Traveler reviews
Javier Aviles Chico
★★★★★3 years agoThis place is a Hamburger music pearl. The jazz club in Hamburg has a long tradition in hosting high quality jazz happenings all week long. The atmosphere is great, the drinks too and the service too. Much recommend as well for those musicians who want to get up in stage for jam sessions. Very recommended
Yeasir Zaman

If you are a jazz lover then this place is for you. It has a vibe, mood, experience, environment what helps to calm down, and enjoy the beauty of music. Definitely recommended, but try reaching early cause this place gets really full.
