We were staying nearby in Chelsea and we walked past the decorative signage one of the first nights we were strolling through the neighborhood. It wasn't until further in our trip that we were needing a meal that we found 606 Club online. This has that speakeasy vibe, with the subtle entrance, the narrow staircase and another door before you're told about a 20£ cover charge should you choose to stay for the live performance starting at 8pm. We only wanted a meal, as we were tired from travelling, and were seated close to the door. I had my reservations, as the music was the primary reason the crowd was there. But you know what? We had a delicious memorable meal here! My partner had steak frites and I enjoyed the Thai chicken (curry). We also shared an order of courgettes Provençal. If I had one mild issue, was that the waitress described the courgettes as "oh it's courgettes with tomato". My DEAR, they are NOT JUST with tomato! Provençal is this savoury delicious play on garlic, seasoning, and herbs like basil, oregano, thyme. With the right seasonal veggie it is this warm hug that reminds me, "hey, maybe I could be vegan". We enjoyed our meal, to say the least. I swear as we were ending our meal, and the jazz musicians were starting their set, the chef came out to listen a bit and looked out into the dining room and we made eye contact. I nodded, with a satisfied gaze, and he nodded back. If I could visit 606 Club in my future visits to Chelsea, I will! read more

What a cool and interesting place. It was a little bit hard to find the entrance and a little strange having to be buzzed in but once we got past all of that it was a great dining experience. They let us know as soon as we got there that they charge a £20 cover for the music that starts at nine. We weren't staying for the music so they omitted that from our bill. I had the lamb and my wife had the salmon. The service was very fast despite their menu stating that their kitchen is small and can sometimes run slower. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Over all great experience. I wish we had time to stay for the music. read more

Wow! What a great place to hear good music. Basement dive venue. It feels mildly dangerous, thrilling and sinful just to enter. But relax, you are quite safe in this soon to be completely renovated and gentrified Chelsea neighborhood. Dinner was more than acceptable. Hearty food in the style of what your mother makes, if she is a good soulful cook. Big portions, high quality ingredients, robust flavors. I had a lamb rump roast, it was delicious. My wife had the sea bass, it was wonderful. Big plates of food for 18 British pounds each, a bargain in this obscenely expensive city. Wine list has 30 bottles. We enjoyed a fruity well made Pinot noir from Romania. 24 pounds. Cover charge was a little extra for a special evening, still just 14 pounds. The show was 3 complete bands playing over 3.5 hours. Again this is a remarkable bargain. All employees are sincere, happy and helpful. I felt comfortable as no one was putting on any airs. I've visited jazz clubs the world around both big and small. I grew up in New York City during the 1960's where I saw world class American jazz musicians in legendary venues. Well, now it's 2018 and all those NY clubs are dead & gone. But glory be, this 606 club in London carries the eternal flame of fine jazz musicianship with care & respect. I flew all the way from San Francisco California to come here. If you are in London you can damn well get your butt in a taxi and come here to enjoy an evening of rollicking music and support this great club. Call. Make a reservation now. You're welcome. read more

What a surprise that this little jazz cavern was 3 blocks from our rental apartment in London. I had read about it prior to arriving in London and it turns out while we were here the club was celebrating their 30th anniversary. How lucky were we to hear three different groups in a 3 hour show, all while dining on a delicious meal. We started with the chicken liver pate, which was creamy and served with buttered toast. I had the sea bass and hubby had the lamb. Both dishes were flavorful and tasted like they were made with TLC. Fair warning, meals take about 45 minutes to arrive at your table. It is a very small kitchen and they prepare each dish individually to order. The room is small and intimate with a good sound system designed for such a small space. The level of talent was such a delight. I highly recommend a visit to this jewel of a club! read more

