Egan's Ballard Jam House - Performance Schedule

Performance Schedule

Note: All performances have a cover charge that is set by the performers. If you would like to make reservations, call our main number at 206-789-1621 during business hours (after 6pm Tue-Sat) or email reservations@ballardjamhouse.com with your request. House revenues are from food and drink sales, so please come hungry and thirsty!

Egan's Reservation Policy:

Reservations are taken for specific shows. Our main room seats 46 people, plus another 12 on the side deck, weather permitting. Customers in these seats are charged the band's cover charge on entry. We usually reserve approximately 40 seats in the room prior to the show, with the remaining seats available on a "first come, first served" basis at show time. We attempt to seat walk-in parties together whenever possible.

Reserved seats are held until the show starts, unless we are notified of a delay.

In addition to seating in the room and on the deck, during nice weather we also have sidewalk seating available for full service without a cover charge.
