I went a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend and it was the first jazz club I've been to in London. I've been to jazz clubs in New York and Toronto so I was surprised when I walked in. Decent cover charge of 5 pounds, but the place is REALLY, REALLY small. The drinks list isn't very good nor is their wine list, it's not somewhere you go to enjoy a really good glass of wine, but I really enjoyed the act they had on that night. Unfortunately I can't remember their name, but it was a female lead singer with a 5 piece band.

Our waiter was lovely; we walked in and had to be seated in the front of the club (it's sectioned off into 2 rooms, the entrance and the back where the mini stage is) where we couldn't see anything, but our lovely waiter took us to the back and made a little space for us in an alcove to the right of the stage where the bands normally store spare equipment. It was cozy and we had a really good view of the band. The venue itself is a bit strange: the front room reminds me a bit of an American-style bar what with the neon beer signs, and the back room where the bands perform reminds me of an old-school Italian-American restaurant.

It's an extremely small venue but well worth it; check your pretensions at the door, this is not a fancy, "swish" hot spot, but I quite liked it and would definitely go there again. Word to the wise from our waiter - under no circumstances order something from the kitchen as apparently the food is terrible. But if you're looking for a drink after having dinner in the area, it's definitely worth it - and make reservations if you plan on going with more than 1 other person, or else you won't find anywhere to sit!]]> Tue, 08 May 2007 18:56:41 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p5166h/jazz-after-dark/1g72m81905081478 Sami 51.514444 -0.131165