I will start by saying that they don't have the license to let you listen to music without serving you food. They let you know about this after you already book a table with them. What happened to me was that, I was being pushed to order at least 2 starters or leave. The staff pushed this policy on me in such an aggressive way that made me feel really uncomfortable. The waitress talked to me like I was stupid and the manager told me "you either buy a starter or you leave" What kind of place would rather manipulate their clients to order more food with them than get a proper license? What are you, first year in business that you can't afford a license? No responsibility was taken by the management when I shared my frustration. Those people are absolutely unprofessional and should not be working in hospitality. read more

Omg! Such a great hole in the wall place you'd never know was here!! The music was fantastic. If you seek live R&B in London, this is the place!!!! Come for dinner otherwise you won't be able to order drinks. read more

What a phenomenal place: the entire establishment imparts a 1920s era speakeasy atmosphere. The 606 Jazz Club is situated in a fairly abandoned street, and you have to look for the place. Then you ring the bell and someone comes to open the big, heavy, metal door. You descend the stairs and you enter the dimly lit room. I felt right at home and did not want to leave. Ever. The jazz was so amazing I did not even care anymore about how the food came out, which came out surprisingly well. I started with an oven metled goat cheese and then had the salmon, which had a little too many bones in it, but whatever. The wine flowed richly. I went with a large group for my twenty-first birthday, and they were very accomodating. For groups they have a special menu, which includes wine, music charge, and two courses. It came down to a very reasonable price. Unless you're a member, you need to eat in order to drink. I don't think they accept credit cards. Finally, if you're with six or more people, you need to make sure there are both males and females in your party. Definitely make a reservation. Keep that in mind and you'll have a wonderful evening. Truly one of the best jazz clubs, but bottom line one of my favorite places in London. read more

606 Club - Jazz & Blues Near Me - London, XGL

I really enjoyed my Sunday lunch here seeing Trio Manouche who were fantastic and well worth the trek across London. We were a big group but they had a table set up and service seemed pretty efficient. Food is massively overpriced but the roast beef was actually quite good although NO CONDIMENTS - WHY WHY would you make me eat roast beef without either horseradish or mustard? WHY? Maybe they had it somewhere but I by the time I next saw a server I had finished everything... Dessert was called something like the MISSION of CHOCOLATE which sounded incredibly exotic but actually was just chocolate cake. Nice chocolate cake though. Overall would definitely come back and recommend to others. Be warned though: there was a jazz flute. Jazz flute is the worst. I say that as a flute player. It just shouldn't be allowed. read more

With the grandiose claim that it's one of the best jazz clubs in Europe, it's impossible not to step up from Europe and compare this club with some of the world's greats, such as Smoke in New York or Yoshi's in San Francisco. But that's not really fair - sadly London isn't exactly a jazz mecca. But actually this is a pretty damn fine jazz club! The formula is a members-only arrangement if you just want the music and drinks, but if you're not a member you can go to a concert as long as you have dinner. And the menu is simple, robust food in the manner of steaks, lamb rump and sea bass fillets type of thing, but nicely done, generous, with style and amusing little flourishes. Wine list OK, not staggeringly interesting. Overall it can get a bit pricey if you add up all the bits and bobs - food, wine, cocktails, music If you love jazz and live in W or SW London, becoming a member is a serious option because it'll pay for itself with just two or three gigs. The stuff that really matters is the music and the atmosphere. It scores high on the first front, and a little inconsistent on the second. In general the gigs are of a very high standard, with excellent musicians, generous sets, great acoustics, the right level of closeness to the audience, and a great deal of enthusiasm. The audience is mixed - there are people who don't care for the music and talk loudly and stridently all the way through, even through the quiet numbers. The management ask for respect for the musicians and for those punters who like to listen, but some people just don't care. This is pretty crap when you've spent serious money on food, wine and music. BUT - this is a great club, great venue, mad location, very recommendable. read more

