Nice place for jazz concerts. They open only for concerts and are offering drinks including Belgian beers, wine and some cocktails. You can get some small snacks alongside your drinks there as well.

Great music and simple jazz atmosphere found in ever so many good cities... felt right at home even though I was travelling on my own... can get taxi to the door and although the street looks deserted, go through the arch to find the unique club. Thanks StP

Lovely place, great atmosphere, going here is a perfect way to spend your evening. The music was great and the staff was nice. Just one thing could be done better: don’t bring the bill while the band is still playing, it is nice to have one drink afterwards still, and it is also nice to not have to think about the bill while enjoying the music. Great place!

Very good place with humble jazzy surroundings and nice music. Got myself a gin and tonic and had a well mannered conversation with the sound guy. So basically it’s a perfect spot to merge a lonely heart into it.

Jazz at it should be. Guests are usually familiar with jazz and behave accordingly. Good staff, but the menu is somewhat limited and service standards are below average.5 stars for music, 2 stars for everything else. 5 stars in total nevertheless, because I love the place.

Wonderful place with live music, great performers every night. Cute helpful girls waitresses. Bar: cocktails 300-600 rubles, bottled beer 0.33 for 300 rubles, wine from 1200 rubles per bottle / 250 rubles a glass. Very scarce with a snack, no food at all, nuts / chips 200-300 rubles. The lack of a slightly larger assortment of snacks is the only negative.

If you love jazz, I recommend visiting the JFC Jazz Club, within walking distance from metro Chernyshevskaya. A glass of wine and music will dissolve you in vivid emotions of visual pleasure. You are alone or alone, or in the company time will pass quickly to the sound of the saxophone. Have fun and leave in your memory vivid impressions of visiting JFC Jazz ♥

Authentic place with intimate atmosphere. The institution intrigues already from the yard with its windows with old tubes attached to them. You cant walk around inside, but this is not required, everything is here for the sake of the creativity of jazz musicians.

Review №39

For music - 5 *! But with the service, not everything is smooth. The drinks menu is meager, some positions were even on the stop. The waitress is alone, but she needs to be caught (not trained). There is no terminal, payment is only in cash or by transfer (and if I dont have, only a credit card, then what?) - Im so uncomfortable, they dont warn me about this at the entrance. There are enough minus. I went to a specific performer and this is the only way to come here. There is simply no need to suddenly come in. Only for the music.

Review №41

One of the oldest jazz clubs in the city, if not the oldest. An excellent alternative to the Jazz Philharmonic. And the atmosphere is more democratic. I have been coming here regularly since about 2005. Sound quality is normal. Concerts are regularly held with the involvement of nonresident and foreign jazz stars. The only caveat is a very funny short menu. Only recently have some cocktails and interesting drinks appeared, and so the menu in small print on the cover for CDs is nice, but somehow not enough.

Review №45

A cult place for lovers of true St. Petersburg jazz. A small club in the metro area Chernyshevskaya. Unrealistically charges with musical energy for a long time, by the end of concerts the buzz goes off scale and remains inside. The sound is good, the music is diverse, the swing atmosphere. Tickets are inexpensive, you can take for 800 p. At the bar. Among the shortcomings: an expensive bar that does not differ in variety, 300 ml of beer costs 300, a bottle of cheap champagne 1200. But this is not the main thing: here you can listen to both famous and young teams. The distance between musicians and listeners is minimal and correct. Now the annual guitar festival is taking place. There are childrens concerts on weekends. Sometimes you can get on the stars, sometimes listen to very young and talented. Go boldly, even if you do not understand jazz, they will infect you)) and a good mood will be with you! We go there for 20 years and every time we hear something new in the old interior. Thanks to JFC for wonderful concerts, only the bar menu should be made more democratic and diverse. And so GOOD LUCK and SUCCESS to musicians, employees, owners and especially the sound engineer)) !!

Place of power. The oldest jazz club in St. Petersburg. One of the pillars of jazz in Russia. Slightly shabby furniture and a 90s TV on the wall give it the perfect ambiance. The most intelligent audience. A must to visit.

