Jazz Cafe

★ 4.5 (5,879)$$ · Mid-range

Jazz Cafe in Camden pairs a restaurant serving dinner with a stage for live jazz, soul, funk, and hip-hop acts, making it a hybrid of dining and nightlife. It has built a strong reputation for booking quality acts in an intimate standing-room setting, drawing consistently high praise from reviewers for both the food and the music. It leans toward a culturally rich, music-first experience rather than a straightforward dance club.

What people say

"Finally visited this place for the first time to catch a gig after passing it many times. Was really impressed with the cafe part upstairs which looked great for an alternative view of the stage. Ample bars at each end with friendly staff and a decent selection of drinks. Great location in Camden, would be very happy to visit again sometime."
