Dalston Jazz - Menu

This is one of the best and most unique places I have visited in London. If you enjoy trying new things, then this is the place for you. It may not be to everyone's taste, but it is truly amazing! The food and music here are top-notch.

Fantastic resident band. the live music is quality. The food is great but don't expect your regular restaurant experience. Here It is plat du jour only, usually one fish and one meat option. Never been disappointed. Same for the wine, you just choose the colour. The staff can sometimes be a little overworked and borderline rude, having to deal with a rough environment in the neighborhood and a demanding chef. It is never the less a must do in London.

We popped in here on the off chance last night. As soon as we'd ordered our beers the DJ who is also the chef cut the music, picked up the microphone and began to aggressively publicly insult a woman that had danced a bit too close to his equipment. From what we saw, it seemed a gross over reaction on his part but regardless of her behaviour it was a particularly unpleasant offensive that left our £7 beers tasting sour. As for the music? More school disco than Jazz. View menu

similar to the dj music set list that follows, they never know what they get and it is useless to try to order. exotic meals are the main course: we had bison, kangarous and krokodil. it is more of an experience than a meal, as it is probably the first time that they have zebra or hai. the place is very unique and reflects dj chef who possesses the connection and cooks how he feels, both his life history and past experiences (the faithful lived in all Europe already try to stay for the after dinner party. dj koch is an icon of dalston.

I had been worried by some of the reviews but my son had been before and knew how good the Dalston Jazz Bar is. The place is unique. If you want a quiet, intimate dinner, with starched linen tablecloths, a varied menu, extensive wine list, immaculate waiters pouring your wine etc DON'T GO. And if you do, don't write a bad review. It is on the shabby side of shabby chic and the music is loud but the seafood is fantastic and plentiful, the band is excellent and yes, it is a small space but there is outside seating. The wine is fine and very reasonably priced. The price for the food is left to the diners as it should include gratuities for the band and staff. Of course there is a minimum amount...

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant last night. It was my birthday and my friend and I went to a Jazz bar in Dalston after being told the drinks were half price. However, when we arrived, they did not have the whiskey or rose that I wanted to drink. The staff member was apologetic and made me a cocktail instead. As the night went on, we were charged full price for our drinks despite being promised a free first drink and half price for the rest. When I spoke to the staff about this, they corrected the bill. However, the owner of the bar then screamed at the staff member in the kitchen and banned him from serving us. The owner was rude and disrespectful to both staff and customers,... View menu

If you go to this place with high expectations, you will be disappointed because it’s not what anyone would expect and they play by their own rules. (sidenote: We haven’t eaten here yet as we got in a little late last time we went. However the food looks and smells absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to book in) After some brilliant Jazz, everything goes full speed and they take the tables away to make space for a dance floor. If you think you’ll keep the table just cos you’re sat there that’s not how it works. The music is varied dependent on the crowd. The first time we went it’s was quite reggae heavy and last night was completely different. The DJ does not accept requests so don’t eve...

The place is very run down, the table cloths are creased, the glasses on the table are different sizes and smell bad, you order a bottle of merlot for £25 and pay for the bottle and they come to the table with a house bottle of red and tell you that's all they have...the wine is very cheap tasting..you've paid £25 for this..the food was not bad tbh..you pay £15 for a platter which serves 2 people and then anything you pay on top is called a donation so we paid £15 extra as that's fair enough but we did get totaly ripped off with the wine..the guys playing the jazz music were pretty good TBF..the ladies toilet does not have a lock so best to take a friend with you to watch the door..overall w...

I would recommend that everyone eat at Dalston Jazz bar for the simple reason that every terrible restaurant you visit throughout the rest of your life will seem better by comparison. We walked in and were confronted with a decor that was presumably aiming for shabby chic but had instead landed squarely on skanky tetanus. We took a table at the back after being told that the one free at the front was reserved. Fair enough. We then splashed out the eminently reasonable price of £32 for 2 pints, a single vodka and (flat) coke and a cosmopolitan so sweet I can only assume they got the cranberry juice mixed up with the Vimto. For some reason all drinks had to be paid for immediately rather than... View menu
