Oct 21, 2022

I had taken 2 seats at the bar and we found ourselves standing like cattle without anyone explaining anything to us. At first we thought we were waiting standing until places became available but no, we stayed standing the whole concert... at no time was it indicated that there were not enough room for everyone when booking. In addition, the welcome given to us by the staff was terrible, we really felt like less than nothing. The concert started 20 minutes late, and the air conditioning was really too strong. I even got yelled at when I took out my water bottle to drink water. Luckily the artist we saw was amazing which saved the evening a bit. In short, I do not recommend this jazz bar, unless you really like the artist who passes. Otherwise I think there are other jazz bars in NY where you can have a better night.

This was my first time attending and I will say that I will certainly be returning! Great atmosphere, great music, great history!

Omg good music, food and drinks, yes I'm going back. Our table was right next to the stage. The only thing I hated was that we had to wait an hour in line before the show started just to get a great seat.

Questions & Answers

We bought two tickets for table seating, does that mean we're supposed to get food as well or drinks only would be fine?

Camille M | Oct 21, 2018
Kris Ahlstrom | Oct 21, 2018

It would be acceptable to get only drinks.

Hello! I'm a jazz enthusiast, to include jazz dancing. Is there a dance floor/room to get wicked? Or should I plan to stay seated throughout the show?

Angela Clark | Oct 20, 2021
pam brasey | Oct 20, 2021

Sadly I didn't see any dance space. The venue is a little tight space wise but you should enjoy the show. I knew we did.

Why they close so early. It's NYC the city that never sleeps

Raymond Plowden | Oct 21, 2018
Anthony DeCrescenzo | Oct 21, 2018

Second show usually starts at 10:30. A set is usually 90 minutes, give or take. I'm guessing the real reason for their hours is that without entertainment most people don't frequent the place as "just a bar". So outside of the show times, the place is pretty empty. Not a reason to stay open even later.

My friend purchased tickets for Stanley Clarke online , Do we need to havethe tickets printed out ? Or we show our conformation tickets from our phones ? We both do not own printers.

J K Kelley | Oct 21, 2018
kecia dorsey-rosa | Oct 21, 2019

I would think you could show your confirmation tickets from your phone. Not everyone has a printer so that will have to be acceptable as long as the names match with your ID.

Trying to reserve two seats/table for dinner show early for the next Eddie Palmieri performance. Have tried to call The Blue Note about ten times...cant get a person on the phone. Think Eddie will be there July 4th.

Joan Werner | Oct 20, 2021
Brenda Fleming | Oct 20, 2021

They do not answer the phone. However, if you go online to purchase your tickets you will also see who's playing. Seating is not assigned or saved. The earlier you get there, the better choice you have. All seating are good seats. 👍

Is there a cover charge to get in or just a flat rate for bar or table?

Jonathan Seal | Oct 20, 2020
Mike L | Oct 20, 2020

There's generally always a cover charge that changes from band to band. It can be anywhere from about $25-75. They also often have a late show by a different artist and that usually costs $10-20 or thereabouts. The tables cost more than the bar area..but if you can afford it I'd recommend the table seating cause you can see and hear the show much better than at the bar. PS... I also recommend buying your table or bar ticket before the day of the show cause some shows sell out way in advance. As well as you should get on line about 30-45 minutes before the show cause that's when the line starts forming before most shows. Pps..when you purchase your tickets your name will be at the door on the night of the show. They don't send you actual tickets. You just give your name when they start asking the people on line and when you get inside a host will take you to the tables. The earlier you get there the better the table you can pick.

Hello, I have seen families at Blue note  The bar area would not be the right one, the tables are better, there are food and drinks with and without alcohol. I honestly do not know if they charge minors.

Luiz Carrilho | Oct 21, 2019
Jose Frias | Oct 21, 2019

Yes you can sit in the bar area. Don't remember prices on drinks. But the place is pricey, good and worth the money but pricey.