--Well hidden --Secret underground music club! --Great music --Food is also good --A little hard to find. So be strong. Have faith in google map (or whatever form of navigation system you have) 606 club is a great jazz club that also serves (surprisingly) good food. Well-hidden in mostly industrial district, the club has a certain feel of secret club. You need to pass a few tests before admitted. First, there is no neon sign outside that advertises its business. So you need to have a correct address with you and have faith in it. After some back and forth and process of elimination, you will decide that the locked iron gate is indeed the correct entrance you are looking for. Next challenge is to summon the courage to press the buzzer next to the gate and declare your name to the gatekeeper. As you walk down the narrow staircase that leads to the underground dungeon, a thought might occur to you that perhaps the whole thing is a trap and that some aliens are waiting inside to do whatever that those alien people do to you. DON'T TURN BACK. BE strong. You are only moments away from the great music experience. Only when you've passed all of these tests, you are admitted to the underground secret music club that is 606 Club. Not to mention their music is always great. The food is also pretty good. If you intend to eat there, I'd recommend arriving before the set starts as it's awkward to eat when they are playing music. read more

Speakeasy? Absolutely. That nobody I've spoken to about this place has ever heard of it confirms this. The fact that the entry is barred by two iron-grate doors, two buzzers, and a guy asking your name before he lets you in also seems like good pretty good evidence. Not to mention that it's in a basement and down a dark street in the middle of Chelsea nowhere. Miraculously, however, once inside, you find the place packed! Gosh! Where did all these people who are in-the-know come from?? Though it looks as though most have all been patrons for years and want to keep this little gem to themselves - so they don't breathe a word to keep it that way. I don't blame them. 606 is SO COOL. Unbelievable music, familiar underground vibe, actually feeling like you're on stage with the musicians you are THAT close... yes, please. If you like music (and obviously, especially jazz) you MUST make a pilgrimage to this intimate venue to see some of London's best up-and-coming jazz musicians and let an old-time groove wash over you. read more

606 Club is consistently rated as one of the top two jazz venues in London, and I'm certainly an enthusiastic fan, for the following reasons: The music. Fantastic. Sure, I've heard the occasional laughably self-indulgent set here, but the vast majority of stuff has been top-drawer, lose-yourself-in-the-music performances. And let's not forget that you get 3 hours of it over the evening. The venue. Hidden behind a locked iron gate, with only the numbers '606' giving any hint of what lies beneath, 606 has to have one of the capital's longest established (1988) speakeasy-style entrances that are all the rage now. Once you've been buzzed through and ushered down the stairs, you'll find yourself in a dimly-lit basement: straight ahead, the main music and dining room and to the right, the members bar. In contrast to Ronnie Scott's slick interior, 606 has a scruffy charm, with the musicians quite close to the tables. It's true that these tables are quite close together but that's jazz clubs for you (the Vortex in Dalston has more tightly packed tables)! And, I'd contend, many an ordinary restaurant these days. Besides, it's not something that really impedes customers in any way. The food. That's right, I'm going to stick my head out and say that I think the food is actually pretty good. Put it this way, it's clearly better than typical pub efforts, yet not so differently priced. What's more, food is served until 10:45 on weekdays and 11:15ish on weekends. How many pubs or restaurants in London can claim that? The prices. The £10 music charge is great value compared to the £20 minimum charges of Ronnie Scotts and Pizza Express Jazz Club. I also think the food is pretty reasonably priced too. For example, I had some sausages and mash for £12, which at the Lots Road Pub down the road costs £11.50. Alcohol is not extortionate either, and nowhere near the ridiculous £10-£15 G&T prices charged at Ronnie Scotts. An oft-repeated criticism of 606 is the requirement to buy a main course (starting from £10) in order to order alcohol *if one is not a member*. That's a fair point. All I can suggest to would-be drinkers that they consider enjoying some dinner with their jazz, or, better, become a member of 606 (£95 first year, £60 every year thereafter) which means you can have a drink without food, as well as other benefits. It's true too that it's relatively inaccessible to public transport, necessitating a 10-15 minute walk from the nearest station (Imperial Wharf) or tube (Fulham Broadway). This is unfortunate, but again, seemingly the lot of many an uncommercial jazz club. For now, I'm going to rate 606 4.5 rounded down to 4 whilst I explore London's jazz scene further. But I have a strong feeling that I'll be revising it upwards soon. read more

