Intimate and traditional jazz club , a must-go if you enjoy good music . Make reservations at the site and plan to arrive 30 minutos before the show as seating works on a first-come first-served basis.

The Corcoran Group

Home to Jazz for over 70 years and still showcasing some of the best talent in the world. Make sure you arrive early for your reservation – you just might lose your seat.

The history seeps through the room. Cozy and tight, it’s an older establishment so prepare for staircases entry and exit. Great acoustics , legendary vibes, almost 70 yrs of icons played here♥️ A must!

Benjamin Johansson

This world famous jazz-club keeps its promises. A beautiful old ambience, where you can lean back and simply enjoy the brilliant music . And on top of that, you get it for an affordable price .

Mark B

A piece of music history in Greenwich Village . Terrific room, wonderful acoustics . If you can avoid it, don't sit near the bar - it can be distracting from the real reason you're going to the Vangua

Polina Weitz

A true gem for jazz lovers! (no chit-chat, just music ). It's an intimate historic space. Tickets are required, and there's a 1 drink minimum per person. Service and cocktails were solid.

Make sure you arrive early as this is a popular place. Enjoy a cocktail and switch off your cell phone to fully appreciate the music .

Love this club, it's small so you're very intimate with the artist . Plus there's photographs of the jazz greats that played here in the past. Nice, cool vibe.

A mythic place. You have to go there if you love music .

Great Jazz club . It was our first time there and would definitely go back the next time we are in the city .

Washington Square Hotel

Opening in 1935, the club went to an exclusive jazz format in 1957 where many famous recordings were made by jazz luminaries. Fantastic acoustics .

The village Vanguard orchestra was amazing in this nice and cozy jazz club in West Village

Andrew Baron

Transport yourself back to the late 50s and enjoy an intimate experience. Sets are exactly one hour long which is perfect: leaves you wanting more before you get bored.

Sarah Colvin

No food, well drinks , awkward room, AMAZING music . Go to the first set, pay one cover, stay all night and only pay the drink minimum for each additional set. You couldn't possibly regret it! LOVE!!!

Time Out New York

After 30 years—during which time John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Bill Evans grooved here—this basement club still hosts the crème de la crème of mainstream jazz talent. Doors open at 8pm.

Heather Pommernelle

Get there early! We’re in the back but still - we’re at the Village Vanguard! Memorable...
