We had a good night at The Brisbane Jazz Club at a Music for Tango night. My last visit was 16 months ago, before covid-19 restrictions and it was summer then and we nearly froze with the air conditioning! Last night it was more pleasant, although I was well rugged up. The staff were very welcoming and it's a comfortable enough venue with some glass windows looking over the river. The viewing to the main 'stage' area, although it's not a stage, can be a little restricted but there's a TV screen to help out. With covid regulations the tables are well-spaced and cleaned between guests. The staff are constantly topping up water glasses and do a great job of the service. I found them all very polite and prompt without any arrogance - which was very refreshing ! We ordered entrees and main courses from the menu and the meals were lovely fresh and well presented. Entrees for $15 to $16 and main courses $25 to $28. See photos. There are good bathroom and toilet facilities that are very clean. There's a small car park that belongs to the Club for visitors, otherwise it's street parking a short distance away around the area. A unique night out with a friendly vibe.

Sehr schöner Ort direkt am Wasser mit Blick auf die Skyline von Brisbane. Die Musik die wir hörten war auch toll.

If a night at the club was a meal it would rate three Michelin stars. The appetiser is the journey there, ferry from Howard Street wharves , under the iconic Story Bridge, the lights and atmosphere. The main is the club and venue- great vibe and ambience and welcoming friendly staff, the location breathe taking. Unique. The artists and music are the icing on the cake. Withs few drinks and nibbles…an unforgettable night out.

This American who digs jazz approves of Brisbane Jazz Club. This quaint, intimate riverfront institution in Kangaroo Point has friendly volunteers/members & staff. Good food is provided by Story Bridge Hotel Catering. BJC offers a broad wine, beer & liquor selection. Combine that with great jazz, big band, crooners, & Broadway standards and you have a fun night out when in Brisbane! Can't beat the views either!

I attended one of the two nights James Morrison was performing at the Brisbane Jazz Club. James and his band were great. Sadly the performance of the staff at the club was much less stellar. I attended on my own and knew that I was on a table with four others. I selected the table on the basis of its view of the stage (albeit from the side). When I arrive there was some confusion in the volunteer staff but it appeared I had been moved to another table with five other people leaving my original table with four. I pointed out that my ticket was for the original table and I sat down there and waited for the show to start. When the four other guests arrived it was clear they were regulars and I could only infer that I had been moved to keep them happy. I was approached two times by a senior volunteer requesting I move now to an even less desirable seat at the back of the venue. On the second occasion I was approached I was told that the guests on my original table were very good to have me at “their” table completely ignoring the fact I was simply sitting at the table seat I had purchased. The price of my ticket ($180) was presumably the same as the others on my table and yet I was treated as a second class citizen. I doubt I will attend the club again. I suggest the management of the club consider this complaint seriously and reflect on their customer service.

Hubby and I went to the Brisbane Jazz Club at Kangaroo Point, Brisbane recently. It was a wonderful and intimate experience. The premises is quaint in nature. Unfortunately, they had some catering issues being let down by the usual caterers being away, hence loss of a star, but otherwise the atmosphere was fantastic. I'm a Coeliac and managed to get a gluten free option from the 2 available so that was a relief. The view of the City and the Storybridge is spectacular as it's right on the water, and the weather was tremendous. The band, the Caxton Street Jazz Band, played great Jazz music all night and have been going for 44 years. Love the nostalgia! 😍 Once they go back to a regular menu it will be a must do for the Jazz enthusiast in Brisbane. Great night.

Lovely evening out. Unfortunately that not the caterer cancelled on them... To their credit they had 1 hour to get a good option and managed to pull together someone to do pizzas. Staff are nice. Did not realise it was a "Listening Club" which means no talking during the music. If you want to do that you need to go outside... However, the vibe doesn't really lend itself to you walking out during a performance.

A lovely place with a very nice vibe. Staff are all very friendly and do that little bit extra to make sure you have a great evening. The outside area next to the river has wonderful views of the city and is the perfect place to have a drink before the show. The food (outside catering) was nice albeit not outstanding - steak wasn't particularly well seasoned and the potato gratin was a bit plain. Nice duck spring rolls. Mel and Funky Miracle were a great show. Altogether a fantastic Friday night.