Overall, big fan of this joint. I went here on a Saturday night verryy last minute for London. My friend and I were both in the mood for some live music, and in particular, jazz. After assessing some of the more obvious options and deciding they were pipe dreams (Ronnie Scott's, Nightjar to name a couple), I rang up 606 and in the first shocking turn of events, they actually answered their phone on a Saturday the day of the performance! In an even more shocking turn, they actually had availability! I was floored and ecstatic. This place is located down by Imperial Wharf and very well-hidden if you don't know what you're looking for. Once you manage to make out the 606 sign across from an old power station, you go downstairs into a speakeasy-esque jazz club. The venue itself is very intimate compared to some of the other London jazz clubs I've been to. I actually like it better than the much-hyped and world-renowned Ronnie Scott's to be completely honest. The music was excellent. Gilad Atzmon, a talented Israeli saxophonist, played with his quartet the night we visited. The food, though nothing to write home about, is certainly adequate. I ordered the honey glazed duck leg which was quite pleasant while my friend had the hake. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Probably some of the best service I've had in London! Check it out if you have even the slightest inclination. Especially check it out if you're feeling spontaneous in a city like London which tries to eradicate most forms of spontaneity - you might just get lucky like me. read more

Live music is where life begins and ends me. It is all I've known since being a small child and will be with me forever. Over the years, London has routinely closed more and more live music venues. What made the English music scene so amazing. In years gone by was the ability for bands to come through the smaller venues, get paid an okay amount of money. All the while learning their stagecraft. Among these, the 606 club has been with us for many many years. I really hope that this place never ever becomes a victim of the widespread music venue closures. I have seen some of my absolute musical heroes play here over the years and I've always enjoyed every visit. I find all of the staff here friendly yet laid-back. They know when to talk and when to leave you to enjoy the music. I love the exposed brickwork decor and mood - appropriate lighting. It really sets the ambience as it should do. Every time that I have chosen to eat here. I have loved every bite and you can tell that it is prepared with care and attention in the kitchen. On my most recent visit I had the Sausage & Mash - and I can tell you I enjoyed it so much more than I imagined that I would! Even such a simple dish can be prepared here and turns out to be delicious through every single bite. As you can see, I am an absolute fan of the 606 Club. I cannot wait for my next visit! read more

I love the 606. It gets the whole dinner-with-Jazz thing right time after time. I've been a good few times over the past 20 years and the formula hasn't faded a bit. Great to see lots of younger people there this evening, all enjoying the music just as much as me. read more

Excellent jazz venue that I'd recommend over Ronnie Scotts any day, much more intimate and less of a corporate sterilised feel that you get at Scotts. The only downside for me was the convenient for 606 licensing reg that states that anyone drinking alcohol must have eaten a substantial meal there. That turns the £12 entry fee into more £30-40 (£50 for me actually, including wine). The food wasn't very good either: burnt nachos with tinned tomatoes (!??), humous starter with a side salad of one 1/4 tomato and one oliver (why bother!?). The steak and chips was ok, ribeye a little tough but cooked well, nice home made hand cut chips. The wine (Rioja Crianza) was well priced and tasty. Very enjoyable evening though, the food just feels a little bit like a con. read more

This is a lovely wee Jazz venue. Small, intimate and serves food! The only thing I don't like about this venue is that it is very small! I kinda felt like I was back in school, having to be quiet whilst paying attention to the teacher. Otherwise disapproving looks were thrown my way...as in 'stay still & be quiet!' My attention span needs regular breaks every now and then, otherwise I zone out and fall asleep.... This is a personal thing so not really a fault with the venue, more a fault with me. So, if your attention span is longer than mine & you like Jazz, I would recommend 606 club. If it is like mine, you may prefer Ronnie Scotts. read more

A very nice venue with dedicated, passionate staff, nice food and drinks... Listen to the Music !!!! read more

