About Judson's Live

A Music Lounge That Sets the Tone

There's something about Judson's Live that's hard to put into words. It's in the way the room draws you in, the way the music feels close enough to touch, and the way the rest of the world fades away. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again, because every visit brings something new to discover.

Inspired by the legendary listening rooms of the world's most musical cities, Judson's Live is a music lounge designed with stellar acoustics in mind, where artists of every genre sound their very best. Table-style seating for 140 keeps every performance up close and personal, and the atmosphere is low-key with a stylish slant, anchored by a grand piano that once belonged to the late jazz musician Judson Green, a beloved Dr. Phillips Center board member.

Settle in with a curated scratch-kitchen menu of shareable plates from Executive Chef Jason Klingensmith, a craft cocktail or pour from our extensive brown spirits list, or a glass from our exceptional wine selection, hand-picked by our in-house sommelier.

This is your place for live music. Come feel it for yourself.
