Black Cat Jazz Supper Club

400 Eddy St, San Francisco, CA 94109 | (415) 358-1999

Black Cat Jazz Supper Club is a bi-level jazz spot in the Tenderloin, a few blocks from Civic Center BART. The street-level room is a bar and lounge that opens in the early evening with no cover, good if you want a drink and a snack without committing to a full show. The live music happens downstairs in a low ceiling cellar space with dim lighting, brick walls and tightly packed tables around a small stage.

It feels more like a focused listening room than a bar, and when the band starts, most of the attention is on the music.

Shows are ticketed, and it is normal for nights to have two seatings, like a 7 pm set and a later 9 pm set. Tickets are reserved in advance and typically run in the few-dozen-dollar range, with different price points for seats by the stage and partial-view or bar seats. Series like the midweek Soul Sessions and artist residencies, such as pianist Luther S. Allison’s runs, are a big part of the calendar, so you often get the same band digging in over multiple nights. There is table service throughout the show, with a New American style supper menu built around shareable small plates, plus a cocktail list and a fairly serious wine selection.

The downstairs room is compact, so sightlines and noise can depend on where you are seated, and there is usually a time limit on early tables before the next seating. Parking in this part of the Tenderloin is tight and many people use transit or rideshare. Black Cat opened in 2016 in a historic jazz and nightlife district and deliberately revived the name of an earlier Black Cat supper and jazz club that operated nearby more than a century ago, so the place leans into that sense of an old San Francisco jazz room brought into the present.
