Have heard and seen both Duke Robillard and Roomful of Blues here, and both experiences were great fun. The space is intimate, packed with tables so you can order food and/or drinks. The acoustics were good, as were the drinks (at okay midtown prices). Looking forward to the next concert!
Great place to see live jazz. Clean airy and non claustrophobic like the blue note which is way too dense. At iridium you dont have to actually touch the three people around you. Or have their earwax fall in your drink. I dont buy stinky food when in a crowded club but the food I did order was great and presented nicely. I've been here dozens of times. It always amazes me how many people just walk in as tourists, not even knowing the performer. Its like they have no idea who they are seeing, but it's just a few people. Depending on the performer, most of the audience buys tickets in advance, knows exactly who they are seeing and they are not disappointed. Check out their website, give them your email and you'll find something wonderful.
A very hidden place, where you go into a basement but with a spectacular atmosphere. Where there is a different performance every day. We went without tickets but the staff were impeccable and found us a good table. The show itself was breathtaking with a fantastic singer. As for the food, the dishes were very well prepared and the portions were large. We didn't go hungry. The drinks are also good. And I couldn't forget to mention the friendliness and quick service of all the staff. I highly recommend it and will be back.
Loved it, small venue, great music, Great service strong drinks
An intimate and modest venue to see some amazing and brilliant music stars! I went to see Eric Krasno Trio and loved the sound quality and performance. The food menu may not be quite vegetarian friendly, but there are some good options for drinks. I wish the seating arrangement was different and was not perpendicular to the stage; hard on your neck if you're on a wrong angle. Plus, you'll be almost hugging the person sitting beside you as the tables are extremely narrow.
