Great intimate venue. Solid accoustics. Friendly staff.
Food is delicious, drinks are good, and music is amazing!
Nondescript from the outside, tucked away in the corner of a suburban strip mall, this unique venue will make you feel good again about the concert experience. Independently run and showcasing a lot of independent acts, serving drinks and light food fare that won't break the bank while you're tapping your feet. No crazy bouncers and security everywhere in your face!
Great venue, great sound! The food was good too! The beer selection, although minimal, was also good! Will definitely be going back!
Love this place. Great music venue with fantastic staff. Check it out when you get a chance
One of my favorite venues of all time. I don't eat here (there is a great Thai place in the same strip mall) but the service and drinks are good. Decent ticket prices and they handle events well.
We went for a birthday party. We did not have any of the venues food or drinks but the bathrooms were fine.
Went for a comedy show. Great space and good service.
Great music venue. Awesome sound, great bands, the right vibe to see a great show.
What a phenomenal venue! Large enough to feel the energy of the crowd and small enough to feel intimate and special. Looks and sounds like venues ten times its size (and price). If you haven't been, give it a visit. You'll be happy you did!
Great atmosphere for live music and now comedy too!! Hilarious. Check us out!
Intimate setting with good food, drinks and service. Great views of stage and good acoustics.
Fantastic music venue! Great music, good prices and plenty of parking!
Great venue and reminds me like a hybrid of u st music hall and black cat.
Awesome time seeing Ponytails and Cocktails along with Dugi B's Yacht Rock Experience. Awesome bartender working the front. Will definitely be back and can't recomend it enough.
Always amazing local and traveling musicians. Good food and prompt waitstaff. Book the VIP tables early, even during the week, they can sell out fast and they are well worth the price.
Nice small music venue very friendly staff will definitely come back to see my favorite singer there again its worth the 8 hour drive
Great small, intimate venue that also offers a high quality food menu and great service. One of the best small venues around.
Went there for the jams, passed up the java for booze instead. The dim lighting, music, and decor was reminiscent of my high school days setting up for coffeehouse where local bands would play, we'd decorate with holiday lights, set up board games, and sell snacks - good times. Jammin Java is a small venue so we got a good view of the bands. We went to see Various Cruelties - decent band and cool accents too. Afterward, we had the opportunity to meet the members and garner autographs. It was pretty neat experience and at the low cost of $10 or $13 a ticket, will definitely visit the place again.
Good music, nice atmosphere. All that was missing was a bigger crowd!
Good small music venue with surprisingly tasty eats.
Great intimate venue with reasonable prices. I feel lucky to have it 20 minutes from my house.
Alway enjoy the show. Never know what to expect. Intimate venue : reasonable ticket prices. Bar and limited menu
Great venue for music shows. We enjoyed our first show here and will be back for more soon.
Wonderful venue with great sound, full bar, and a good menu with lots of options.
Went to the live presentation of NoSleep podcast! What great service and a great venue! Well worth the trip from Annapolis.
Went to see my neices boyfriend's band in a battle of the bands. What a cool venue in the middle of Vienna!
Great atmosphere and people! Came here for a comedy night and couldn't be more pleased with the service! Didn't get to try the food but smelled amazing and looked even better ;) Seems like a great venue for a show!
Love the service and the acai bowls at this place though it does tend to get quite crowded at times. I suppose any good place suffers from other people also wanting to be there lol!
One of the best kept music venue secrets in the DC area.
Great Venue!!! The sound is amazing and it really compliments the music that is brought.
Come meet Coach Cotton, Willie-Bob, and Boogie-woogie Benny! Get your Rocknoceros on!
Small place with an intimate feel. Been there for a number of shows and the staff has always been nice. Good drink selection too.
First timers here and we absolutely loved it! We had a fantastic dinner and front row seats to see Emi Sunshine. She was fabulous as expected and the sound was AMAZING! Awesome spot to see your favorite musicians. We will definitely be back and will recommend this place to all of our friends. Great job Jammin Java!
Jammin Java is amazing. I have come here countless times and have always had so much fun. I live 2 hours from this place, but it is so worth the trip. They have shows for everyone, always keep their website updated on events, and have great food paired with a great atmosphere. This place is perfect for people who want to have a concert experience without crappy parking and a big crowd. The prices are amazing for such a mellow and close up experience. I highly highly recommend.
Great local music and enough space to jam out. Awesome staff and location. I've played here myself and its a great place to showcase your talent.
Great venue. Saw Deep Creek play here and it was fantastic.
I'm biased because I live near here but the music and ambiance is always fun. Great pizza and beer selection, plenty of parking and friendly informed staff make the visits always worth. All of that helps overcome the somewhat wonky club layout, especially for seated shows.
My favorite music venue. Not sure the front row seat for Susanna Hoffs will ever be bested
A NoVa gem. They book great musicians and support great independent music.
Best place for affordable small live music concerts in the DMV. Tickets are always cheap, and bands are always great! This place always reminds me of the DC Rock and Roll hotel, but with actual parking on site
Great place. Good atmosphere for music. Great drink list with great prices.
Excellent, intimate concert venue, recording studio, restaurant, etc...
My kids were able to pet the great white sharks, they are surprisingly docile after a macchiato
Nice place, good show schedule, and good food selection!!
Great venue, incredible sound system, and awesome pizza!
Intimate feel for a small concert, excellent acoustics, and despite others' experience, reasonably good service for the numbers of people and the performance effects.
The place is very clean for a concert venue, the staff is friendly and helpful!!
Nice place for live music. Bar food is a bit pricey.
We are so lucky to have this live music venue in NOVA!! Fantastic music, great sound, super friendly vibe, good food and drinks, totally affordable ticket prices and the location is a great alternative to trekking into DC. No matter who you see, Jammin Java doesn't dissapoint!
Great concert venue with full restaurant menu and full bar. They get a great variety of musicians here with shows that you wouldn't often see in DC or at larger venues. One of my favorite spots to see a show!
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, super helpful staff, not the "we're super tough people" kind of staff. Was refreshing.
Mystery Friends Band played great music and the pizza was delicious!
We've been to many a concert here but recently they open South Bowl here. WE LOVE the Acai Berry Bowls that they have. My go to in the Nutella Bowl. First off you cannot beat nutella on anything but this combination with the acai berries is magical. The granola here is FABULOUS and I wish I could recreate it myself. You must try these.
Good mood. The coffee was a lot like Starbucks in that they need better coffee. The musicians they bring in really make they place
Everything about this place screams, "F*** YEAH!!!"
Best place for affordable small live music concerts in the DMV. Tickets are always cheap, and bands are always great! This place always reminds me of the DC Rock and Roll hotel, but with actual parking on site
Kick-ass little venue with an awesome ambainace. Makes for a real close quarters show. And they serve coffee til the show's over (even on weekdays)!
Big acts in a smaller venue at a reasonable price. Good food , good drink selection , and helpful staff.
Great music, good beer, good food, and a pretty chill environment
Music is the focus of attention at Jammin Java and that's one of the many things that attracts me to this place. They have great acts coming to play there, it's always clean and there isn't a bad seat in the house! Oh the Java is great too! Rock on my friends!