Really fun atmosphere, the 606 Club is a small venue with an authentic passion for British jazz and blues. It's an intimate setting, but not great for a date or a group outing because it's impossible to chat over the music. This is all about the music, so expect it to be very loud and dark so you don't socialise. Good music & decent food. The server seemed overwhelmed, they probably need more wait staff. read more

One of the top jazz clubs in London. Mostly hosts British groups. Food is pretty decent. Good place for a genuine jazz club experience. Unlikely basement dungeon on an industrial street. Barely noticeable from outside! read more

My good friend Mike W invited me to the 606 to see his friend (Tony O'Mally) playing with his band on a Friday night. Sad Face: - Pain in the bottom to get to by public transport. It's about a 15 minute walk from the nearest underground station - Fulham Broadway. - Once inside it's a bit like a church hall with lots of uncreative wooden tables and chairs crammed in. - There is very little space to manoeuvre due to the above. - Food is extremely overpriced. 15 plus quid for a salmon steak, mash and some veggies. - You can't have a drink (alcoholic beverage) unless you're eating. - Waiting staff (one lady in particular) rated herself pretty highly and gave an air of, 'I'm above this.' Happy Face: For the music alone I'm giving this place four stars. Despite all the above, I would go back because I love jazz and the manager does a great job getting in some amazing artist. I also very much like that professionals from all walk of the music world, go there. People who really appreciate each other talent. There is nothing more I enjoy than listening to the stories of somebody who has been in 'the industry' for decades - it's a pleasure and a treat. Ps. Reservation are imperative because as previously mentioned the space is small. Also it is very loud, so next time I'll take some earplugs. Gosh I'm getting old! read more

This hidden place is a real gem for jazz afficionados. Enter through a dimly lit side door (which you'll need to be buzzed through) and take a trip down the basement stairs. You'll find yourself in a remarkably cosy and inviting room (or two) filled with tables and chairs. Food service is at the table and efficient. The food is good and certainly better than I'd have expected from this kind of place. What you come here for, though, is the music. Great acts can be found an dthe atmosphere adds to the vibe. Like most jazz clubs, it's lost its smokey atmosphere now, but for me that's all to the good. Live 606! read more

Oh so disappointed. I really wanted to like this place. Be advised...you must order food. Ok, no problem, right? I can order desert -- which appeared to be lovely...but no, you must order either an entree or an appetizer. Huh? I ordered a bowl of soup and shoved it away as I had already had dinner. It took the waitress a good 30 minutes..yes 30 minutes to even acknowledge me...I could have used even a glass of water.... The music was fine...I would have liked it over an order of Bailey's Irish Cream Brulee...oh, but that wasn't allowed.... Anyway, cool place, decent music, snarky waitress, weird rules. Affordable. Disappointed. read more

The 606 Jazz Club is totally amazing! It is tucked away across from an industrial monolithic power plant in trendy Chelsea. We were taken through a marquee door, down an iron staircase and into a couple of very intimate rooms which were cosy, well lit and enchanting. The live jazz music is fantastic, and the food (the boars sausages with mash is divine), the atmosphere is warm and intimate. The Club has a special place for chatterboxes away from the main music (why do some people go to a jazz club and talk?) The 606 Jazz Club is an authenic (smoke filled) jazz club with quality musicians, it has a great vibe and cool music-loving people, So, if you want a unique and unforgetable musical evening that will leave you with vivid impressions for a long time... experience 606!! read more

The non-descript metal door leads down into a music lover's paradise. The owner Steve's enthusiasm and love for music are infectious, and when he gets on his flute to jam with the performers, you're in for a treat. The food is decent and decently priced, but that's not why you go. You go to sit back and enjoy the music. The lineup is varied and eclectic, staff are friendly and the venue is cosy so you get great access to the performers. Have been going for years and love this place. read more

Not bad place at all. It's a bit tiny and sometimes overcrowded. If you are not a member then you have to book in advance. The meals are basic but still tasty. I've been here three times. Two of them I was totally satisfied but once I had some problems with the staff (obviously they are not friendly and polite every night). I wouldn't give 4 stars if it wasn't the live music. I like jazz and I like the band that plays. I am sorry I can't really remember their name but the music is really nice. Once I had to opportunity to book a first line table and the experience was amazing! read more

