    Great underground jazz club. Awesome music. Good selection of reasonably priced drinks. Friendly staff. We caught Wednesday night jam session. Unclear pricing online, it stated free and 2euros. Ended up paying, but worth it. Get there early to guarantee a seat. Plenty of room at the bar.

    The staff are friendly and do a very good job. Whether you'll like the performance depends on your taste and ear experience and obviously who performs that night. If you prefer sitting at the front rows, I recommend going as early as possible. Ofc you can also stand by the wall at the back or up the stairs. I had a Moskito (non-alcoholic) which was mediocre I'd say.

    Good live jazz shows almost every night during the week! I recommend you to make a reservation, via phone, so you have a little table on the front and can enjoy it better! A place I will return to everytime I'm in Berlin.

    Every brick vibrates with the great Jazz that has already been heard in this place. We saw the B flat All Stars featuring Julie Silvera - what a great show! Reservation by email recommended so that you get a good place near the stage

    Absolutely amazing night. Wow, I’m so glad I found this little gem 💎. The receptionist was lovely, really helpful at guiding us to get cash as it’s cash only in here for everything. She then offered us some amazing seats, front row in my opinion. We had a few cocktails and watched the B Flat All Stars. I’ll say it again, WOW, they were absolutely superb, fantastic talent that had me tapping my fingers and toes all night. If I lived in Berlin, this would definitely be a regular visit for me when for when I wanted to get my Jazz On.. 🎶

    You can enjoy the vibe of German jazz here. Energetic and postive staffs are greeting you. It is a pity they only accepted cash. On Wednesday, there was a jam session, and it costed only 3 euros for entrance. So huge amount people visited there.

    Spoilt the minute I entered. Front desk, friendly and accommodating. Waitress was very efficient and friendly. The venue was compact but comforting, and the live music (all stars) went above and beyond, flirting with every instrument with their audience.

    This place is just fabulous! It's the second time I've been here and the second time I'm under a strong impression! Cool music, cool atmosphere! Two hours flew by like two minutes! Thanks for the mood. I recommend this club to everyone!

    Amazing place, I regularly go to Robin's Nest events and it's always a blast. For 3 euro entry fee you get hours of high-quality live jazz. Make sure to arrive around 1 hour before the gig starts because otherwise you won't find a seat.

    Dear ladies and gentlemen of the b-flat Jazz Club, I am writing to express my deep disappointment and dissatisfaction regarding our recent visit to your club. We, three musicians from different countries, had pre-booked three seats and received confirmation. Unfortunately, our visit was far from pleasant and did not meet the expectations one would have for a renowned jazz club like b-flat. Upon our arrival, we discovered that no seats had been assigned to us, and we were instead directed to a side room near the bar. The noise level from the bar was unbearably loud, making it practically impossible to enjoy the music. Our request to lower the volume in the adjacent room was unfortunately ignored, resulting in a frustrating and disappointing experience for us. It is disheartening to witness how the reputation of the b-flat Jazz Club has changed over time. It used to be a significant hub for the jazz scene in Europe, but now it appears to be more geared towards tourists. As musicians who appreciate the authenticity and quality of jazz music, we left with a sense of deception and frustration. While we understand that events and circumstances can evolve, we had expected a club with the reputation of b-flat to continue focusing on preserving the tradition of jazz. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. We hope that you consider our feedback constructive and take measures to improve the quality of the musical experience at the b-flat Jazz Club. We are confident that a return to its roots and increased attention to the needs of jazz enthusiasts can restore the club to a place appreciated by musicians and music lovers alike.

    The best jazz club in the town. Sound system, band, stuff, drink all just perfect. Very reasonable prices for the drinks and entrance fee is really nothing for the quality of the band. Thank you for an amazing unique night. We will come back

    The best Jazz club in Berlin. Prices are very modest, and the music is for free. Make sure you get there early if you want to get a nice spot. The staff is lovely. You can reserve before going

    This is an interesting place. Entry for the gig nights seems a bit steep (£15) given the band/acoustic quality of the venue. Also they seem to only have one person working tables which is a bit odd! Very nice, but ends up feeling like it's all a bit sub-par given the prices and quality of cocktails, but I can imagine that on most nights this place is very good!

    Great little bar with a live jazz jam session on a Wednesday. You can't book a table and by the time it starts at 21:00 there's barely even standing room left, so get there early. It's €2 and the cocktails are all €6 until 21:30. A great mid week spot

    We had a table on the third row, very close to the band. We were very excited. But the music was way to loud. Asked for earplugs but no earplugs available. Left the place after 30 minutes with headache.

    ** it’s a cash only club! make sure to bring enough cash! ** Great vibe & nice music, will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Stuti S. 4 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Great night in Berlin with some vocal jazz at this vibey club. The crowd was great, large selection of spirits and cocktails and music that gave you chills. Highly recommend! Note that they only accept cash, no cards.

