    Jazz club inside the Roxy Hotel. $25 cover plus 2 drinks minimum. Place and decor are amazing, gives a speakeasy vibe, sort of underground. The band that played was talented and has great vibes. Food and service were very disappointing- food was acceptable but took very long. “Cheese platter” was two pieces of goat cheese with a slab of jam. Had to ask the waiters several times to get anything which was frustrating. Whole group thought it was not worth it - expensive for a low quality experience. Will try to come back and give it another chance.

    Great venue. Bring some serious cash because it is not cheap. There is a cover charge with a 2 drink minimum so check your bill and get your 2 drinks. I know many places have a cover charge but their drink and food menu are ridiculously priced for what you get. So come prepared. I'll eat elsewhere before attending a show here. Lol. Overall the venue is fantastic. The show was great!

    I would give this place a 3 stars for service and actual experience but the was definitely worth the overall experience of going once. This was my first jazz show, and the performances were fantastic. The vibe of the speakeasy type club and the hotel are amazing. It seems a bit of a “tourist trap” (unsurprising as it’s in a hotel) charging a cover and 2 drink minimum. They didn’t have any 3 of the bottles of wine we ordered but were able to recommend another bottle and gave us a good price on it for the inconvenience. We ordered a cheese plate with a selection of cheeses chosen by the chef and found it funny that this simply meant 2 slices of brie, a cranberry slaw and 4 little pieces of toast. Not sure what “selection” was supposed to mean but I could make a better cheese plate from the dairy drawer in my fridge. Overall, I’m glad I went once for the experience but likely would not go again.

    Cool new york ambience. The seating for the live jazz show was good; we were seated in front so we got nice view of the stage. They have a 35$ cover charge which includes two items minimum but drinks were nice. I also tried the chicken burger but it was nothing extraordinary. Next time would only come for the music. Overall it was very enjoyable experience.

    We came here after the Halloween parade. When we arrived the gentle man said 35 per person and two minimum drinks per person. My friend and I where just not sure the door guy spoke to the manger waved the door fee which we where very happy about because we only got 10 mins of the remanding jazz band. They where amazing. We will definitely come back next time to see a whole gig. Drinks where nice really efficient Service!

    Such a great place to spend time while listening to a world-class jazz show. I had a blast and the musicians were amazing and welcoming. You better have a reservation and know that at least two drinks have to be consumed during your time in there. I strongly recommend giving it a shot to drinks and foods and enjoy the show. Please be respectful and don’t talk during the show.

    Pretty good ambience and setup for a decent live jazz show! Definitely a little pricey given the cover charge and two item minimum is only for one set which runs around an hour, hour-fifteen. No clue about the food but the drinks were pretty weak.

    Fantastic little jazz club in Tribeca! Brandon was an excellent waiter and took great care of us. Menu was the only disappointment ...not a single vegetarian option and rather typical bar food.

    Love love love this spot. Great atmosphere, drinks are very good and jazz music was great! Such a fun spot (not cheap)

    a great date spot! but super expensive :(. don’t think the food was worth based on the reviews, so we just enjoyed the jazz band and the 2 drinks minimum per person. the ambience is romantic but we were advised to not talk as much during the performances. the jazz band was entertaining and friendly too! loved the vibes.

    A fantastic intimate jazz club. It is on the lower level of the Roxy hotel. This place is great. The food is good. The drinks are great, and the service is attentive and quick. Overall a great experience. There is a cover charge with two shows a night. It is a little pricey but I felt it was worth it. Pick the second show so you can stick around for more jazz. Reservations are a must.

    The ambience in this place is what I would call rustic luxury. The mixologists are very talented as are the musicians and the vibe is very stylish and suave. They have ample entertaining areas and exquisite food. Would definitely return another day (or night).

    Such a classic New York City experience. Great show, good cocktails, fun crowd. We booked in a reservation and requested a table in front and had what I would say is the best seat in the house. Two different shows (research the bands in advance on their website). Loved it!

    Came here for Valentine’s Day—the whole experience felt like that scene in Goodfellas where Henry and Karen walk through a restaurant and end up in the front. The drinks were good, the music was awesome, the food was alright. We had the chicken sandwich and burger and both were a little underwhelming. DON’T FORGET there’s a $35 cover charge per person and a 2 drink minimum. Expect your bill to be no less than $120 between 2 people. All things considered though we had a great time.

    Very cool spot to take in some classy musicians doing what they do best! The underground vibe makes you feel like your in Europe. A+

    One of my favorite jazz venues in town. Went there twice. Located at the basement of ROXY Hotel with chill early twentieth century vibes. Super talented musicians, friendly staff and excellent service. There s coverage, you need to book online, minimum two drinks apply. Little pricey and crowd are loud. Bonus!!!! There s a retro cinema next door, where you can watch a movie before the jazz.

    Just perfect. Great jazz. Great atmosphere. Great service. Good food and drinks. Came in for a nice and quiet night without kids! Space - small tables but room for large parties Music - variety for everyone Staff - friendly and professional Kids - leave at home. We love them but it’s time for the adults.

    If you love and honor music specifically jazz this is a must. Outstanding performance in such a unique environment. 10/10 would recommend as a date night or visit

    One of my go-to spots in the city. Mac & cheese is my fave. The artichoke toast was surprisingly good. Drinks are lovely. And of course, the jazz is divine.

    Great place, great music and the food is good only gripe so really it's 4.5 stars. On your bill the tip percentage it includes the cover charge. It's misleading I want to tip 20% on the food. I shouldn't be tricked into tipping on the cover.

