I went to Jazz After Dark with some friends recently on a Saturday night - the place is small and has a great atmosphere. The Big Girls Blues Band were playing - we had never heard of them before and took a chance - they were fantastic - sang a mixture of soul, and funky songs - as the evening went on people pushed the tables back and got up and danced. The band were friendly - they even bought me a glass of wine! I took their details I will definitely be going back to see them next time they play.

I would avoid this Jazz After Dark at all costs! The food really was appalling. The barbequed mixed grill was over £10.00, came on a plate the size of a side plate, half of which was covered with salad. The chicken was raw in the middle, there was a processed chip shop style sausage and burger and about five soggy chips under the chicken!

The music was okay, but not of a Saturday night out standard. I don't know how Jazz After Dark keeps going as no one could possibly go back a second time!

We ate at Jazz After Dark with 15 of friends from Paris who were visiting London . Food,Service, Entertainment were excellent, thanks to the beautifull french waitress who looked after us.£10 Addmision for the entertainment were very good value for money, in the past most of our musicians guests paid much more money in much bigger jazz clubs in london for much less standard jazz band.The Big Girls Blues Band were the so good, We will come back to London specially to visit Jazz After Dark We are going to make this club our meeting place. - Report

I visited Jazz After Dark for New Years Eve at a cost of £45.00 including a three course meal. As soon as I stepped in the door I was disappointed as the decor and atmosphere was very basic and dated.

It was too crowded at the tables and the food was well below average. The Jazz After Dark staff were friendly but this did not make up for the atmosphere and the food.

I found the service to be excellent ,the waitress went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that we have every thing,lively jazz restaurant & club with lots of great bands,superb food & drinks averagly priced,great for parties, it is the best sangria & and mojito we had in london,but if you are going to eat & be entertained at the same time , make sure you book 2 or 3 days in advance so you can sit in the room where the band are playing, £10 ticket sale goes to the band ,great valu for money for great jazz club in soho it is a fun and lively place to eat ,drink and to listen to good jazz. - Report

I went to the jazz after dark for new years eve....it was the worst one of my life, £15 to get in then £35 for a meal which was the worst I've ever tasted and talk about small amounts, I was starving when i left there and the drinks were well priced over the top. The service was good and the band full marks, the band made my night but jazz after dark never again. 0 out of 10. And on top of that the decor was rubbish and the place was as small as a hutch. - Report

I went to Jazz After Dark with the view that it would be a great evening for a meal and live music. Unfortunately when I went, the meal was not particularly nice and music was being delivered through a regular Hi Fi. I'm sure they have good nights at Jazz After Dark, but this wasn't one of them.

To all,

I would not go back to Jazz After Dark. We booked for a night out for someone who really likes jazz. There were 8 of us and I booked plenty of time in advance. When we arrived they had put us in the little side bit.

We were so squashed we couldn't fit the plates properly on the table. We left Jazz After Dark early as we could not enjoy the jazz. Food is okay but nothing spectacular.

I highly recommend jazz after dark ,when the entertainment starts ,the atmosphere startes,this place is a gem,where can you find good jazz club in the west end with very good different bandes every night ,and you pay just £5 in the week and £10 weekends , when some of my friends wants relaxed atmosphere I take them to jazz after dark early in the evening before the band starts , but when I have lively frinds who want to have crazy wild party then jazz after dark is the place to be, - Report

I went to Jazz After Dark last night (Thursday) and loved the place. The music was fantastic. They had a blues band called BluesMix playing who were really great, which created a really nice atmosphere.

As for the Jazz After Dark bar itself... I really liked the relaxed vibe. In the window they had an advert for Pete Doherty and Babyshambles!

And guess what? Early on in the night he was sat at a corner table quiety eating dinner. Great for celeb spotting!

Nothing but good things to say about this place. Sure its a little funky and different, but the fact that it's not yet another boring All Bar One or something similar is part of its appeal to me. I would highly recommend Jazz After Dark on a Thursday, when the band I mentioned plays every week.

Jazz After Dark is a complete let down on expectations, and I would recommend anybody looking for a fun night out to avoid it as this venue is a complete rip-off. Nobody who works there seems to know what they are doing (we made a reservation which only one person knew about) and the service is possibly the worst in town.

Although I didn't get a chance to hear the music at Jazz After Dark the aggravating service is surely not worth it. Even after complaining nobody offered an apology, so we ended up leaving as it would have been better to sit at home and listen to the radio. It is definitely not worth £10.00 a head - regrettably this did not happen just to us, three other uknown couples that went out all had the same poor experience.
Good luck if you do decide to go!

I hadn't been to Jazz After Dark for a while until last Thursday. I've always liked the place, it has a quirky charm! But in the past I found the food to be a little hit and miss, the same with the bands.

This time though, Jazz After Dark was excellent!
I noticed the food was much better than before and the music was truly superb. It featured a blues band called BluesMix who created a wonderful,friendly atmosphere and played some lovely blues music. This place has to be one of the best kept secrets in Soho.
