Birdland Jazz Club

"Still repping jazz music to the fullest", this "legendary" Theater District supper club presents "world-class" talent in a "large yet comfortable" room where "there isn't a bad seat" (and the Southern menu is "pretty good" too); since the cost of a table skews "high", economizers say the "best bet is to sit at the bar."

Consider a very chill evening at this venue, with the Chico O’Farrill Orchestra — named for the late leader but now led by his son Arturo (the sweat-drenched guy at the piano), doing Latin jazz. It’s an older, sit-at-the-table-and-clap crowd, if that’s your thing.

This legendary club abandoned its distant uptown roost in 1996 for a more convenient spot in Midtown, where it has established itself once again as one of the city’s premier high-end jazz spots. While the legend of Parker, Monk, Gillespie, and other bebop pioneers still holds sway, this isn’t a crowded, smoky joint of yesteryear. The big room is comfy and classy, with great sound and great...

When the original Birdland opened fifty-one years ago in December, 1949, Charlie Parker was the headliner and the club was located on Broadway, a few blocks west of 52nd Street, which was a hotbed of jazz in the 1930s and 40s. For the next fifteen years, the club's survival formula was built upon memorable double and triple bills, commencing at 9 p.m. and sometimes lasting 'til dawn.

Cavernous for a jazz club but comfort, great acoustics and eclectic booking make up for it.

Birdland is a must-do for anyone who enjoys jazz. The music is the best, nationally-known performers/household names right in front of your face. The cover charges are not unreasonable for NY and for the kinds of performers you can hear. The drinks are normal bar prices, not jacked up to add to the cover like some places, as is the...

When you stumble on a little gem in a back road, call up reserve a table and go , you wonder why you ever go to the places that are so over exposed, priced and hyped. We wanted a different sort of evening which was not pretentious in any way... Walking through what looked like a dingy closed venue ,...

I could not see that last review without saying how much I love the Cast Party. I've gone several times and it's always uplifting, fun, warm, chock full of talent. I'll keep going!

Love this venue, not just for their roster of stellar jazz performers, but also for their incredible staff, the great layout and for a kitchen that produces some really tasty food. You cannot go wrong with any of their sandwiches.
Reservations are highly recommended and the earlier you arrive the closer you will be seated towards the stage. Doors open...

Nice place to see jazz. All the jazz greats come through the "Jazz Corner of the World". Also, check out the Birdland Big Band on Friday evenings at 5:00. They're great. As an added bonus, they always end their shows by playing the song "Birdland". Hearing "Birdland", at Birdland? Mighty fine!