Some of the staff members need an attitude check. Absolutely no tact or courtesy. If you are going to employee these older people to run the venue, train them in some basic customer service. The way they speak to people is disgusting. Also charging punters over $20 to shove them outside in the heat to "watch" the performers on an unfocused tiny TV with terrible sound quality is pure greed. Update the outside of the venue with some proper shade, sound and visuals if you are going to charge and provide the performers with an actual green room instead of yelling at them if they dare make any noise outside. Performers should boycott this establishment until better standards are met.

Great place run by volunteers all money for tickets goes to the band which I love. They only serve 3 things on a Sunday cheese plate, wedges and cake of the day. I put in the note when purchasing the tickets my client is gluten intolerant. So this takes out wedges, mind you this is 30min before show starts and place wasn't even half full yet but already ran out of cheese plates. Other than this a awesome time out great music. Great raffle prizes and great bar service.

A great venue located on the Brisbane River. The Trombone Kelly Gang were very entertaining and skilled. We will be back.

Amazing place and ambience. It’s a not for profit with a lot of volunteers which is impressive, all in the name of keeping live jazz music alive. We saw a big band tonight with Peter Vance. Impressive all round.

Funky club run by amazing volunteers. Bands /groups rotate throughout the year with tickets at affordable prices. Various caterers come and go too, with varying prices (bit pricey the night we went). Drinks prices are pretty good, on the cheaper side! Music has to shut down around 10pm due to heighbourhood noise restrictions but the club kicks on. Great location on the river. Limited on site parking but street parking nearby.

The club put on another damn good night of entertainment. Their featured band was Galapagos Duck who entertained brilliantly.

You're so close to the performers you feel like part of the band - it's great experience!

Amazing atmosphere and all volunteer run. Unique venue, top notch staff :)

Fantastic location, great atmosphere and wonderful people. And the music is good too.

Excellent night

Nice venue and awesome performances

A sensational night

A great location for excellent Jazz music in a non profit organization! Great music to enjoy an atmospheric experience of dancing & enjoying a drink or 2! Wheelchair access to the club is available as well for the disabled customers!

Best kept secret in Brisbane. Especially when you win the raffle😁😁👍👍🍷🍷

Awesome night watching the Army Band Brisbane supporting Rural Aid's Gift of Music program

Beautiful jazzclub! Love it!

good location, always worth a visit

It is such a great venue, unpretentious and full of wonderful people who volunteer. They are always accommodating and the service is excellent. I enjoy the diversity of the different acts and feel that the venue is so special as it is situated on the Brisbane River.

booked a table outside for two at 6:10 when doors opened at 6:30pm. Student tickets were cheap, although my partner forgot her ID but the lady at the front was understanding and we paid the difference up to the next ticket price. Upon arrival everyone was extremely wonderful and hospitable. We had the whole outside marqee area to ourselves which was impressive for a Saturday night. Blankets were offered to us as it was a bit chilly, they were much needed and appreciated. Service is great, they didn't forget about us even though we were the only ones outside. A table up the back inside freed up and the Manager asked if we wanted to move inside which ended up being a great move! Music was amazing and we loved the atmosphere. Food and drinks service was pleasant as well! We had a really fun night and highly recommend it for anyone looking for something relaxing and different to do on a date night. Similarly to another review, the TV broadcasting the jazz band did lag a bit. If you end up getting an outdoor be prepared to just enjoy the view, company, and listening to music rather than actually watching the band. I highly recommend checking it out it was an awesome experience!

Great night out.. awesome music and a stunning view 😊

Great location on the river front. The meals are amazing especially the Pork Belly. Loves the jam night and great atmosphere. It was our first visit and we will be back.

Awesome afternoon, great jazz musicians & vocalists. Friendly volunteers, staff & gig organisers know how to provide quality entertainment. 🎷🎸🎶

Friendly staff, good food, great vibe and such a good location. Great to have a place that still does a dinner and show.

Great night at the Brisbane Jazz club, music 🎶 was fantastic, Judith Nijiand was swinging, everyone was having a fun, relaxed time, will definitely be back 😀

Entering this venue was like stepping back in time. Exactly what we expected for a jazz bar. Fantastic performance by Miss Mandy Swings - thoroughly enjoyed it! Great prices at the bar and a few snack options. Lovely backdrop of the River & City. Great experience overall!

