Smoke Jazz & Supper Club

"Incredible evening! Had the most amazing night sitting right behind Bill Charlap, the famous Jazz pianist. Seriously, luck was on our side! An hour just flew by as we soaked in his awesome tunes. It was like time had its own rhythm, and we couldn't believe our luck to be part of such a cool experience."

"I got 5 stars because it was lovely, The music was amazing, the environment was great, But the only thing that was not comfortable was that it's mandatory to order food and no one asks if you're hungry or not. Please if you can manage that not classy thing would be perfect. The food, drinks, service and music were amazing."

"Smoke is the real deal. There is only one other jazz club (with no restaurant) in NYC that offers such a consistently stellar lineup of superb jazz musicians. Among those we have enjoyed here, to give you a sense of my and my wife’s jazz preferences: Brad Mehldau, George Cables, Joe Farnsworth, Emmet Cohen, Bill Charlap, Billy Hart, Cyrus Chestnut, George Coleman, Vincent Herring, Al Foster . . . the list goes on. On top of the music, the kitchen - run by Paul Stache’s wife and co-owner Molly Sparrow Johnson - produces consistently excellent dinners that are readily a solid notch above other clubs that operate a restaurant. Paul himself is usually in the club, making personally sure everything is running smoothly and chatting with guests and musicians. Laurie, the club’s manager, is always welcoming and making sure the uniformly attentive and friendly staff is in top form. Aside from all that - if you can’t get a ticket (it does occasionally happen), Smoke offers a live streaming option (and excellent CD recording). I am a bit of an audiophile and can assure you the sound quality of Smoke’s on-line streaming service is the best - I’ve listened to them all - as is the camera work. Unless you’re into fusion, funk or other jazz offshoots (nothing wrong with that, just not my cup of tea) and wish to hear great jazz musicians preceded by an excellent dinner in a wonderful atmosphere, this is THE club to patronize.

"The Band was amazing that performed Aug. 26, 2023 when we went! The drummer and bass player were my favs! Food and atmosphere was also great. We came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and they brought him a dessert with a candle. That made the night even more special. We will be back again!!!!"

"I was so looking forward to experiencing my first jazz club. What atmosphere and decor. As soon as you enter, you get a vibe. This club has a history of jazz entertainers. We sat near the back but were not so far where we felt it was too far. The acoustics were great. The servers were attentive and gracious. You should buy your tickets well in advance to ensure a seat. This will be on my list of jazz bars to enjoy again in the future."