This is a live music venue and the Jazz that I went to see here was truly inspiring. I however have not had the best experiences at this venue as the staff can be very rude. The first time we went and pushed the buzzer the man said that we couldn't go in because it wasn't a place that you just turn up at for a drink and he was concerned we would be rowdy. Whilst a drink would have been nice, we arrived at the bar sober and were there for the Jazz! I think he just stereotyped us and assumed we thought it was a bar and wouldn't take it any other way. Also when we finally organised to go we went as a little group. Because of this they gave us the worst seats which were by the door so we had very limited views of the band. We were also right next to the staff area and the staff were constantly talking! Whilst I respect the 'you have to either sit at the back and not drink', or 'you need to have a substantial meal if you wish to have a drink' policies. I do feel this venue is very snobbish in it;s attitude. I have been to some lovely Jazz bars around the world and I have never been treated in this way before. Nor have I ever had 'policies' imposed upon me so that I can listen to Jazz. That said the meal was very tasty. However the choices were very basic. The meal and entry to the event is about £40-£50. What I also found very confused was that in the cost was included half a bottle of wine. Whilst I understand that they don't want people to turn up to just drink and not appreciate the Jazz, it seems very odd if you pay for a meal that they would enforce that you drink. That said, it may be the case you don't have to drink the wine and they will take this cost off of your bill. However as the staff literally ignored us, the menu wording was confusing and there was no way to clarify this, I am not really not sure if this is the case! The venue is also very cramped and basic. It's just a large brick cellar so nothing to write home about. It is however functional. It does seem that this is a negative review, however if you do like Jazz and can deal with the terrible staff and their attitude, then book yourself for a night here! I however in the meantime will be looking for a more friendly venue. read more

A tiny place in Fulham where a door bell has to be rung to gain entry. This place is for true jazz connoisseurs, I'm talking real jazz, where there's sometimes no melody or no words and at times you find it hard to follow but somehow it always manages to sound amazing, but you can't quite understand how unless you're a musician That kind of jazz! So, obviously the main feature of this bar stroke restaurant is the live music and the musicians and singers. The musician's stage is placed in the centre of the restaurant section against the back wall, tables and chairs form a semi circle around the stage. This place is very cramped and tables are literally on top of one another, going to the toilet appears to be a huge struggle here as half the restaurant has to back out of the restaurant to let you get to the bathroom! On the other hand it has a very intimate feel and you almost feel as though you're all here supporting the jazz cause in one big unity. I was taken here for my second anniversary last year and really enjoyed myself, at first I was worried that this place may be slightly too poncy for me, but ultimately it really was people just going to enjoy some jazz. Me and my partner had a table reserved right next to the stage, it is imperative that you reserve a table for 606. We ate our meal alongside the jazz musicians, I think it's always nice to eat in different settings, whether it's music, theatre or dance, it's nice to dine this way, so I particularly enjoyed the double whammy of food and music both at once! The food was good, not as good as the music, but did the job, the menu consisted of dishes like wild boar sausages with mashed potatoes, veal with new potatoes and salad. For starters I had Nachos and may I say these were the true nacho's, baked in the oven and smothered in cheese, just as the Mexican's do, so often I order nacho's and literally end up with what would seem to be a bag of Doritos tipped onto a plate and shoved into a microwave with a dollop of Guacomole, Cream cheese, salsa and a helping of cheese that wouldn't even be sufficient for a sandwich. So compliments to 606's nachos! For desert I had a chocolate truffle cake, chocolate cake being the high light of any meal was mediocre, it was more of a chocolate truffle cake than it was a chocolate cake I'm all for the chocolate cake, but it hit the spot as far as chocolate goes. Jazz is definitely 606's focal point and although the food is good, you wouldn't be wrong to visit solely to enjoy the music, however the best seats are in the restaurant and unless you are eating you are not allowed to be seated in this area. Be wary of the fifteen pound charge which is slapped onto your bill if you are not a member of 606! read more

