Music is really good since I got to see Earl Klugh. I would steer away from the food. My suggestion is that have dinner somewhere else and come in time for the show and have some drinks.

Belle Huang

Arrive early to get a good table near the stage . Attended a Jimmy Heath Big Band performance and loved it! Will definitely return.

Mark Forscher

The staff also knows magic: if you buy 4 seated tickets to the show in advance, watch the fourth seat disappear when the staff seats a stranger at your table. Classy .

Cozy venue can get intimate with the shared table neighbors but it’s part of the experience. classical nyc institution. Always a great selection of musicians ! Drinks are a bit pricey but good. Food ok

Mark Forscher

Good music , terrible food. You could describe the seating as intimate if you think it's intimate to sit *on* the person to your left, right, and behind you without moving for the whole show.

Leo Kim

Gets packed really quickly, and for good reason. Legendary performers give legendary performances here, but at a premium. Even though it's expensive , it's always a good show.

Anthony Crawford

The performance was great and visiting such a great historical place like this is great; but the seating is tight. Table seating will force you to sit shoulder to shoulder with strangers.

James

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS SHOW UP EARLY TO GET THE BEST SEATS. Also don’t sit right at the stage with your back to the performer . Your neck will hate you.

Village Voice

Jeffrey Kao

A bunch of great names here, with the trade off of being pricy and crowded . Regardless, it's worth the experience!

AmateurConcierge

$25 for the show. Great guests but food is to be avoided at all costs. Rightmost balcony seat in the back has the best vantage.

Blue Note Milano

Hi, jazz lover! If you’re planning a trip to Italy, don’t miss Blue Note Jazz Club in Milan. Good italian cuisine and, of course, the best jazz music from all around the world. Read more

i have been many times Blue Note in Milan. it is much better than in NYC. but its cosy atmosphere is better here.

Louis Vuitton

The crème de la crème in New York Jazz , the Blue Note is more of a shrine to the good old days of jazz . Get tickets to the later show and enjoy a few encore songs!

Sopho Girdaladze

Come earlier to get seats in front. Though all seats are good enjoy the show🙌🏻. Recommend

DoubleDeuce

A great place to catch some live tunes . And if it's that time of year, to take in some holiday cheer too!

Augie Ray

Amazing music but spectacularly uncomfortable, w/ chairs & tables packed in beyond the level of comfort & safety. Should be a 6-star spot but is so uncomfortable I think twice before getting tix.

Gadi Shamia

Skip the food, order beer and listen to some good Jazz . Which last night show was more New Orleans and less Denver but it was good nonetheless.

Percy Holmes

The Blue Note is a great spot to enjoy live Jazz or perhaps your favorite artist . I'm now a loyal fan.

Jeetendra Chandragiri

Get here early to ensure a good table close to the stage . Place your orders (vegetarians , you're taken care of), sit back and lose yourself as the legendary performers transport you to Heaven.

Brendon Ambrose

A lot of money for such poor service. Somewhat made up for by great drinks, acts and cocktails . The sound quality is spot on even in a small crowded space.

Alejandra Vargas

Amazing place to have a jazz concert ! Good to have a drink and enjoy the music .

Sam Lee

Awesome!)) but have dinner elsewhere and just come for the show and a drink or 2. Everything grossly overpriced and pack to the gills but the music is the draw

MetroFocus

Performing artist Harry Belafonte who's a regular here calls this local spot one of the hippest jazz joints in the country . Read more about why Belafonte loves Blue Note on MetroFocus Read more

Mag Magpie

Old fashioned jazz bar . Cocktails are dated but quite well made. Food menu is very expensive . Good atmosphere to watch the musicians

Ina Li

They have tiramisu and cheesecake from Eileen's!!!

Blake L

I loved it so much, i went twice in one month. Food and drinks are OK. Go for the music 🎶🎷🎺

Carl Figueiredo

It's the Blue Note: epic NYC jazz venue. The service sucks. Music is what it's about here. You can sit within sweat-range of your favorite icon. Do it

Mark Wert

Saw Michel Camillo and his big band here... We sat way in the back, but we could see and here just fine... And we appeared to have more space than others in the club did.

One of the greatest Jazz clubs in NY! In honor of Black History, check out these noteworthy examples of African-Americans' accomplishments in Music : http://bet.us/BHM

Sofia Uz

Legendary jazz venue, carefully selected performances . You can't go wrong

Karen Dugan

the way they pack you in like a sardine can is what makes New Yorkers despise this place but you can't deny the amazing music that runs through it. Calamari is decent.

tomomi C.

Order more than drinks if you have a chance to stop by here. You won't regret it!

Vincent Velema

Everyday, the greatest Jazz , live for your enjoyment. Come, go there any day of the week. We enjoyed an awesome performance of Kurt Elling :)

Younes Cha

We went to see Women of the World. They were great. The food is unpalatable, really. The cocktails were all surprisingly good though. Service was alright.

Lulú De Panbehchi

This is a great place! The best tables are the ones next to the stage .

Examiner.com

The Blue Note located is located in the heart of Greenwich Village . It is known to many as a Manhattan legend with many new and old jazz groups performing on a nightly basis. Read more

Haldun Kamburoğlu

Music is good but it is not a club. They send the people by check out immediately after the show finishes, to seat next customers for another show. Three show in a night does not mean a night club .

Ercan Balcı

Top jazz players are here, we saw Duke Ellington orchestra tonight, was unbelievable:)

Sabrina Wang

great live jazz night experience. very close distance between the audience and stage .

Lilly Calandrello

The music here is amazing! The list of great artist who have played the Blue Note is phenomenal. The place itself .. not so much. Somewhat of a cave . But I always enjoy it anyway :) Read more

Tracey Larvenz

You can bring your own bottles of wine for a $25 corkage fee . Worth it if you're not a fan of their selection.

No seating at the bar for $100 tickets, you’ll stay in lobby area.

Enzo Martinelli

A must go for jazz clubs in the Greenwich Village

Zuri D

Listening to gr8 Jazz by the comparable Ms Rachelle Ferrell, wht btr V'Dy gift could u ask for... :-)

Jacqui Smith

Get the first set of the night and hold your ground. It may cost more but it's with it

Andrew 😈 Branagan

Get there early. Don't sit at the bar .

Enrique Sallent

Best place in New York for live jazz . Love it!!
