  • 1/5 SONE豚 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went to a live concert at night, but if the amount of alcohol and food I ordered was too low, the waiter would be persistent and uncomfortable with the order, if it runs out, I'm disappointed with my pace. Well, I understand that cooking makes money, but I lose customers. Why don't you use the set price? (Original) 夜のライブに行ったんですが、注文したお酒と料理の量が少ないのか、それが切れたら接客係が注文せいとしつこい、感じが悪い悪い、自分のペースがあるのに失礼極まりない。まあ、料理で利益出してるのは良く分かりますがお客さん失いますよ。もう、セット料金にしたらどうですか。

    Sone is the oldest jazz bar in Kobe I was told. Our group stopped by for a drink and live jazz. I beleive there was a cover charge to enter per person. The cocktail was nice as well as the music. The only downside is they close at 11pm.

    (Translated by Google) I've only been to Sone for lunch on Sunday, but 1000 yen including one drink is wonderful! Seats are on a first-come, first-served basis, so those who want to sit in front will be lined up for about 30 minutes to an hour before the opening. The store is large, so even if you can line up, I think everyone can enter. When it opens, I will pay 1000 yen first. At that time, you will get a one-drink voucher. I will reserve a seat first and then go to redeem the drink. After that, please enjoy a wonderful time ✨ (Original) まだ日曜の昼ソネしか行ったことありませんが、ワンドリンク込みで1000円は素晴らしいです!席は先着順なので、前に座りたい方はオープンの30分〜1時間くらい前から並んでおられると思います。店は広いので行列出来てても全員入れるとは思います。オープンしたら先に1000円支払います。その時にワンドリンク引換券をもらいます。先に席を確保してから、ドリンクを引き換えに行きます。あとは素敵な時間を楽しんで下さい✨

    Long-established jazz live music & restaurant in Kobe. How can you not swing when you encounter jazz? Come and enjoy!

    (Translated by Google) You can enjoy jazz, even if you don't know much about it! I've been going to it since I was a teenager and it's been 40 years since I started, and I like the location and atmosphere of the shop. (Original) jazz、あまり知らなくても充分楽しめます!10代の頃から通いはじめて早40数年、お店の場所や雰囲気が好きです。

    (Translated by Google) A live house that represents the jazz city of Kobe. It's also a restaurant, so the food comes with origami. There is no additional charge for the four stages a night, no matter how many times you watch it. (There are times 3 times a night) Eat and drink deliciously and listen to the performances of top musicians ... Sone will promise you the best moments. But lately, the chances of talking to musicians have diminished. Before, there was more human warmth. (Original) ジャズの街神戸を代表するライヴハウス。レストランでもあるので料理は折り紙つき。ひと晩4回のステージは、何度観ても追加チャージなし。(ひと晩3回の時があります) 美味しく飲み食いして、一流ミュージシャンの演奏を聞く……最高のひとときをソネは約束してくれることでしょう。ただ最近はミュージシャンと会話できる機会がめっきり減った。前はもっと人間的なあたたかさがあった。

    I booked a reservation at Sone based on a recommendation in a Japan travel (Lonely Planet) guide. We enjoyed the jazz club atmosphere, friendliness of the staff, and professionalism and skill of the musicians. Atmosphere is top notch. Service was great. Food was tasty, but somewhat expensive for getting so little. My recommendation would be eat some appetizers, order some drinks, and enjoy the music. Then, eat dinner elsewhere. Highly recommend.

    Went here after reading all the reviews. Good Saturday night out if you’re into jazz. Low key place, mostly older folk.

    I was visiting Kobe and on a whim, walked into Sone. I was so glad I did, because my whole experience there was wonderful, delightful, and complete magic! The staff was so welcoming and nice. The food was absolutely incredible (Get the "Sone Set" with Japanese beef Sirloin and you will be in heaven, your tastebuds with thank you) and the live band and singer were so lovely! I am American, and a huge fan of jazz standards, and the atmosphere this place created was on a superior level. Such artistry on display! One of the oldest jazz bars/restaurants in Kobe and a must visit for any lover of good times, music, and food. I will most definitely be visiting again in the future.

    #Must Come back# #Jazz live# If you wanna enjoy a live Jazz show, this is right place! The show charges you 1500 or 1800 depending on performers, check the performance list in their website! The food is kinda ok, the fish and chips too oily.... Drink here is kinda of overpriced and you had to order at least a drink on top of the entrance fee. Come for music, but not expect too much for food. Overall interior is great with western vintage style. I will definitely come back!

