Oliver CeballosJanuary 6, 2013Awesome place to enjoy a nice meal while watching a live Jazz concert. I recommend to make a reservation and getting there 30 minutes before showtime to get a nice table. Great place for a date.
Go for the talent and ambiance at this legendary jazz venue. There's a variety of performers all year long, multiple acts per day, and a main dining room as well as a more intimate theatre-like venue

Laura JonesOctober 25, 2017Come here for the jazz, but eat elsewhere. Got a great front row seat by arriving before it opened. Great atmosphere! $10 minimum per person / per set.
Adolfo ValdésJune 15, 2014Being one of the sacred temples of jazz at the NY mecca it's hard to be harsch on them. It's nice and tidy, flow of things is a bit uptight for a music club that had its peak in the bee-bop era.
Gsus S.S.December 22, 2019Excellent show. Huge space for concerts... maybe not near to the typical small and intimate jazz venues but the atmosphere was incredible!
- Rafael Kellermann StreitDecember 31, 2017Super nice place with live Jazz show. Recommend if you like a good food and Jazz.
Great views from any table, including the back wall. I love the pecan-crusted chicken salad with blue cheese and apples over greens and their cream cheese-frosted carrot cake with caramel drizzle.
BETFebruary 1, 2013One of the oldest and most noteworthy Jazz clubs in NY. In honor of Black History, see these excellent examples of African-Americans' accomplishments in Music: http://bet.us/BHM
CompassApril 25, 2014Named for bebop originator Charlie “Bird” Parker, this white-linened supper club and music venue pairs an award-winning house band and rotating list of top live acts with upscale comfort fare.
Njoud FahadDecember 1, 2018A must visit anytime you are in the city, food is delicious and staff are helpful and nice , minimum of 10$ per person- CompassMay 15, 2014Birdland has served dinner and jazz since the 1960s and still draws some of the best talent in the city.
Angela MauroDecember 21, 2016Great venue for jazz - get there early to get a good seat...blackened catfish, jambalaya and Chris the bartender were great!
Kevin VaughnAugust 11, 2014I love this place. Intimate, well managed and the food is great. A favorite place of mine for a special night out!
A.D. RevelsFebruary 7, 2015Fantastic music. $10 min per person. Great gumbo and po' boys. The collard greens are good for up north.
Megan LowranceFebruary 26You do not have to like jazz to appreciate this experience with your Mama the night before your birthday. This is amazing.
Sarah ColvinApril 30, 2012When you're in the mood for Old School, this is the spot. Great stage. Pretty good room. Ask for seating left of center. Book Ahead.
Cady MillerMarch 19, 2019You never know who you’ll run into here! Cozy atmosphere with nice servers and good people.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 17, 2010One of the best places to enjoy live music enjoy Cajun food in the city. There is a $10 food/drink minimum per person.
Maritza SpitlerSeptember 28, 2014feels like home. The food is spectacular too! Must have the veggie dish.- Duncan SchiebDecember 28, 2011Tommy Igoe is a genius on the drums . A very talented group of musicians. Definitely a must see in NYC every Friday.
You’ve experienced the jazz club, now you should experience the bird land theater downstairs. Great space.
Michael ZhongDecember 17, 2013The fried calamari is delicious. Fried just right with plenty of stuff inside.
John M.July 13, 2018The new basement cabaret space (forced by stripper bar laws to be called a "theatre") is quite nice.
anzu KanetaDecember 26, 2012Be prepared to wait outside even if you reserve. Freddie Cole was a legend! Food is good for a jazz club...
Brian LeeFebruary 20, 2012The coffee is $12... So I'm thinking you should pass on that. also, ordered the Mac and cheese, very small for 16 - it's more like a side
Joe PageDecember 9, 2012Phil woods was on a resperator but they still kicked ass. Steak was tasty but the yard bird suite was tooo sweet
Angelina GabrielliJuly 25, 2013keep in mind the $6 soft drinks when you're trying to meet your $10 minimum.
- Matthew Alexander BoatenJanuary 18, 2014Hanging w/ Lauren Kinhan and Brian D'Arcy James @ Lauren Kinhan LIVE @ Birdland "Circle In A Square" album release celebration!
Cathy LewisJuly 9, 2012The gumbo while still tasty. Has celery instead of okra! Not really 'authentic'.
Don't ever miss a Monday here! You never know when Marilyn Maye, Larry Gatlin, Clint Holmes, Billy Porter or countless other legends will show up to tear the roof off the place!
Suggest the fruit and cheese plate - much more comfortable than that other jazz club that starts with a "B"
general admission area (to the left) often puts you behind the pianist; love the poached pear dessert
