Awesome live jazz club near Times Square with an expansive food menu! Tables are stadium style with each row a bit higher than the one below it. More spacious and less crammed than Blue Note and other downtown clubs. Show lasted only an hour - wish it had been a bit longer for a price of $40 ticket and $20 minimum.
Spent Christmas evening with Birdland Jazz and the remarkable talent of Champian and her trio-now quartet! A truly remarkable experience and amazing way to celebrate Christmas. The music, the amazing musicians, Champian’s voice-Classic, brilliant, amazing. The service was bleh-I got stuck with a horrible server-she was overwhelmed and not very good at her job-the table beside me had the best server-she was so polite and happy to be there-very much contrast to my server. The show was moved from 8:30 to 9:30 then it didnt start until 9:50-a little disappointing and drawn out-but the show was worth the wait.
We had a fantastic time at this jazz club! The live music was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was electric. The talented musicians created an unforgettable experience, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Whether you're a jazz enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out, this club is a must-visit.
Our experience there was wonderful. The band was everything we could have hoped for in a 16 piece big band. The guest singer was awesome as well. We were there for the early seating last Friday, Sept. 8 and the band performing was the "Birdland Big Band." Our food was also very good. Had the Penne, Risotto with some added Shrimp and drinks. Staff was very attentive. One problem we did have was taken care after a few phone calls and couple of days. Our orders and credit cards were switched with another patron's. Very dark in there and we were being hurried to pay because staff was getting ready for the next show. It all got resolved in the end.
Went to see The Django Reinhardt festival. Ken Peplowski was there. We Had good seats paid extra definitely worth it. The Drinks Food and Service were top notch. It was worth every penny if you like Jazz-Birdland is the club in NYC
Great performance of The Hot Sardines with Elizabeth Bougerol at Birdland. Mostly 1920's jazz songs that sounded new again, some original songs, great tap dancer. We truly enjoyed it.
Food and drinks -fried calamari were tasty. I personally did not like their Mojitos, too much lime, and too little rum 😆. Better off with the wine or beer. However we came for the music and we left very happy!
Big band jazz sound. $40 ticket price seams a little steep, but I guess they got a lot of people to feed out of it. Band sounded great , would love to go back next time I’m in the city
Great place to enjoy entertainment we went on open mic night, which felt like more talking with artists advertising their relevant shows and upcoming appearances. But overall a lovely evening. My wife had a bottle of Prosecco $55 and I had bottle of Corona all night, my wife did order a warm goats cheese salad, that was very under par and certainly wasn’t worth $21

This is a classic place to listen to great jazz in NYC.
Food is just an additional to enjoy great performance always.
Wines are very simple, but let you enjoy the soul of this place.
Congratulations to the musicians, and this is always a fantastic recommendation to visit.
BTW. Amazing good price.

We had a good experience at Birdland, watching Ron Carter’s gold striker trio. The performance was good albeit a little bit short in duration. The food was great and so was the service. Arrive early so you get good seats close to the performers - we came at around 19:55 (doors opened at 19:30) and we did not get good seats.
