Our 2nd visit to this venue and we can't wait to visit again. The band were excellent and played through the night untiil the early hours.
There was a great atmosphere and the staff were great.
Well worth the visit, great start to our weekend in London

Amazing regular bar for me in soho, great vibes & cocktails are delicious! Friendly staff!
What a little gem of a place. A lovely atmosphere, great history. Probably not for people who are to up themselves. Food was nice drinks were reasonable for London...we will be back we loved it.
Always visit with friends when I'm down from Scotland, fantastic atmosphere, great music, nice drinks and just very friendly welcoming place, not to mention the history, legend & great artwork - always look forward to the next visit, just wish it was a little closer to where I live, love what you guys have there, gem of a venue 👍
A lovely warm welcome to a very intimate bar. The music and company were excellent. Would come back here anytime I'm in London. Brilliant.
Walked in on my own. Everyone there introduced themselves to me and 10 mins later we were all singing. Makes you love London even more
Love the place. Been a few times now. Perfect way to spend the small hours. Especially if we can get in the little booth by the stage. Perfection
Absolutely amazing club! Food not good but it was cheap and filled a hole! The band was absolutely amazing! Atmosphere was rocking! The drinks were reasonably priced fot london! The service was good! Absolutely amazing night and would recommend to anyone that loves jazz as much as me �
Recommended for all jazz lovers. Very cozy, and staff are friendly.
Food there isn’t bad at all. I enjoyed a music live show, with a good drink and yummy bite.

One of the best small late-night haunts in Soho, Jazz After Dark gets an eclectic and fascinating mix of musicians to perform each night on its tiny stage.
From night to night you might be entertained by a German chanteuse strumming a ukelele (Manuela? She's gone back to Dusseldorf I think), or a blues band, jazz ensemble or crooner.
Amy Winehouse used to perform here quite regularly in a very off the cuff kind of way, before her untimely passing, and owner Sam has plastered the walls with his paintings of her. He will regale you with stories of the legend and show you the little VIP area to the side of the stage where she would drink if you ask him nicely.
At different times it's been a bit of a drop in centre for hard living London musicians, and Pete Doherty still comes in when he's not in Paris.
A real family business, Sam and his wife run the little lounge bar late into the night, serving champagne, beer and spirits. You can order food during the evening and they have a lunchtime menu, as well as doing a roaring trade with the office Christmas parties each year.
There is a cover charge, and most people settle in for the night once they arrive, to either enjoy the music or watch the passing parade of characters on Greek Street.
Based on my personal experience and opinion.
The place is small so obviously it’s not gonna get too crowded which is a plus for me it’s a small cozy jazz club it’s not a techno club. The staff were lovely to us. Can’t comment on food as we didn’t have any. The owner was kind to us and his wife as well and he made efforts to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. The live music was amazing, bouncer was kind and helpful and Amy’s room was so lovely I would definitely recommend.

Amy Lives
Her spirit is evident from the moment you walk in, Sam, the long time owner, has some lovely portraits on display of her and all sorts of beautiful things. I always like being next to her room when I perform. The musicians are always great 👍

Currently on my first trip to London and happened across jazz after dark by chance. Am on my 2nd visit as I am writing this. My only critique is its priceiness to get in and for a pint, but i understand the reason as we all need to make a living and the cost of living crises isn't making that easy. In terms of the venue itself, no complaints. It is quite small, but that adds to a nice and chilled atmosphere. The blonde waitress/barmaid who has served me tonight and last night is an absolute treat. Very welcoming and very warm smile. Seems more than happy and keen to help all customers. The band playing last night and tonight are fantastic, the singer in particular is absolutely amazing. Overall a pleasant experience and if I am in London again, I shall definitely visit jazz after dark again. Just a nitpick here, the music that's playing while the band is resting should be more jazz classics as opposed to popular songs.
I went yesterday on a date, completely randomly. Best experience ever, starting from the most welcoming door man, all the way to the staff and the band playing, everyone was so nice, I felt like home instantly. The waitress gave us a sit literally next the drummer, he was so cool and nice. Can’t wait to go again!
Wonderful place. Went on a weekday and everyone was friendly and you could tell the band was just having fun.
The amy winehouse vibe is strong. Say hi to Sam!!
Great little bar! Old style but still a Soho vibe. Basic but makes up for this in atmosphere.
A very intimate jazz bar in the heart of London. A lot of history has been made here. The people here are quite kind as well. Enjoyed my experience very much so. Thank you
No food but great cocktail menu. One-of-a-kind spot! Will always remember it and return.
We go regularly, especially when we have guests in town, the cozy VIP area is a sweet little spot right by the band. The service, the music and the drinks are great. Towards the end of the sets it’s good to get up for a little dance if you can squeeze yourself in! Always looking forward to the next time! See you soon!
Not for everyone but I would definitely recommend going. The live music is great, if you intend to order cocktails you'd be better off ordering a jug as the actual glasses themselves are quite small for the price you pay. It definitely has character and is quite interesting as it doubles as an art gallery!
Love this place, excellent live Jazz where you get to sit next to the stage. Good range of drinks and simple bar food. Perfect place to end the night.
