The Elephant Room has been Austin's premier basement jazz club since 1991, occupying an intimate underground space at 315 Congress Ave in downtown. Live jazz rings out seven nights a week starting around 9:30pm, with shows ranging from local legends to national and international acts. The long room features a bar on one side and a small stage at the end, creating an old-school basement jazz club atmosphere perfect for serious music lovers. Cover charges vary, and the full bar keeps the drinks flowing. This institution proves Austin's live music scene runs deep.