    It’s is a great surprise for those who love to enjoy some good jazz🎶. It’s better if you make a reservation, no wait time and help with the whole experience. There is a cover charge and a minimum to spend per person, so be ready to spend a little extra. Music was amazing, service excellent and the cheese board was fine. But, do not miss the experience and go with someone that would love and enjoy it! Let me know how did it go after visiting 😊

    Made us leave before the first set had ended. I understand they have other reservations but when people pay a cover to see a set you can not kick them out till it’s over. We had spent already $400 on food and drink and would have got dessert and more drinks but were made to leave in the middle of the last song.

    Loved the hospitality. I came there to celebrate my birthday and I left with so much happiness. The waitress was so kind, and the artists on stage were awesome. I enjoyed hearing the sax and the bass. My friend and I were so happy overall. It was a beautiful atmosphere.

    I was impressed with the modern decor. Think upscale Hollywood lounge. I like their red wine flights, but would prefer a larger selection to choose from. Prices are somewhat expensive, but they gotta pay for all that swanky furniture.

    Nothing new to say that hasn’t been said before. Food was terrible. The drinks were good! The music was also good. They have a Photo Booth at the hotel entry and the aesthetic of the place was so nice!

    I listened to two great jazz performances at this underground jazz club. We were walk-ins and were able to get a table, although it was pretty busy so you should get reservations. The two mocktails I ordered were pretty good. There's a $35.00 cover and a 2 item minimum.

  • 5/5 Desiree C. 4 months ago on Google
    Fun place for a nice night out. The music and drinks were great. The one hour sitting time was a bit short to finish the 2 drink minimum, which made it less relaxing.

    I've visited The Django several times and most recently brought my family who was visiting for the weekend. Overall, we enjoyed our evening and the fantastic band, but had a few key interactions that really left a sour taste in our mouths. First, we arrived about 20 minutes early for our reservation and checked in immediately. We happily waited until it was our reservation time to be seated, but our names were never called. About 5 minutes AFTER our reservation time, I approached the host stand to inquire about being seated and was defensively told that they had called our party several times to be seated -- which was not true as we were standing right there. We did hear a name that sounded similar to the one our reservation was under (and made our way to the host stand) but they took back another party with the name. The host was extremely defensive and did not apologize for whatever the mix-up was. Once seated, we realized we were seated next to a very large party of clearly intoxicated patrons. I am all for a good night out, but there was no enforcement of house rules to keep chatter at a low volume, and it was both awkward and frustrating trying to listen to the band at times. Additionally, staff moved the group sitting at the table directly in front of us TWICE (a total of three parties were seated there in the hour we were there) which was super distracting and bizarre, made worse by the fact that it was always in the middle of the song. Finally, after being told that our reservation was coming to an end and we needed to hit our drink minimum, we gladly ordered one final drink and were prepared to quickly consume it so we could leave. However, it took 25 minutes for the drink to come -- and we had staff hounding us to leave in that time. We completely understand the need to turn a table over and were happy to vacate as soon as possible, but slow bar service kept us in place. It's a beautiful space with amazing artists, and while the drinks are expensive they are quite good... but the service is absolutely abysmal. For those looking to actually LISTEN and enjoy a live jazz show, this might not be the destination.

    Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful music, a totally awesome scene. HIGHLY recommend for a jazz night out

  • 5/5 Yoav E. 2 years ago on Google
    Expensive, but everything is always splendid. High quality cocktails, the food is fantastic and the performances are always top notch

  • 4/5 Phil C. 2 years ago on Google
    I went with two others to see the music, which was seriously top-level. The 9 PM show actually consisted of two 1h sets. We made a reservation ahead of time. The drinks and food were expensive but great. The ambiance and decor are very unique. The only downside was somewhat slow service.

  • 5/5 Fizz A. 2 years ago on Google
    Trendy underground spot. Perfect for an intimate date night.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Jazz club in all of Manhattan! This subterranean Jazz cellar is one to write home about. Everyone that enjoys jazz club NEEDS to add The Django to their list. The cocktails were superb, and their smoked salmon deviled eggs are so good, we ordered 2!! And the Latin jazz band had the entire room on their feet dancing!! 10/10

  • 5/5 John C. 2 years ago on Google
    Django is the Jazz spot with Kirk Lightsey & Mark Whitefield and company

  • 5/5 Jasmeet Singh B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to spend a night in NYC. Jazz was amazing and so were the drinks. Totally recommend. Get your reservations beforehand

  • 4/5 Angie Flaquer C. 7 months ago on Google
    The jazz club is inside The Roxy, the music was really good and with the second band it even got better. Food was OK, not really a place for food anyway... Atmosphere was nice, not very lively on a Sunday night. To me the only real downside was the cover per person, plus minimum order of 2 items per person too... No wonder it wasn't full, a pity...because the place and the bands were aazing .

  • 4/5 A. O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice spot. However, if I could give 10 stars to the hostess, I would. In all my years in NYC I have never met someone so kind at the door. I think her name is Brianna. A promotion is in order!

  • 5/5 Robert U. 2 years ago on Google
    Yes I may be biased, but as a thirty year Tribeca resident I can only say what an addition the club gives to our neighborhood... Fantastic live music and a fine dining experience combine to make this one of NYC newest hot spots....

  • 5/5 HANE X. 1 year ago on Google
    Update: the cocktails are still great, the beef tartar needed some seasoning but overall good (still i don't understand why they charge extra 3$ for a toast, normally bread comes with beef tartar by default). However the chicken liver mousse was weird - strawberry compote on top of it made it taste very bizarre (it was an opinion of all 3 of us). The service is wonderful though: my friend ordered shrimp cocktail, but got beef tartar by error and it got replaced without a problem. That's why i keep original 5 stars. Classy, wonderful place with great cocktails and always good (but a bit too loud music) - if you want to chat sot closer to the bar.