Hidden gem for very good nice live music. Food wasnt anything remarkable but decent enough although we waited for over an hour to be served. Do not order the duck spring rolls as they don't have any duck inside. For the rest a fantastic experience. read more

Love love this place, the 606 is a great little spot. Non members are required to book a table for diner, but the food is a hearty affair and drinks reasonably priced. But you ll not be there though for the food, its all that jazz. . . The doorway takes you down a steep set of stairs to the basement, it feels so right, intimate cossy and immediately welcoming. The night I visited we had a great trio playing and the set was simply stunning, food good and service great. All in all I'd whole heartily recommend this place, for a seriously smooth evening. . . Nice.;) read more

Great little hideaway :) downstairs jazz bar with great music, great wine and great food. What a treat and find!

If you want something different, chilled, classy and inspiring come here. An awesome venue- great vibe as soon as you walk into to the crwded and buzzing room. In a cellar underground it truely feels like youve escaped the real world for a divine few hours. The jazz speaks for itself. 606 often has some of the most reputable muscians playing for which reason it has aquired a great reputation. The staff are friendly and service pretty good- though you must accept you are coming to jazz club and not expect immaculate and meticulous atention from the waiter. Likeise te food is good- but secondary of course to the atmosphere and music. The room is crowded and can get noisy deending on the crowd. But again this adds to the atmosphere. read more

I came here on a Saturday evening, after hearing great recommendations from some friends. I had the benefit of staying somewhere local, but if you don't live in the area, it can be quite remote and hard to get to. The venue is underground and has a great vibe that you everyone says is very similar to that of New York. We arrived at 9 PM for a 9:30 PM show, but our food orders were taken almost immediately and everything arrived promptly, so it was not an issue at all. Some people prefer to come early so they aren't eating in the middle of the performance, but we didn't mind. The food is nothing to write home about - I had a steak that was basically your average Wetherspoons pub grub, and my friend had a chicken fajita burrito that was about the same - but you generally have to order a main if you are not a member. Whether you think that kind of steak is worth £20... probably not. As for the show, the band was on time and entertaining, and the performance is surprisingly long, with an intermission around 11:15, and then they kept performing until 12:45. About a third of the crowd left at intermission, which is fair if you have to catch the tube to get home. If I were to come again, I probably wouldn't stick it out to the end, but for those that love jazz, this place hits the spot. read more

If it wasn't for the music, I don't think this place would survive! I have visited a few times and something has always got my back up but have gone back as I do agree that it is one of the best jazz venues in London. It's intimate and cosy. My issues are mainly with the food - average at best and way over-priced. On one visit my husband and I arrived a little early and were plonked down in a dingy little corner while we waited for the venue to be set up. We ordered a glass of fizz which came and was completely flat as if the bottle had been open for a couple of days. We then ordered one of the more pricey bottles of red on the menu to go with our dinner but when it arrived it was already open, and tasted nothing like the wine we had ordered despite having the correct label. I have never been to a restaurant where the wine is not opened at the table or in front of me so I found this rather strange and it did make me wonder if they had filled the bottle with a different, cheaper wine! I am not fussy but I do expect to get what I pay for. I would much rather pay a higher music charge and not have to have a meal, atleast I would feel like I was getting value for money. I do feel also that the food service is a bit of a conveyor belt, the staff are not rude but they do the absolute bare minimum - which is fine in a Wetherspoons when you're paying a fiver for a burger but not at these prices! They just make you feel like an annoyance and do not come to the table for anything unless they are flagged down. It is busy but I am sure they can put more staff on with the prices they charge. There is nothing exceptional on the menu so I don't imagine their food costs can be very high. Saying that, as said above the music & vibe is great so would recommend on that basis only. read more

Really enjoyed myself here, the music was fantastic and the food drink were a reasonable price.
