Dalston Jazz Bar

Absolutely recommended! it's just I N C R E D I B L E!
One of the most amazing experiences I've ever had in London, and I've been living here for long time! Live jazz music + amazing food, it's incredibly rich, tasty and the portions are very generous! We had a mix of fish, including fresh oysters, a large king prawn cooked in a delicious sauce, mussels and focaccia bread on the side. It was a lot! and so delicious! We really didn't expect to be so incredible honestly! We had an amazing night! One of my favourite bits (as if this wasn't great enough already ): the service is just amazing! Literally everyone working there is open and smile and so nice! The chef was genuinely an incredible person and the waiters were amazing :) It's a gem, a rare and precious place! Please, go if you had the chance! You definitely won't regret it! 5+++ star, no doubt! I'll be coming back soon :)

This place is an absolute gem!!! The seafood is amazing, the best seafood I have eaten in the UK. The jazz is incredible!!!!! I highly recommend Dalston Jazz Bar. 🎷🎷🎷

Very good experience at this spot. Music was great, with a live jazz band playing. The service was a bit disappointing, as one of the servers was a bit rude and they didn’t explain very well how things worked when we arrived. Apart from that, food and wine were nice

This is the most joyful experience I've ever had in London. Lovely spot for live music and absolutely AMAZING food!! It's definitely a must visit and I'll take everyone I know there no doubt!! If there were more stars it'd definitely deserve it!

Best seafood, best jazz. One of the best places to eat amazing shrimps and listen great live music. Honest food, great jazz, no faff. Always very busy so book it in advance. If you have a day in London and best place to have a great local east London experience.
Otherwise a favorite anyway.

I ended up here on a Friday evening, so this isn’t a review of the food or drink, which seems to be a positive experience. Unfortunately, I had a terrible time at the jazz bar. From the start they allowed way too many people in, they were packed in there like sardines with literally no space to move. The bouncer was on an incredible power trip, threatening to kick my friends and myself out after I asked him if the whole smoking are was closed. He said yes, and I didn’t say anything in response. He then said if you’ve got a problem with that I’ll be happy to kick you out, and continued to threaten me, and my friends who weren’t even part of the conversation. This obviously put a huge damper on my night. I watched him scream at people that they should go home, and even physically shut the door on a group of girls trying to leave as they were halfway out trapping them between the door and doorway. I can only assume they were so desperate to leave because the inside stunk of raw fish, which isn’t an exaggeration. This could be the worst bar I’ve ever been to, and they had to audacity to charge an entrance fee. I left very soon after.

There's a lot going for this joint. It's your typical hazy little jazz bar 🍸 with a great crowd. They had an awesome live jazz band playing 🎷 last time we were there. The staff are really down to Earth and casual 👌🏽 and the general vibe is on point.

They have a unique pricing philosophy which encourages you to pay the amount you deem fit for the whole thing. Which I think more places should experiment with. The food menu always seems to have exotic meats on offer. I've tried their ostrich and alligator 🐊 in the past and this time round I also spotted kangaroo on the menu. Definitely one for adventurous eaters. They do also have "normal" food if that's what you prefer 😂.

Basically this place is awesome and so worth seeing 🙌🏽

One of my favourite spots in London! This is definitely one of London’s best kept secrets. The live jazz is always fantastic and the atmosphere is amazing. The staff is really lovely and friendly, and the prices are very affordable. The food served is also delicious - and the menu has no set prices so allows customers to pay what they can/what they think it’s worth.
