ROOM 623 - HARLEM'S SPEAKEASY JAZZ CLUB

"This is about the music and it’s off the charts amazing. The atmosphere is small and intimate and the energy of the musicians will make it hard not to jump out of your seat. Incredible talent!! Nice selection of craft cocktails. This hidden gem won’t be a secret for long!! Can’t wait to go back…"

"I was not impressed with this overpriced and mediocre jazz club. My party of three was offered a reserved couch seating which was appreciated but the couch armrest was broken which caused me to slip back numerous times and created discomfort amongst us I am sure management was aware of this when I brought it to their attention. On top of this, the waiter was annoying. We were made aware of the $20 minimum and the woman was like a hawk in the sky. She even awkwardly sat behind us for a THIRD time after I informed her the SECOND time she approached us that we would call her when we were ready. We had just arrived from having dinner and truly wasn’t in the mood for food and we are not big drinkers and we felt FORCED to make an order on HER CLOCK. Honestly I would have felt better just paying the $20 minimum cash to be left alone for the rest of the evening. Additionally they automatically added a 20% gratuity which I don’t believe is the standard, I believe the waiter added this in her own. She knew that I was annoyed because she didn’t wish us good bye. She was extremely unprofessional and didn’t even come to check on us for the duration of the show until it ended and with much audacity asking if we wanted another drink. I didn’t enjoy the show because of the annoyances and was ready to go home after about an hour into the show. For a little bit more with the money spent tonight between tickets, their nonsense policy, and unprofessional harassment to order food, I could have taken my family to an official jazz club with better service/quality, furniture that wasn’t broken, and quite frankly way better music."

"Room 623 is a hidden gem, offering a speakeasy experience infused with the soulful sounds of jazz. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it's a haven for those seeking an intimate evening of live music and exquisite cocktails. The lineup of talented musicians sets the perfect mood, while the expertly crafted drinks tantalize the taste buds. Whether you're a jazz enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable night out, Room 623 promises an unforgettable experience for all. Look for the blue light in the alley to find this place."

"This is a very cool, down-the-stairs, short side entrance door club that evokes the mood and ambiance of the best kind of clubs. Great music/musicians, food/drink, and vibe. Everyone is happy to be there and that energy flows through a room of like-minded but thoroughly diverse people."

"Upon arriving, we got greeted by a very friendly and professional employee. He asked us what time was our reservation and kindly showed us where we would be sitting. Also, he mentioned that we would be sharing the sofa with other guests which was good to know. The music was phenomenal and we really enjoyed the different audience members joining the band and contributing their talent."