Fantastic music, great friendly staff and breathtaking views of Brisbane to match. Technically a non profit venue The Brisbane Jazz Club solely focuses on the music, artists and enjoying what they have to offer. Staff, for the most part are volunteers who do a great job. Be sure to consider booking first! - if not you may be risking your view (it's a popular venue). Take note- this is a sitting venue with restaurant style tables. You won't be sharing unless you want to (or you didn't book ahead). It also means dancing isn't really a thing because it's about the music first and foremost. One small thing- it's paid entry

Great place, staff and atmosphere. Cool

Look up their shows as this place show cases much local Jazz talent as regulars . We saw the Caxton Street Jazz Band, which are hard to beat . James Morrison is of course a regular touring act . The who s who of international Jazz also passes through as this is the premier Brisbane venue for Jazz . Prime location overlooking river through window behind the stage . Looks spectacular with all the city lights and the lit up paddle steamers passing by . Big deck over looking river . Good well stocked bar . Prime a la carte dinners were supplied promptly by The Story Bridge Hotel when we visited . Spectacular , exotic venue .

We saw Greg Lyons and the Hip Operation with Aaron West guest guitarist and they were exceptional, the venue itself is right on the water, so great views, and easy to get to. We also are there, beef Guinness pie, very good. It's a not for profit club so prices are reasonable.

Amazing venue and event. Please go and support this non-for-profit

Cozy atmosphere, fantastic performance. A night to remember.

Disappointing that this venue closes so early. Band finished at 10pm sharp and it was like: Bed time, lights out! I understand they have noise restrictions but maybe the venue could do more to soundproof. The upside was being made feel very welcome by fabulous staff & volunteers on arrival.

Excellent sound system and friendly service.

Great time

What an amazing place to share in Live Music ..Friendly staff and incredible music !!!

Great place to visit, excellent music, friendly people.

Great place great music and safe 😎

Had a great Sunday afternoon well Spent here. They were very covid compliant and great table service whilst enjoying the show. 👌🏾

Fabulous night,amazing concert.great food. Everyone so friendly.

Very friendly great atmosphere.

Awesome

I'm a whiskey nerd, so the chance to have the best buffet breakfast I've ever had bar none, good jazz, great service and a couple of hard-to-find drams... this is truly an enlightened establishment.

Love this place!

Shaw Ingrid James and loved her voice and singing. Her band was superb. JAZZ CLUB was nice and cozy.

Relaxed, hidden treasure in Brisbane

Brilliant, as always!!

Great vibe, great music, so close to town!

Still a great vibe

The volunteers were better than some of the paid waiters I've had. Great music. Great atmosphere. Great night out.

Right on the river in the city. A fantastic club with live bands and good food & bar

A great location and for the four of us, brilliant entertainment from Dezzie D and the Stingrayz. Drinks are very sharply priced and the staff are there for more than the pay - many of them can be spotted nodding along to the music.

Great location and atmosphere

A lovely venue to listen to live Jazz. Very accessible to the city & great views across the Brisbane river.

Over from Scotland we had a terrific afternoon here watching great musicians doing their stuff. Met some fabulous people, on both sides of the bar!

Go for the music not the food. Limited menu with only wedges and spring rolls available on the day we went. Tea and coffee ✅. There's a basic bar there, that is not bad. An older crowd with a few younger faces. The music was good though.

Best place in Brisbane, some says in the world! Romantic dinner with great jazz! Can't recommend a better place

"Big Kitty:, always so vibrant and exciting.

The Brisbane Jazz Club is a cool place. However, our experience was poor. The food was not good. There was a table of 17. The food came out fast but was not flavourful or fresh. It seemed like they already had the ingredients made and dished them up on the plate. The food is very overpriced. We sat outside, which was nice. Inside was really hot. People had hand-fans to cool them down. The volunteers and staff were super lovely though. Entry is around $27. I wouldn’t go back.

Great food plus a bar, live music... What's not to like and an added spectacular view from the deck outside.

We were sent to the 'terrace' which was the cemented outside area, which was sloping downwards towards the river. Therefore the flimsy aluminium chairs were also sloping backwards which was incredibly uncomfortable and it was cold. Plastic tables, no ambience whatsoever. Couldn't hear or see the band except for a TV screen. The price was the same as the tables inside which is unacceptable. Then there's the food! Ridiculously priced especially considering the quality. Hardly any choice and the ingredients were inferior and very poorly cooked and prepared. I ordered the nachos which was basically inedible. The band was mediocre. Overall an unpleasant experience.

