606 Club

Jazz loves go there, situated in quiet area, it feels like a hidden jazz club (can be tricky to find).
Wasn't a fan of the idea that you need to eat to drink and I think they should sort that out. Saying that, I will ignore this and give it 4 stars
Yet another fantastic night at the 606 club but it's a shame the food menu rarely changes and the management remain obstinate in the face of criticism so far as that goes. It's very clear that whilst some people enjoy the food - many don't. I'd suggest that those of us who go to the club regularly are more likely to feel unhappy. Don't get me wrong, the cooking itself is fab, it's just that the choices rarely change. We've been 5 times in the last year and I think there's only been one or two tweaks to the main menu in the full year. 5 out of 5 for the club itself but only 2 out 5 for the food I'm afraid.
Split feelings about this club. Whilst the music is fantastic and the overall look of the place creates an authentic feel...it is extremely too cramped for so many dinners. Which leads me smartly on to their policy of eating.
You can't guarantee entry unless you book a table, you can't book a table unless you order their insipid, bland, and over priced food.
Unlike most 'bars' you can't visit 606 club unless you dine which is outrageous bearing in mind that you already pay for entry into the club to listen to the music.
So all in all what should be a reasonably priced night out can become very expensive!
After someone recommended the place to me, I kept it in the back of my mind as a place I wanted to check out. Then last night, looking for a last-minute date with the girlfriend, it sprung back to mind.
I called up and the guy who answered the phone was quick and efficient and didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing how it worked. I had a general idea, but he explained it to me quickly and easily. I was happy to have a table booked only a few hours before.
When we arrived, the closed gate at the top offered only a few seconds of confusion, before we were welcomed in a very friendly manner and buzzed in. There is an air of exclusivity with the location and the subtle entrance, so it is nice to see everyone welcomed so openly. The club, I should mention is a member's club, but they simply charge extra for non-members.
We booked for 8:30 with an hour before the music began. This was nice as it gave us time to have a chat and talk about the wine-list/menu. Both of which are diverse and exciting. There is no unifying theme for the cuisine, but that eclectic nature is reflected everywhere in the club: the artists, the staff, the decor, the clientele!
We ordered starters and my girlfriend fell in love with the goat's cheese. I had some nicely prepared nachos, because I'm always a sucker for nachos. For the mains we ordered lamb and haddock respectively. They were elegantly presented and cooked perfectly. The lamb was so full of flavour and every bite was a pleasure (I know because I happily finished hers when she couldn't manage it!).
The music was superb! All the musicians played to a very high standard. It was a lovely accompaniment to a date. Not being a jazz aficionado, I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were dancing in our seats during the up-tempo numbers and we sat hugging in the corner during the moodier pieces.
It's less than a mile from our front-door, so I can't believe it took us so long to get down there! Will definitely visit again so
I love the 606! It's really retro, kind of shabby but i think that adds to the atmosphere... it feels like you're going back in time to an old underground speakeasy. I have been quite a few times now and the music has been absolutely brilliant every single time. Love it!
Ive been going to the 606 Club for many years. Perhaps the best jazz club in the country to see our fantastic array of predominantly home grown talent, young and old, and many internationally renowned musicians too. There is a review which compares unfavourably the food there to that in a Michelin starred restaurant. Well, remember folks that this is a jazz club and not a Michelin starred restaurant. The prices are not cheap, but they are not dear either. And comparing them to a promo lunch in a michelin restaurant is unfair. People who complain that they are asked not to speak during the performances are clearly in the wrong place. People go to Jazz clubs to listen to the music. They can speak in restaurants, pubs, clubs. Next they will be complaining that the music interfered with their conversation. Please. When it goes pear shaped,i always find that talking to the staff there and then often achieves better results than posting anonymous messages on the internet slagging the place off. All in all, it is one of the best nights out in London. Been going for over 30 years. There must be a good reason for that.!
The 606 is a complete gem!
Although it's predominantly a jazz club (and in my opinion, London's finest) they have a wide range of different music played there.
The atmosphere is great and the food and drink is always good.
I'd highly recommend to anyone who wants a great night out with fantastic music in relaxed company.
I've been to 606 a few times and broadly speaking have had a fantastic night.
However, the food concerns me. Whilst tasty and well cooked, the menu hasn't really changed since I first went about 4-45 months ago. There a few little tweaks every now and then but it's mainly unchanged. And the more I come the more I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a complete menu revamp, but it never seems to happen. It's a shame because I'd hate to have to stop going just because the menu doesn't change but there's only a certain number of times you can eat the same dishes. And the food is very expensive. Just as an example I go to Gordon Ramsey and Claidges and they do a fantastic 4 course meal for £30 a head at lunchtime with first class service and some of the best chef's in London (it was Mitchegen starred). I paid nearly £30 for my three courses at 606 and it's just no where near a match. So, that's my only gripe and I do hope we get some menu changes soon. There's no reason at all why a top chef can't come up with 4 or 5 menus and rotate ever few weeks to keep regulars food interesting. I'm coming again next week and I know exactly what it's going to be though.
Love the music. Love the way they tell people not to chatter (even though some ignorant people do) during band sets. Love the friendliness. Love the fact the new overground station is a 5min walk. Love everything, but sorry not the food.
