Went there for a concert - the service was good and they're efficient at everything. But they booted the band out at the end of the set as another event was booked. It felt a bit rushed to be kicked out of there so quickly.

Good coffee and atmosphere. Great toddler concerts on Fridays. Not much seating in the cafe side. And the parking lot is always full.
First time visiting and I love the place, decoration, atmosphere and sound. As an Audio Engineer I can say the sound system and operator are very good.
Wish they had bands I like more often, it s a very cozy and inviting venue.
I would have given 5 stars but I didn't because they no longer take cash, which I hate. Who wants to use a card for small ticket items like coffee!!!!
Nice, small concert venue that is a slog to get to from DC. If you're in the area though, prices for shows are reasonable, good (not great) beer list, and quality bar food (highly recommend the chili).
For seeing live music - you want to SEE the musicians. Jammin Java is a great intimate place that gets lots of really talented musicians. Not the sort of people who are going to go to Nissan pavilion, but still some great shows. Nice selection of beers, and good food.
Music, food, beer, and fun. Everything you'd want for a night out on the town!
It was sad. This used to be a vibrant store, but going-out-of-business has dampened the spirit of the staff. They were helpful but glum and the empty shelves didn't add to a holiday spirit. I bought good products at reduced prices, but it was still bittersweet.
One of my favorite venues; big enough to get in, small enough for an intimate performance. Add good food and drink to that mix, and a very good sound system with no excessive lighting, and you get a winner.
Great music, good beer, good food, and a pretty chill environment
Great spot, very nice servers, caught a great show.... drinks and beer menu were excellent, socially distanced the right way
I like these folks, 3 brothers Brindley who opened a music venue in the suburbs. It's a nice neighborhood family venue. See also their new venue, Union Stage at the Wharf.
Great venue, great sound! The food was good too! The beer selection, although minimal, was also good! Will definitely be going back!
Laidback atmosphere, great for kids or people who want to see musicians without the rowdiness.
Good show, but overpriced and not enough room. Always feel like a sardine in there
Nice place for a show and pizza. Comfortable to sky at the tables and the views are good.
This is a great little venue. If I lived closer to it I'd go more often. I haven't eaten the food, but the cocktails I've had we're good, the bathroom was clean, the staff were attentive, and there was generally a friendly vibe going on.
A community coffeeshop/bar/club with great local and national musical performers.
Great live music up close at a really reasonable cost, good food & drinks, and a friendly atmosphere.
First time to venue, great vibes and atmosphere. Just the right size, never too far from the action.
Great small venu. They even have a small VIP section to sit down and have food & drink service. don t let the outside appearance deceive you. The drinks were average but the food and atmosphere were amazing.
Amazing local venue for catching excellent talent. I've been amazed at the artists coming to play for 100 people in Vienna. Check out Stu Larsen or Israel Nash as examples. I've seen a few less impressive shows, but in general so thrilled to have a venue in Vienna that consistently delivers very good shows. Can go wrong if you are in the area, check it out.
Jammin' Java is allowing maskless live indoor performances as Virginia covid cases continue to rise. As a performer who hasn't played a show in over a year because I don't want to kill people, seeing this in the town I grew up in at the venue I played my first public gig at is pretty upsetting.
Intimate venue for live music, good beer selection and great sound
Great atmosphere. Super customer service
Rocking bands.
Great venue to watch a show! Nice selection of beers as well.
Always a wow! I have been going there since before current JJ owners the Brindley family musicians took it over 12 years ago and evolved its offerings, venue and menu to changed popular interests but the Annual Bob Marley Birthday is great Reggae dance fun for us. I mostly book the reserved table seating for good service and good views. Brindleys have xpanded extended their offerings to downtown DC and the Wharf with Union Stage, Anthem and more of contemporary entertainment.
They had a great comedy open mic night, and great mixed drinks, I can't wait for the next open mic night!
Great sound. The room is long and narrow though which isn't ideal. Very friendly staff though and artists seem to love the place. Plenty of free parking
Staff are nice, can get really close to the stage, cheap.
Good smaller spot to see favorite acts come through, have seen Civil Wars, Blake Lewis, Graham Colton, Rosi Golan and a ton more acts here. Enjoy their food even though small menu and service is always good. Like their set up with the seated shows as it's a laid back more intimate feel tmosphere.
Not fond of the card-only policy, but a nifty venue. Came up to see my friend perform in a group and had a good time (though the rows of chairs were disappointing in terms of seating, compared to the couple of tables at the front).
Great vibe, drinks are good. Katherine A. is the best!
ROCKIN' to 40 oz. to Freedom - Sublime Tribute Band
Really cool place - good parking, good food ans service.
Surprisingly talented original band performance. Older/mature crowd.
Always a go-to for drinks in the summer. Everything is made before you, so you can see how fresh or not fresh things are. Service is attentive.
Great place to see live music. Attentive service and a good menu, too!
Super cute and trendy venue for up and coming musicians!
Good venue but was cold inside, i think there is no heating system.
Love this local place. The food is good - I have had good many a good sandwich at all times of the day.
The drinks are nice too - tho coffee drinks vary depending on the barista.
Big attraction for this place is the music - the setting reminds me of hanging out during my college days with no care in the world.
Great place for anytime - whenever you are in the area - you wont be disappointed!
I've been to dozens of performances at Jammin' Java and I've never had a bad thing to say. The environment is intimate and the sound is great. If only every band could play here...
Socially distanced concert was still very enjoyable
Swanky place to grab a drink.prices were decent. Went for the comedy show. Wasn't disappointed. Great experience.
Willie Niles was incredible as usual. Venue is great and service excellent.
A great small concert venue with good sound. Good food and drinks options. Friendly and cozy.
Always a fun place to play. Also a good place to check out local and national acts. There is a well stocked bar and a short bit tasty menu of food items.
Really awesome venue for shows. Good snacks and apps. The premium seats are elevated, but off to the side. Such an awesome value for great talent.
Great venue with great bartenders. Your experience may vary depending on who you come to see.
Kids concert was awesome, coffee and food was A+++++