  • 5/5 Katrin W. 1 year ago on Google
    Live acoustic Jazz jam session every Wednesday - authentic, good drinks, low admission fee, only cash - enjoy the atmosphere and music 💃🏻 We even had a step dancer do a set!!

  • 5/5 Srinivasan B. 10 months ago on Google
    Second visit to B flat. First was with a blogger friend. Went a bit ahead and called to book my seats. Thankfully they accommodated. Euro 18 per head for the band was well worth it. Drinks and snacks were reasonably priced and good. Tiny packed basement but that's how live jazz clubs ought to be, right?

  • 1/5 LC A. 8 months ago on Google
    Not jazz, and not worth the cover charge. Maybe we were unlucky on Thu Aug 31st. It was a duo with programmed background music to enhance their live performance. Was more "new age" than jazz. To each their own. I am very open-minded when it comes to music, but my friends were NOT impressed, so we left after 5 songs.

    One night it was €3 entry free which was well worth. It was a jam night so musicians came up and played and then eventually came together to make a song it was great and the atmosphere was nice. Other night it was €20 entry fee and quite quiet. Not worth the price in my opinion and don’t like how it didn’t mention on their website.

    Had the best night here seeing the Night Train! Really made our time in Berlin one to remember. Amazing music and atmosphere and the gin sours were lovely. Thank you !!!

  • 5/5 Julian C. 6 months ago on Google
    Great jazz club with a friendly vibe in such a central location in Berlin!

  • 4/5 Yuan J. 1 year ago on Google
    Wednesday night 9pm entrance fee is 2Euro per person. Usually pack before 830 so do arrive early to get seats. After 10pm have audience usual jam session

  • 4/5 Minus 2. 8 months ago on Google
    If you had to dream up what a jazz cellar should be like, then you’d most probably come up with this place; cozy, dark, intimate and with a proximity to the music that you wouldn’t miss a note or beat.

  • 4/5 Ingrid A. 2 years ago on Google
    For sure much better than the old place. Congrats! Sound did get better after a few songs. Vocals started out low. Eventually there was a balance! Great waitress...she catered to every table!

  • 4/5 Mircea S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for a jazz night, good cocktails, value for money and nice staff. Recommend to book in advance if you want a seat in front of the stage.

  • 4/5 Siwon K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a great place for those who love jazz. It's not like many jazz bars where jazz is the background music and you're free to have conversation with others. It's more of a small recital area that serves drinks. So not the place to go if you want to listen to some jazz while socialising with friends through conversation. It's cash only, and the drinks aren't so good - so I'd recommend sticking with beer or wine.

  • 3/5 רחל שירה �. 1 year ago on Google
    It's not the best ( for me atlas) I didn't like the location so very much , and if you not come early to pick a place your won't enjoy the music... ther is better places for my opinion

  • 4/5 Kevin Ali Beltran R. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is ok. The only issue is that the definition of personal space is almost lost in there, you need to share tables if your group is not big enough, and all tables are really close. Cocktails are also decent. Highlight: Music/Bands are really good, it is a pretty good place for jazz.

  • 5/5 Elaine 2 years ago on Google
    drinks expensive but entry charge was small so balances out. staff was always present and attentive. music was fun and engaging. plan to spend a whole evening here, a really good time and opportunity to meet people from everywhere

  • 5/5 Alice H. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place with nice people working, cool music and a place to sit for everyone. At the moment, because of Corona, it is smartest to book a table online beforehand, but when you get there, you'll be pleasently surprised by their happy hour offer and tasty cocktails. For me, it is a place to go back to often.

  • 5/5 Jackie H. 2 years ago on Google
    First night in Berlin, booked ahead for this fab jazz club. Seated up front listening to Afro Cuban music. Great cocktails and a smooth vibe. Highly recommend🙂

  • 5/5 Alison A. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic jazz. Cornelia Nilsson opened the second set with the most impressive Jazz drum solo that I have seen heard. The Landaes Trio were individually and together a very impressive group who were encouraged to play another piece for a very attentive audience.

  • 5/5 Iliyana T. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, but a bit expensive 😬 Go there early, because at 9 they already close the doors and don't let more people in :( We were the last ones to enter and didn't find a table to sit, so we had to stay standing for about an hour until some people decided to leave and we got their table

  • 5/5 Yoram P. 3 years ago on Google
    Yes. Live Jazz during a worldwide pandemic is not that obvious. Great location , good choice of performances

  • 5/5 Federico A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and music! The girl who served the guests and the bar did a great job!

  • 5/5 Amr H. 2 years ago on Google
    Crowded, cash only. But nice acoustic and jazz music.

  • 2/5 Imran K. 2 years ago on Google
    The sounds were really low. It was pretty difficult to hear when sitting in the back even the music was inaudible sometimes. The staff was really friendly and sitting arrangement was good. But really disappointed with the sound quality.

  • 5/5 Martin W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great night at the Wednesday jam session. Lots of really talented people contributing. It's popular, so get there early. If the weather is nice, have something at the Tapas bar next door and watch for the first few of the crowd arriving, to make sure you get a decent table/seat.
