Q & A with Matt Manning, owner of The Blue Room at Grub & Vine.
What’s the idea behind The Blue Room?
The Blue Room at Grub & Vine is our live music and cocktail lounge that pays homage to the soulful sounds of Jazz and the Blues. It’s a collaboration between myself and renowned jazz artist Buddy Wells, who manages the live music performances and on-site recording studio while I look after the hospitality side of things.
What can people expect this Festive Season?
We have incredible performances lined up. You can view the programme on our Instagram page (@grubandvine) or website (www.grubandvine.co.za). We are also currently running a festive dinner-and-show package that includes one of our signature cocktails, a two-course set menu and a live show for R395.
Why is this new addition to the CBD’s music offering unique?
You’ll be able to listen to some of the best Blues’ talent in the country in a beautiful space, at a buzzing location. Also on offer is refined dining and an exquisite custom cocktail menu. Don’t expect your run-of-the-mill Pina Coladas or Mojitos here!
