Welcome to Curtains Jazz Club, a late-night bar inspired by the world’s great jazz rooms: Ronnie Scott’s in London, Smalls in New York, 70s psychedelic dens, and the record bars of old Tokyo. Every night, the stage comes alive with some of the city’s best jazz musicians. Each night brings its own mood, from soulful grooves to high-tempo improvisation. Curtains are open seven nights a week with live jazz, great drinks, and a room made for grooving.
