    Cool cozy jazz bar also offer food. Very fully booked if you look online (think that’s for food only) but we walk in and they let us in to enjoy the music. Friday night a lot more people came in later after 9:30pm. Friendly vibe and should give it a try!

    Great artists. I enjoyed the show. However, the venue doesn't value solo guests who took the time to reserve for dinner and a show.The staff obviously messed up the reservation and instead of simply owning it by admitting their mistake ( it took them 5 minutes to find me a place... but guests and non-reservation patrons who came after me were sat (at great seats facing the stage) before... and at least three subsequent ones on a specific table left shortly after looking at the menu ), I was sat at a table with my back to the stage and facing other patrons. Sharing a table is not a problem. However, the classy thing would have been to be seated facing the stage (Common sense that I do not want a tete-a-tete with strangers in their own dates whilst eating mussels and vice versa). When I made the remark, I was told that I could hear the music with my ears whilst eating ( facing strangers) and that I just needed to inconvenience myself by twisting (whilst eating). I was starving, but this type of welcome has ruined my appetite to only ordering a main plate. Quite interesting is that I saw this table having various non-dining patrons the entire evening. Not once I was offered to move. In retrospect, the aforementioned free table they refused to give me so to please other non-reservation guests (who ended up either not staying or seating solo themselves for a simple beer) could have been used by me. Whilst the staff tried to serve me with smiles as to dismiss this bad episode- with no apologies-, they were not the most attentive once the meal was ordered. Very strange experience for a solo Black woman still new to town and visiting...a Jazz venue. I would recommend the place only for a spontaneous visit for music and drink ( like I did my first time) and not to bother going solo for a dinner reservation....they will probably ignore it anyways if it suits them.

    Very compact cafe and difficult to turn chairs round to see band. Quite hot later on. Food excellent but slow service due to lack of staff. Guy who served us was very pleasant. Band good but only knew one song.

    Very small run down jazz venue with about 20 seats. Beware if you are attending during the summer months there is NO airconditioning so it is very hot and stuffy. Drinks were good and french bistro fare was servicable. I would recommend skipping the food. Great local jazz music. Stop at the ATM because the music fee is 50 sek per person per set - cash ONLY. A pretty good deal to hear 40 minutes of jazz for the equivalent of $11.25 USD. (You can pay for drinks and food with Mastercard or Visa.

    Need to give it another try, as I think the atmosphere is great. Service was not great though, slow and quite dry ... could have been just one of those November days, will go back!

    Small and cozy jazz restaurant/bar in central Stockholm with superb interior decor and ambiance which brings the thoughts to New York. Good food (can recommend the entrecote!) and pleasant service staff. Unfortunately service is very slow (we waited for our entrees for one hour) and it is very, very cramped with absolutely zero COVID safety mentality. While the place has the potential to be five stars, the overly crowdedness brings it down to 3. Still worth a visit!

    Bring cash or have Swish to pay the artists (recommended 70 SEK). Arrived Thu around 22 to hear the last song of the evening. Good music, good drinks.

    Delicious mussels and so many different flavours to choose from! The Provonçale is really good and so is the Chilli with a kick as it should have. Great place to enjoy live jazz music. Quite small and intimate and a bit of squeeze but it only adds to the atmosphere.

    This place came with good food, great service and musicians that excelled in their music. Such a wonderful place to visit. The only minus is that the place is tiny and you have little room around you when sitting and eating. But it should be said that it also gives the place its cosy, intimit feeling.

    It was the worst time ever, will never return back. People on the top of eachother this has never happened before, we reserved before one month and still we get the worst table never had a chance to relax and they kept people get in as before they used to say sorry we can not extra. So for me never return back!

    Great atmosphere and service. Spent two fantastic evenings there on my short trip to Stockholm. If you are a jazz fan, a must visit.

  • 4/5 Massimo Di L. 3 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    Nice place, good food and music. Everything nice except that it is not clear during the reservation that in addition to the food you have to pay the music for each set is played. People that go there go for the music so the Cost should be included in that of the food

    I visited the café twice: May 12 and May 15. The jazz on those dates was excellent. The ambience is superb for a relaxed and comfortable evening of jazz. The cover price is reasonable. Two excellent evenings of music and a beer.

  • 4/5 Linus L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and food. The only downside was that you weren't allowed to talk when there was live music playing.

  • 5/5 Brenda T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely intimate atmosphere, loved the live jazz band, reasonable price for g&t and fries!

    Small bar decorated with photos of famous jazz musicians and instruments. Good live jazz music, but only until 23:00.

    Disclaimer! Never eaten here. Just been visiting when I have the feeling for beer and some live jazz. Really a great place with great guests

  • 5/5 Robert H. 2 years ago on Google
    The best live music I've had in over 10 years (25 Nov 2022). Food (clams) exquisite. Pricing (for music) pretty much what ever you feel like. I spent much more than I expected simply because it was honestly deserved. 10/10 will go again!
