This chic lounge serves up vibrant Afro-Caribbean dishes alongside exceptional live jazz, making it a perfect spot for an unforgettable date night.
"Blue LLama Jazz Club in Ann Arbor has hired chef JJ Johnson as its creative culinary director to infuse its menu with Caribbean and West African flavors. The new menu includes dishes like jerk shrimp, plant-based yassa, and boneless rib eye, reflecting African American foodways in recognition of jazz’s roots. The venue aims to connect world-class music with world-class food." - John Reyes
"Live music and elegant food is a perfect date night combination and both shine at Blue Llama. Diners can listen to internationally-known artists while partaking in their sophisticated menu." - John Reyes
"The jazz club has become known for both its live music and jazz-themed menu. The menu features inventive takes on traditional dishes like filet mignon served with bleu cheese fondue." - Monica Williams
"Blue Llama is relative newcomer to the Main Street area, but has quickly proven itself a destination for its live jazz and inventive menu. Although the pandemic has limited the venue’s live music offerings, diners can choose from a variety of distinctive carryout and delivery pop-ups options including Blue Llama Bistro (French), Jibarito (Latin-influenced), and sister restaurant Of Rice & Men (modern Asian). Order online for carryout or delivery." - John Reyes
"Blue Llama’s smoked frozen grapes were just a small part of its cheese plates, but were a revelation." - Brenna Houck