    (Translated by Google) If you want to listen to jazz, ask Sone. As expected, since it is a long-established shop, it seems that good performers are gathering, so there is no losing whenever you go to the shop (^ ^) (Original) ジャズを聴きたいときは、ソネさんにお伺いします。さすが、老舗のお店なので上手な演奏者が集まって来る様で、いつお店に行ってもハズレは無いですネ(^ ^)

    Drinks good, not overpriced. Loads of atmosphere. Good performers when we visited, good mix of covers and original jamming. They did make a real mess of a martini order, but it was my third drink and the first two were perfect.

    Really nice place. Check the website for performance times; I think there are four performances per night. My group & I arrived right before the final performance on a Saturday, and we still had to pay full price cover, about 1200 something yen. Enjoyed the jazz, would def recommend ! Also, Men, if you go in with sandals, they will give you a pair of shoes and socks to change into. But, Ladies, ur fine.

  • 4/5 Lee D. 1 year ago on Google • 40 reviews
    Haven't been to a jazz club on years, found myself at one in Kobe of all places. Great atmosphere, music was awesome. Must go if you in Kobe in the evening.

  • 5/5 Kari W. 9 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    What a gem! We loved listening to American Jazz sung by a lovely Japanese woman and a three-piece band. They were fantastic. A must do if in Kobe as its the home of Jazz in Japan. It was also a great place to get Kobe Beef to share without commiting to an expensive meal for all four of our party.

  • 5/5 Winnie C. 1 year ago on Google • 38 reviews
    I enjoyed the jazz music with my friend (the live performance time is different during COVID) and the drink "summer time" is great, a nice place to stay and enjoy without chit chatting. (though the grapefruit is a bit sour) btw booking through IG is faster than through email

  • 5/5 Shani P. 6 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    We had such a great time at Sone! It was our last night in Kobe and we didn’t want to miss out on jazz so we went to Sone, and we’re so glad we did! Even on a Monday the musicians were top class. The service was also excellent. Highly recommend!

    Nice live jazz bar. Very good and talented performers. Cover charge is quite affordable for 3 sets!

  • 4/5 Kanako T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cozy atmosphere. Live music every night! I enjoy the music every time I go there. Very good service as well. The drink prices are bit high in my opinion since I have to pay ¥1,320 cover charge. Depending on where you sit, you cannot see the whole stage because of the posts.

  • 5/5 Stephan Lendi (Sprecher & M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great jazz club in Kobe’s Sannomiya district. Reservations are recommended for busy nights. Their food is quite ok. With the cover charge you get to listen to all three sets of the evening. While the musicians are outstanding the singers on all three nights we were here were a little shaky, quite tense and singing with quite an accent. Good entertainment, though, and a good night out.

  • 3/5 Jimmy G. 4 years ago on Google
    A bit of the classic jazz cliche,drunken sleepy locals with whisky bottles as coasters and tourists, Monday night aside it doesn’t seem very forward and jumping

    Great restaurant and live music. They have a well spoken English Waiter. We tried the chefs choice fish and meat order which were both fantastic. They were cooked perfectly with a good variety of vegetables. Music was a good mix of jazz with English singing.

  • 5/5 Harry N. F. 3 years ago on Google
    映画の舞台にもなった神戸のランドマークとも言えるジャズスポット。連日のライブはSONEならではのハイレベルなラインナップが魅力です。 三宮方面からは北野坂を登って、山手幹線を越えてすぐの場所にあります。 付近には神戸らしいレストランが多く有りますので、そこでの食事あとの時間をゆっくりと過ごす場所としても適しています。 カップルでもグループでも、それに適したテーブルがあります。 ジャズに馴染みのない人でも、敬遠することなく、一度訪れてみる価値のある場所だと思います。

    昔12月ルミナリエの頃の夕方に訪れました。夕食を頂きながらの一杯でした。目の前に生の演奏はいい雰囲気でした。店が明るく上品です。東京でジャズライブは、ピットインなどを除くと、どうしてもアンダーグラウンドでマニアックな経験しかなかったのですが、さすが神戸です。 となりの席の芦屋の奥様に話しかけられ、神戸の温泉などの情報を頂きました。 宿泊したホテルから近く、歩いて往復できたのも良かったです。
