well crafted, yet completely unpretentious. If you like whiskey drink or an old fashioned, make a leap for the Don Lockwood, you won’t regret it.