I love jazz. Googled jazz music near me and Brisbane Jazz Club popped up! Amazing! Me and my partner head on down there to check it out. We walk in and are “greeted” by a lady who made me feel like I was 3 inches tall. And I tried, I really tried to smile through it and be friendly but this lady wasn’t having any of it. So sorry we didn’t realise that it was a ticketed event but you could maybe have informed us of that fact without the condescending undertone of ‘why are you pieces of trash here’. Very much ruined my night so thanks for that. I love jazz but don’t know if I’d even try going back to buy a ticket given the condensing greeting we got…

Wonderful staff, food and music. Covid restrictions have limited the amount of people allowed in. Highly recommend for great Jazz and a lovely venue.

Great place. A hidden Gem & surprise in Brisbane. The food was amazing, the baked chicken breast was to die for. The band on the night was toe Tappin good also.

What a brilliant experience, well organised, great band with a amazing atmosphere. The food was excellent, we were a party of 6 and tried everything on the menu with no complaints. Will definitely be back.

A fantastic location with the coolest people in town and great live music . One of Brisbanes hidden gems . A very romantic dinner & show with a gorgeous back drop of the city lights and the river

Always a good time at this classic old club on the Brisbane river, a must do if you love jazz!

Don't expect to have dinner here. We came and the club was half full and we couldn't order the food we wanted because it was sold out after 30 minutes of opening. Outrageous

Rave reviews, great club, great experience, so grateful we got to experience Domenico Taraborrelli’s performance there as well. We’ve been to Jazz clubs all around the world, this is a hidden gem. Brisbane you are so fortunate!

Some of the best jazz you'll hear in Brisbane, with friendly and helpful bar staff. With a great selection of nibbles and delicious food, cooked to order

I don't want to share details of our experiences at the Brisbane Jazz Club for fear of this delightful intimate venue being sold out. Suffice to write that if you enjoy local Jazz in all it's variety, in a venue beside the Brisbane River close to Brisbane's CBD, then search the Brisbane Jazz Club website for a performance you may enjoy and book a table. Then if you are local to Greater Brisbane, support this volunteer run music venue by becoming a member.

The music is fantastic, the views stunning and the atmosphete warm and welcoming. However the menu is a let down and the food even more so. Probably better to Grab a meal before you go!

Amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff, good food, great selection of drinks. Loved it

A friendly, vibrant and exciting location on Kangaroo point with beautiful views of the Brisbane River. As a venue it's very underrated but has great entertainment value with the live music, and the bar and restaurant serve up excellent drinks and food. The team are very professional and their passion for the Jazz club is apparent from the way the club brings patrons back again and again. Makes for a very fun night out in a location that is hard to beat.

Wonderful venue. Great staff and still a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Loved the Brisbane Jazz Club. Beautiful setting, amazing music, THE most hospitable volunteer staff looking after us. And AMAZING food from Story Bridge Catering. So many reasons to go back. And did I mention the view!! Cant wait to go back again. Newbie mistake tho, plan ahead and make sure you ring and make a booking.

From their website I hadn't realised it's a "listening" club and not the relaxed vibe they suggest. Definitely full of jazz enthusiasts. The location means it closes early. They have a limited range of craft beers and an oddly mixed COVID policy that means you order drinks from your table but you go to the kitchen to order food. I enjoyed myself, but it wasn't my expectation based upon their website.

Survived the 2011 Flood and 2020 pandemic. Great music and views, a Brisbane icon

Great night of jazz on the river with great Cory views and food.

A great jazz club on the edge of Brissy river in Kangaroo Point. Run by a wonderful team and great services by volunteers. Table drink service means you can sit back and watch the show and delicious food provided by the Story Bridge Hotel staff on site. A great date night or a catch up in a small intimate group.

An enjoyable evening. Lots of friendly people. Fabulous band singers and music. Great food and drinks to compliment the night.

I was there for the first very recently. It was beyond my expectations. Friendly and welcoming staff and volunteers, good music, and excellent river view.

A brilliant night out with live music in Brisbane. $30 for a ticket and it was completely worth it. Very nice staff who are mostly volunteers who care about the club and music. They did a raffle and sell jazz books and CDs. Lovely atmosphere, a real jazz club feel and on the Brisbane River at the tip of kangaroo point. There is usually a band on Thursday to Sunday, with (tasty and classy) food and drink available. Recommend booking ahead as it can get very busy.
