Looking for a restaurant with live music in Ogunquit? Whether you’re planning a weekend visit or a night out close to home, there are a few places in town where you can enjoy dinner and live entertainment.
But the one that truly stands out is Jonathan’s Ogunquit, offering ticketed performances, weekend jazz in the lounge, and a full-service restaurant known for fresh, locally inspired dishes and warm hospitality.
Here’s a look at what makes Jonathan’s a must-visit, along with a quick overview of other local spots around town where you can catch some live music with your meal:
1. Jonathan’s Ogunquit – A Local Favorite for Dinner & Live Shows
📍 92 Bourne Lane, Ogunquit, ME
🎵 Live Music Venue + Fine Dining + Lounge Jazz
Jonathan’s offers something rare in a small coastal town – a complete night out in one location.
Upstairs, the intimate showroom hosts nationally touring musicians, comedians, and tribute acts throughout the year. Downstairs, the restaurant serves seasonal New England cuisine, including fresh seafood, hand-cut steaks, and signature favorites like caramelized salmon and seafood stuffed haddock.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, the lounge comes alive with live jazz from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, creating the perfect setting for cocktails or a relaxed start to your dinner reservation.
Why It Stands Out:
- Ticketed events in an intimate showroom upstairs
- Live jazz in the lounge every Friday & Saturday, 6–8 PM
- Dinner & a Show Experience! Dine downstairs before the show and enjoy a drink or dessert upstairs during the show
- Free parking and a convenient location near downtown and the Playhouse
- Seasonal menus, happy hour specials, and local flavor

2. A Lively Piano Bar with Sing-Along Nights
🎹 Casual Dining + Piano Sing-Alongs
This downtown spot is known for its vibrant upstairs piano bar, where guests often join in on the music and sing along to popular tunes. It’s a casual, high-energy space that’s popular with groups.
The downstairs area offers a more traditional dining experience, serving classic American fare like burgers, sandwiches, and seafood dishes.
Best for: social nights out, sing-alongs, and a playful atmosphere.
3. A Rooftop Eatery with Acoustic Performances
🍹 Casual Eatery + Rooftop Vibes + Live Music
Set just off the main street, this two-level restaurant features a breezy rooftop deck and a menu of coastal-inspired favorites — from seafood plates to salads and cocktails.
They regularly host acoustic musicians in the evenings, giving the space a relaxed, beach-town vibe that pairs well with sunset drinks or casual dining.
Best for: easygoing evenings, scenic views, and live background music.
4. A Modern Bar with Occasional Live Music
🎷 Bar + Occasional Live Music
This stylish bar and grill features a rotating schedule of live music — typically solo acoustic sets or local jazz musicians on select nights. Music isn’t offered every evening, but when it is, it adds a fun element to the modern, laid-back setting.
The menu includes modern American dishes and a strong cocktail list.
Best for: a casual dinner or drinks when live music is a bonus.
Why Jonathan’s Is Still the Best Bet for Live Music & Dinner
When it comes to live music and dinner in Ogunquit, no other venue checks all the boxes quite like Jonathan’s. From refined cuisine and warm hospitality to both national acts and relaxing weekend jazz, it’s the kind of place where you can build your entire evening, all in one spot.
Whether you’re seeing a nationally recognized act, relaxing with weekend jazz, or simply enjoying a great meal, Jonathan’s offers an experience you won’t find anywhere else in town.
