Jazz Cafe Concerts 2024-2025

Booked table 4 on the upstairs balcony which provided a great view of the stage. I had low expectation for the food from a music venue but was pleasantly surprised as all the food was amazing. While sitting on the balcony doesn't give you the same vibes as being in the crowd, the comfort of not needing to go early to get a good place and having seperate toilet upstairs is definitely a good alternative.

What a fantastic venue, seeing Eek a Mouse was amazing and great entertainment. We ate in the restaurant the food was excellent and the staff were wonderful, incredibly friendly and helped make an awesome night even better. Will make sure we go again in the future.

Booked the table upstairs for the 2024 NYE (£100 incl. food deposit) but actually, we had zero live jazz. Zero 👍 The first act was a young brazilian-themed group of singers that were okay, and the second act was an up and coming alternative r&b singer who nearly missed the countdown because he was so absorbed into his songs. The choice of songs were also quite moody. Don't get me wrong; the music would make me feel real hipster in my headphones but it was not at all fitting for a public NYE event, especially at a venue supposedly renowned for jazz. Maybe they had better artists that cancelled last minute and needed a replacement but damn I really expected better. What is the purpose of the performance if you don't know your crowd and the purpose of the gathering? We got champagne flutes to cheers but didn't even finish and left quarter past midnight (I usually overindulge in drinking and partying in any setting so this is rare). The other groups sitting near us actually left immediately after the countdown. They all looked hilariously bored—the only entertainment of the night. Not surprisingly, the crowd downstairs was also pretty dead. Safe to say that it was the most underwhelming new years experience I've ever had in London, and I highly recommend anyone coming to celebrate their big day to look elsewhere. Would have given one star but the staffs serving the food/drinks were kind and attentive including those behind the bar.

An absolutely brilliant night out on Saturday! I will go again...Jazz Jamaica were fab! And the support group (I can't remember their name!?) Incredible all female Jazz band...

I love the Jazz Cafe, been here countless times and they always book hip hop acts that I want to see. Great intimate venue. Sound was not great for four owls though, mic levels were off and took a while to sort and generally the tracks didn't come through the system that well. Still a great gig and good to see the best of UK hip hop.
