WELCOME TO WESTSIDE BLUES & JAZZ

Live Blues & Jazz every Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Paul Vincent Perez and Cindi Jackson ( niece of Arizona Saxophonist Lou Garno ) created WestSide Blues & Jazz through necessity ( Ok, also maybe because they just wanted to ).

The West Valley was way over due for a Blues & Jazz Night Club that offers Live Blues & Jazz every Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday featuring the best Bands in the State.

When asked what he thought was the key to a successful Night Club in the West Valley , Paul said “ 3 Criteria are needed, Awesome musicians, Great Service and a Comfortable atmosphere and WestSide Blues will have all of that - plus.

WestSide Blues & Jazz offers a cozy, bricked wall speakeasy decor with very comfortable casual seating. There is not a bad seat in the House. (Except maybe the one behind the pole ??.)

We have a top professional sound and lighting system , a 35’ granite bar with comfy swivel stools. We will offer a large menu of custom Craft cocktails along with your favorite liquors and beers.
