Blue Note

Get here early for your 8pm show if you want a table. Arrived at doors 6pm and had the an amazing seat. Although some seat were reserved, ticket master did not offer any reserved seating... It may have been sold out. The show acoustics were fantastic, I have spent many drunken nights across the street and did not know this gem existed. I grabbed a burger which was fantastic and a couple of drinks. I the drinks are a bit pricey but it's a club so it's not the place to try and tie one on. Our server was also amazing I was so caught up in the atmosphere I forgot to get their name. Overall a great experience, regardless of musical preference definitely stop by the blue note.... Shout out to Jose James for a killer show

First time trying Blue Note and it was amazing. They required minimum purchase of $20 or $25 per person. Don’t remember exactly but it is better to order some food and drinks to meet the minimum amount. The jazz play was amazing as people explained in other reviews. The servers were kind and the payment system is done with the apps. Great place.

Loved it! If you are looking for a cozy jazz concert with a table just for you 2 this is rather not the place for you. But if you are looking to enjoy some great music with other people and to experience the best jazz club ever while snacking and drinking- this is definitely the place to be! Make sure you get there early to be seated at the table of your preference. Also I recommend taking a scarf or a sweater as the temperature is rather low.

This was my first time visiting this jazz club and I loved it! I sat right in front and watch Chris Botti perform and it was awesome. We only tried their calamari and drinks, but everything was good and our waitresses were all very nice. I’d definitely like to return when the pandemic ends; the seating was a little too close for comfort even though you have to show your vax card and ID before you come in. Still a great time, I highly recommend!

Finally made it to the iconic Blue Note Jazz Club! I recommend getting a reservation as this place gets packed out quickly and you may not have much luck waiting in the standby line. We didn’t eat but the food looks great. We caught DJ Logic who is “widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip-hop realms” and he did not disappoint. It was a 6 piece set with keys, sax, bass, guitar, drums, and DJ Logic orchestrating it all.

I really want to like this place. And maybe we will try an evening show? The Harlem Gospel Choir was awesome. But our experience for brunch was less than stellar. The tables are too small and way to crowded for food service. It’s uncomfortable for just sitting. The sound was way way to loud for gospel music. My watch regularly was warning me of 100+ db. For an intimate setting like this, it’s a bit ridiculous. The food tasted ok but nothing stellar. Then there was our waitress. She barely acknowledged our table. We ordered through the app as recommended. She didn’t even deliver the food. We asked for water. She said it would be a while unless we wanted to buy sparkling water. We said no we just wanted tap water. She said ok. BUT she never brought it. We asked 2 more times. Again she refused to bring it. The table on the next section, their waitress brought the whole table glasses of water. The table behind us had pitcher of water. I’m not sure why she refused to serve us. I recognized the other waitresses regularly checking on their tables. Again this may have been an isolated incident with an individual waitress. But we weren’t impressed overall.

A fabulous historic live music venue that is both atmospheric and intimate. We found the door staff to be a little rude but waitress staff were lovely. Had a table by stage and Butcher Brown were superb. A great venue for music in NYC.

My favorite Jazz bar in NYC. Every concert is unforgettable, every artist that plays here is either already an established great in the jazz scene, or an emergent talent that you'll be able to experience before the rest of the world catches on to them. A must stop for any jazz fan visiting NYC

Went to Blue Note for my Birthday. Host was amazing and attentive. Their signature Blue Martini was good! We ordered The fried calamari which I felt was undercooked because the outside was not crunchy. As an entrée I ordered the pork loin which was very bland and overpriced. The place was sold out so it was very crowded and the band was really good. However we got there for 6 PM to have an appetizer cocktails and dinner and the band was to start at 8 PM however they did not start until 8:35 PM which I find inexcusable. Blue Note had a 10:30 PM show which means you had to be out probably by 10 PM so they can set up for the next set of guests . I don’t feel it was worth the money because the food is not that great and the show did not start on time even though they were really good . I traveled out of state for this and most likely will not do it again. I do understand that not everything can start on time but at the same time I don’t understand how you can take my money in a timely fashion, however, your performers and your place cannot start timely. If you are going to the Blue Note in New York City purely for the music then I would say it’s worth it. As far as food is concerned, I will stick to cocktails and an appetizer.

Great venue with the finest players! Saw the Rolling Stones Touring Band plus guests. The 6:00 p.m. dinner show was amazing, Their A game staff on top of it all. Food was meh, martini was good.
