The first show I came to here I was hooked! If your a fan of good local and national jazz music then this is the spot to come to in Charlotte! Parking is easy and it's close to public transportation. The small plates are delightful and the drinks are reasonably priced. I am now a member of the club (Baby Grand member) and can I tell you, the perks are great! Middle C recently had an mini remodel and looks so nice! It's a great place for a date, or just for a group of music lovers to get out and be taken away by the smooth sounds and snappy beats. I recently took my group of lady friends and we

This is one of my favorite spots in Charlotte . I love the ambiance and the craft cocktails. The tickets rage from $32 to $40 ish dollars , you can check out the schedule on their website. The food is pretty good we had a Buffalo chicken flat bread and Meatballs . The star was the desert we had a sweet potato cheesecake that was delicious !

Middle C Jazz is always a good time!

I got my tickets Wednesday and Thursday received a email with a buy one, get one free promo for the same show. I reached out to Middle C to express my disappointment and they made it all right. That's customer service! This was a good night

I was a little disappointed. I am a new "sustaining" member and our service was not impressive. One dish was overcooked. Show was very good and acoustics fine. Second time a charm?? Parking was confusing. Should have accomodations for handicapped. If a client tells you it's her bday, she wants to be acknowledged. Stick a single candle in a small dessert and have the waitress hum/sing if you can't acknowledge her/him on microphone...

My husband and I attended a concert featuring Alex Bugnon; a phenomenal jazz pianist. Safety protocols were followed, we had finger foods which was good, venue was intimate and we had a wonderful time. We are looking forward to returning next month. Highly recommended for jazz, R & B and gospel music.

TOP NOTCH JAZZ!! Loved this place. The ambiance was just right. The acoustics were sound, the bar had reasonable prices and the entertainment was exceptional. We were lucky enough to see Michael Lington & Paul Taylor. Tickets were affordable, seating was excellent, service was solid and the show was literally unbelievable!
If you are in Charlotte and have an evening free, do yourself a favor and book a show at Middle C Jazz. You won’t regret it!

This is a cool spot. They are called a jazz club but they have other types of performances. I love jazz and this is a spot that always delivers when it comes to good music and a great atmosphere. The drinks are excellent. The staff is friendly. The Flatbread pizza is probably the best food item if you're looking to eat. If you're looking for a grown and sexy night out, this is the spot for you.

Nice atmosphere with friendly service, great desserts and wine. There is a parking deck near by no hassle with searching for parking. Live music and bands are great. I saw Mike Philliphs he didn't disappoint. Sorry, no photos just videos that I can't uploaded.

Great experience. Truly a hidden gem in Charlotte. Music was great and service was outstanding. Not a bad seat in the house. Nice variety of Drinks and food on the menu and they are reasonably priced. It’s located in the new Wells Fargo building which is diagonal from NASCAR hall of fame. Parking deck is only $6 after 5pm or you can park for free along side the building if space is available.

Absolutely phenomenal live show, we saw the Sol fusion band, oh my! First off tickets are a bit pricey at $45 for Non members, but I've got to say, it was definitely worth the price. The set up felt like we were back in the 60's with tables set up around the stage so everyone has a great view. The band which consisted of a pianist, singers, guitarist and saxophone (I think?) everyone was great! I danced like it was my last night on earth. No matter how shy or reserved you are, darlings, you are going to get up on your feet and shake what your mama's gave ya! That's just how

Loved! Loved! Loved! Our night out here at Middle C Jazz. First time visiting the establishment. Tables were spaced out, had a clear view of the stage. Performers were phenomenal and had everyone dancing and out of their seats! Tickets were a bit pricey, would be great if they could stretch the shoes out to a full 2 hours.

They have tapas style small plates, we tried- meatballs, Brussel sprouts, fried mushrooms, pepperoni flatbread, chicken flatbread, and couple bottles of wine. Overall the food was good but be sure to bake this in when planning.

Unfortunately I will not be returning to this business. I was nearly half way through eating my food when it unexpectedly began tasting like mint. The description of menu item did not have mint or mozzarella cheese as ingredients. Upon inspection of what I was eating it turned out to be a chewed piece of gum mixed in my dish. Truly disturbing and disgusted!! No apologies from management!!
Never again will I patronize this place again!!

We came here for a Fathers Day show! When I tell you we had a time!! Marqueal Jordan was the feature including the band & JD as host. I will say I love the ambience of this place and will be back soon. I attempted to order a virgin mojito, and it came out tasting just like lime - kind of like a hangover cure. Shoutout to the waitress Whitney who came and saved the day! She recommended something with a peach purée and that was just right!! Thanks Whitney!!!

Love this place! They do an exceptional job with the social distancing sanitizing Etc. However wish the staff wouldn't cross the floor so much while the performance was going on... seemed like a lot of unnecessary crossing the floor

Another fabulous evening at Middle C Jazz! Upon entering we were asked to sanitize our hands. Next our temperatures were checked followed by full body scans using a UV light wand (to kill germs etc on clothing). After being checked in each group is taken to their table one at a time. Arrive early to get the best seats. Within a few moments of being seated, we were greeted by our waitress who brought menus and water. The food selection is slim but very tasty. The drinks were delicious also! The performance by Paul Dozier and Friends was on point, including a good variety of songs. The show always

Visited the Middle C Jazz club as our first venture out since COVID-19 closed everyone down. We have been there before and always had a great time. Last night was no different. When we arrived, in face masks, we were greeted by employees also in face masks, had our temperatures taken, used hand cleaner and got an ultra violet light scan. Once inside, the tables were spaced at least six feet apart and maybe more. The club was not at all crowded and the service was great. They are limiting their food options but the bar was fully stocked.

We were entertained by a great vocalist, Michelle Renee and

Great place for jazz and so happy Charlotte has a jazz lounge again. Took my mom here since it was an artist singing Luther Vandross, her favorite. At least that's how they marketed him but he only sang Luther maybe 3 of the 10 or so songs. She was in town so we made it the highlight of the weekend, but we were very disappointed. Not sure if u say great marketing or do better. We plan to go back but will have to read more about the artist and what the "tag line" of the show truly means.

Nice setup, you're seated first come first serve. Waiters come to your table and serve

Whoop! I am thankful to have another go-to spot! My first visit led me to arrive about 10 minutes after the start of the show. Yes, it had begun on time. I was floored when we were told there were no seats. I'm thinking, I have a ticket, where is my seat. We were told there was standing room only. Not having it, we begged (and pressed) and two seats were created just for us, in back but center stage. Note - I saw at least one empty chair so be diligent. To the gentleman and lady who assisted us, we are forever grateful. The show was awesome and ran consistently until it was time to go so that
