    The vibe was great. I was greeted and seated. The food was awesome. Came on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't super crowded. The band was great. Definitely visit if you like live music

    Such a fun spot with great live music! Reservations: You have to make reservations in advance. If going with friends, make sure to secure seats at the same table. Parking: There is a large parking lot with free parking! Woo! Food: There's a limited menu. Make sure to order early enough before the kitchen closes. I ordered the Pan Seared Salmon with pineapple salsa. My friends ordered the St. James Wings (Sweet Chili and Lemon Pepper). Everyone enjoyed their food! Drinks: I ordered a glass of wine and I enjoyed it! I'm not sure what my friends ordered, but they seemed to enjoy their drinks as well. Vibes: The live music is so much fun! The energy was bright, fun, and interactive. People were singing, dancing, and enjoying the music. People celebrating birthdays were celebrated and there were conga lines happening! If you're trying to have deep conversations, this is not the place for that. This space is for feeling the music and enjoying the drinks/food. The only thing I didn't appreciate was how hard it was to flag down waitstaff. When I was given my food (salmon), I wasn't given utensils. We had to get up after sometime to go get some.

    Food: Good Ambience: Romantic and classy Service: Welcoming and attentive Overall, this is a great place to listen to live music in an intimate setting for a date night or girls night. We were immediately greeted by the staff and escorted to our seats. V6 was our table and have a good view of the stage. We came here on a Thursday evening to see BK Jackson (awesome!) and the parking lot had ample free parking despite the show being quite full. I was only disappointed by them charging $26 for a standard alcoholic beverage and the fact that they don't list prices on their beverage menu. It was quite a surprise to us so please as your waiter for prices first before ordering. FYI the fries and wings were surprisingly delicious.

    Very nice music venue. Good food and service. We look forward to coming back in the future for more jazz events.

    We live SJL! The shoes are always top notch! The show started 42 minutes late tonight, but the musicians made it worth our wait! Brit was our server and she was 10000% on point! The venue is always cleaning and very inviting! We NEVER eat here, gave it a chance twice and it was a total waste! So we have food before coming. In fact, the ladies sitting in front of us complained about their food tonight and refused to pay for it....soooo ‍

    Always love my time at St James Live! Music is always great. The menu could use a bit of work though - we always eat before we come because the selections aren't that best.

    Yes yes yes! I loved visiting this gem outside of the city on my recent trip to Atlanta. This stop is going to be a must every time I come to visit. The show we saw was Christmas themed and it was everything. Not only was the show amazing, but the food was incredible. I would also come back without a show just to eat. The staff was super friendly and accommodating as well, I ate almost half my salmon when I realized it was undercooked in the middle and they promptly brought me a whole new meal!

    Delicious food, great drinks, and lively entertainment contributed to a delightful evening! I expected tapas, but we got actual DINNER!! And the desserts are delicious! Parking is free. Seats are reserved. Acoustics are great! Bathroom is extremely clean. I look forward to returning!

    So let's start off by saying my parking angels were with me. When they say arrive early or consider using rideshare, it's true! As soon as I pulled into the parking lot I started to get anxious because I saw the countless cars already parked on the side of the road. And it was dark! Thankfully, someone was leaving when I arrived! I paid $35 plus tax cover to sit at the bar and it was totally worth it! The band that night was Gritz & Jelly Butter. Very good band and quite entertaining to say the least. I ordered the chocolate martini because of a Yelp review and it did not disappoint! I also went ahead and ordered an appy (Vegetable Spring Rolls) despite the reviews on Yelp. And I will probably just stick with drinks next time. This is definitely a spot I look forward to visiting in the future and bringing my dad and/ or god mother. We would definitely arrive early and eat prior to our arrival and just enjoy a drink or two and the band.

    Attended my first date night at St. James live and my date and I both agreed that it was a very wonderful experience. We attend the live Tony Tatum experience show with a tribute to Debarge, Switch and Shalamar and it was awesome. Doors open at 6:00PM and we arrived early to secure a parking space and order dinner and drinks before the show started. We ordered wine and the jumbo lemon pepper wings and the food and waitress were great. We will definitely attend more shows real soon and I would definitely recommend this place to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries.

    Ask the Community - St. James Live!

    How is parking?

    Plenty of parking in a parking lot!

    Do you have to have ticket to get in? can you go for the food & drinks?

    The box office opens an hour before the shows. You can buy tickets to show then but it's much easier online and you can see what/how many seats are available.

    Is there a coat check?

    I THINK IT IS FOR BIG COATS, BUT WE ALL HAD SMALL JACKETS & BLAZERS.

They even had a band playing which was fun and unexpected. We also loved our moonshine drinks and the specialty margarita. The service was outstanding and the bathrooms were clean, which is always important. Would love to visit this place again!

Despite…read morethat, there's still a $5 "entertainment fee" per person on every check in addition to the auto-gratuity. I looked through multiple photos on Yelp, and everything already looked underwhelming, which is why I settled on something that seemed hard to mess up. To my surprise, even that was disappointing. Unfortunately, my food was cold and dry. The grits ARE NOT traditional grits and resembled overcooked rice. The macaroni&cheese was dry and lackluster, and the chicken thigh tasted as if it was refried, resulting in it being overcooked. Everything needed seasoning. Service felt combative. Our food was dropped off, and the server didn't return until it was time to ask about the check, even though we were still eating. Tourist may be keeping this place open. If you're local, this may be a spot to grab a quick shot and hear the band for a song or two, but I'd lower expectations for everything else.
