Was fortunate enough to see Les Paul at the old location, and this one works hard to live up to the original vibe. The preferred seating closer to the stage only cost a few dollars more, and it was worth it to see the Blues Beatles (except watching the stage from a sideways view can be hard on the neck!)

Plainly and simply the best blues place in Manhattan. Great food, for all budgets, and large selections of drinks at a reasonable price for Timesquare. The programming is just outstanding. The sound quality is astonishing and really transfers the vibe of live performance to the audience. Finally the staff goes the extra mile to please the patrons which is not so common in such places , and seating is quite comfortable (it’s miles above the BN for example). Go and visit them you won’t be disappointed and they really deserve your business.

Excellent venue for up close and personal live music! As a gluten free vegetarian the food options were not the best.....

Love the “new” Iridium! It’s a better space than the old venue. I don’t know why the menu is getting grief from some people. For the NYC club scene, the prices are reasonable. We ordered and were quickly served. I had the Les Paul burger (of course), it’s a fresh huge burger not a frozen hockey puck, cooked to order a perfect medium, with a fresh brioche bun and toppings. Fries were hot and fresh as well. Not sure what some other reviews are about, or the expectations of the reviewers. What, you expect Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen, and Salt Bae as your waiter, for a $20 burger? UPDATED REVIEW: There are a number of questionable reviews for service, we went back and now they make sense. We were among the first seated. Ordered, my partner got her meal and … nothing for me. We asked the person who brought the food and they said they’d check. Then we asked the server who took our order a half hour later, and they said the order was definitely in work. And finally asked again well into the performance. Finally got dinner but the entire point is to get there early and have a meal BEFORE a show. We were never asked if we wanted drink refills. And we weren’t alone, our seat mates didn’t get their order until after I got mine, which again is strange considering all the people who arrived after we did who were served and done. It’s not fair to blame individuals, because most people go to work and do their best. But there’s a Swiss Cheese Theory of failure where multiple breakdowns have to occur. One of the problems in the modern era are that people think they’re experts on everything. I am in no way an expert on good service but a lifetime of dining at clubs like this indicate that there’s some sort of structural problem in their system, for multiple people to be involved and still result in failure for so many guests. TL;DR: it’s a great venue for live music, but dine elsewhere and don’t plan on having any more than one round of drinks. It may even be better to just go to the bar and get your own. NYC has no shortage of great restaurants and bars, avail yourselves of those choices. We don’t plan on ever dining there again.

Fun, underground jazz bar with changing acts throughout the week. Seating is mixed between long, shared tables and individual, round ones - so be prepared for the possibility of sharing. The pianist who played the night we went was exceptional and stole the show.

Excellent place for a show and drinks with friends. See legends of Blues and up and comers, along with a host of talented musicians, play and share their stories. Get up close in this small venue. I have been going here since it was an upper west side location, and now they have been in midtown for the past 10+ years. The only downside is that their food menu used to be more exlectic and a bit better overall for nice dinner theatre experience, but the burgers are still decent. Highly recommend for music and drinks, however. Enjoy!

Went there with my girl from over seas. The girls were very entertaining. Overall had fun. Food was pretty decent, had some egg over easy breakfast burger. For a straight dude not really knowing anything about drag it was pretty good. The Dominican one and the black one were my favorite. I forgot they're stage names. It fills up a decent portion of a Sunday. Extra for alcohol and tip was added to bill automatically which is cool because who likes math? The only thing I wasn't a fan of is the blurry pics my girl got with one of the performers cause she was kind of rushing. Overall b+. Also they kinda dogged me and ignored me cause we were late. The city is confusing. Kind of annoying but the show was to make the girl happy and it did so mission accomplished. She said the queens were better than the ones in her country. I'll confirm eventually when I visit peru.

Service wasn't great. 3 entrees served at different times, had to ask twice for the 4th. 1st time I ever got a martini glass only 1/2 full. Had to tell them we never got the 2nd round of drinks we ordered and were charged for. I know wait staff work hard but pay a little attention. Tip is added into bill already so be aware of that. Burgers and fries were very good as were the empanadas, salmon was over salted on top but center was moist and good. Music and sound system were excellent.

Toom my wife out to see Jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan The Iridium is a great place to see live music Had a wonderful time at this show

What an amazing place to see a show... great staff and service. Food is good and the drinks are even better...love this place

Classic venue for music in intimate setting. Waitstaff attentive without being a distraction. Food was pretty good (you need malt vinegar for fish and chips you heathens). Prices fair for drinks and food. If your favorite artist is booked here by all means go.

Funky small Blues club that's been around forever - only seats about 100 people. Table service. Highly recommended, A bit hard to find because signage is lacking - hidden gem!

OMG what a great time we had! I highly recommend it! The place was perfect and the seating was not bad at all!

Excellent venue for concerts. Seating is comfortable and close to the stage. Sound system is excellent. Food was very good. Very nice service. Was there to see outstanding JJ Sansaverino 🎸. When in Times Square, stop by and hear great music 🎶.

Love iridium. Best jazz club NYC. Zach Brock concert wonderful. Sound was balanced, drinks great, and the intimate warm atmosphere enhanced by seeing Zach's enthusiastic family. A friendly charming and musically satisfying evening. Zach btw super talented jazz violinist with an obvious classical music background. Bass and drums respectful and creative.

I have been to Iridium to see different jazz artists. The service and the food is great. You are not squeezed in like other jazz clubs. They changed their chairs. The chairs are metal low and very uncomfortable to sit on for an 1 and1/2 hour performance Why did you change them? The owner of the club should sit on them and he will see. Whoever made those chairs does not like people to be comfortable It's a shame I really like the club.

Excellent experience. Very nice place to disconnect from all the rush outside and enter the wonderful world of jazz. Very good service even if the place was crowded.

Show was fantastic, venue holds 180 people and they really pack you in tight! Food and drinks were amazing.

While on holiday, we were checking out what concerts we could enjoy and voilà! Richie Kotzen 🥰 and we also met the amazing musician Julia Lage! Great place and music 🎶

Close to Time square, Broadway and other major attractions. Suitable for music lovers, variety of music styles. Decent menu and seating. little pricey

It was a great night of music as Chief Ba Ba Neil Clarke headlined for the first time!

Stanley Jordan was great! 51 st & Broadway the sign is small. Please GPS the food is great but, expensive! One of the best Jazz Clubs in the USA & NYC. Joe the manager was great!

Loved the atmosphere! We had a great experience at drag brunch.

Always will be my favorite place. I come here a lot, especially to see “Alex Skolnick” from the band Testament play here with his jazz band “Alex Skolnick Trio”

Such a lovely place if you love live music ❤️❤️❤️

Great venue, my 2nd time visiting. I listened to an artist named Lindsey Webster. She was awesome.

This is a great small club style venue which is perfect for watching live music. The stage and seating is downstairs, and is a dinner and show type deal typically. The sound is fabulous here! It's not too loud, and there is not really a bad seat in the house. I was lucky enough to see the legendary Les Paul here twice, in 2004 and 2009. They carry on the tradition by featuring first class guitar players an fabulous musicians. The food I must say was excellent!

Top tier instrumentalists and vocalists. Attentive, courteous staff and management. Comfortable, elegant and intimate. Meet and greets with numerous performers.