Perhaps it has a capacity of about 50, and there are many standings.In the former Soviet Union, JAZZ seems to have been banned because it is a harmful culture in the United States.It is said to be quite popular now.Tonight is a trio of piano, contrabass and drums.I dont usually listen to JAZZ, but when I listen to live music like thisQuite good! Pretty good !! Pretty good !!!!By the way, the owner of the JAZZ club was riding a Chevrolet American car ☆

Often visited this place, the most pleasant experience.However, you need to understand that this is not a super fashionable restaurant with dishes from the best chefs in the world. First of all, it is a jazz club.Yes, he is small and cramped.Yes, the choice of spirits in the bar is limited and will not satisfy some kind of excessive requirements. However, it is always warm and sincere here, and this place has always been a gift and, I hope, it will once again give a good mood and great music.

Very old club, 25 years old. Founded in 1994, the sound is wonderful, jazz was also at its best, the only negative is nothing., Nuts and sausages. But the club is not big, so you should come here already full and enjoy great music over a glass of wine (beer).

Favorite place. For connoisseurs of jazz, this is a must see in St. Petersburg. Reasonable prices and atmosphere of the hall. The hall is small, the seating is dense, small tables just for a drink. Artists on the insistence of an outstretched hand from the first row, which creates the feeling of a home.

Review №85

The first time was here a few years ago. Today, with great difficulty (since I work mostly almost seven days a week until late, and I also have a little child in my arms who stayed with my grandparents) and my wife got out to go to a jazz concert (and I, and especially my wife, love this trend in music). As a result, the impression of this institution and the whole evening were spoiled. At the entrance, no one met us, we entered the hall, where there was a group of 15 people, from which there was a cry in the spirit of no one should be allowed to come to us, after which a man in dark clothes came out to us (either the administrator or I had a security guard) and said that, allegedly, “today the sold-out and tickets are all sold out” (despite the fact that all the tickets are clean for entry, without a seat, and the hall was almost empty). If this is some kind of closed party, then at least warn about it in advance in the media, and do not post a poster about the concert in the networks, as public! Probably, this hall is super-visited, and there is no sense for the administration to fight for each visitor ... After such a boorish attitude, there is no desire to come here again to the concert!

Review №87

A great place for true jazz lovers. A diverse repertoire, almost daily concerts, an intelligent audience. The club is not very easy to find (the entrance is deep in the courtyard, from Shpalernaya, the school is a reference point), but it is worth it to get to it. Tickets are better to buy in advance. Inside there are places at tables (more expensive) or you can just buy an entrance. There is not much space, but everything is visible. If you arrive late, you can, having bought an entrance ticket, take a position on the bar stool behind the counter, which is even more convenient than a table. The bar has a standard set of drinks, also tea and coffee, no kitchen, payment in cash or by transfer to a sber card. No smoking anywhere. There is a wardrobe. The only thing I didn’t like was the toilet: it was only 1, very small, with poor sound insulation.

Review №89

Perfect place. Everything was pleasant, very cozy, sometimes you feel yourself in someones kitchen. But it even perfectly helps to join the music, if you are not a true connoisseur yet. Most people were connoisseurs and regular guests. But the small size of the hall creates difficulties in moving between tables during the concert. So try to do all your things before or during the break between performances. Break, I realized one, one hour after the start. We were on the 23rd of February. Yevgeny Strigalev spoke. I did not when I did not think that on the Saxophone you can so much - cool. The only negative, expensive strong alcohol whiskey is the cheapest 250 for 40 ml. All alcoholic cocktails by 400rub. Beer 300 for 0.33. Beer imported good.

Nice place. Benevolently.Two points were embarrassing - the situation was too shabby, although, probably, this is a certain style of the organizers. At the entrance I met a manager, from whom hospitably he poured alcohol.But this did not affect the atmosphere. Everything is more than good.

Very cool, atmospheric place with good live music. The room is small and cozy, the acoustics are chic, the proximity to the musicians is impressive. And Chizhik was right good :)In the minuses: lack of parking at the institution itself; expensive bar and the choice is very meager; there is nothing to eat except snacks; tables and chairs are very small and not too comfortable; there are a lot of unknown musicians, it’s sometimes difficult to understand whether or not to go to them, fortunately they try to put two groups in one evening to smooth out the impression.

We bought 2 tickets, upon arrival at the institution we could not sit down, as there was no place in the hall at all. Of course, our chairs stood, but where to put the rest of the body is not clear. Both came and went. Why sell a ticket if there is not enough physical space in the hall ???

Music is always excellent! There are places depending on the acting teams - once a lot, once a little. Usually there is where to sit, it is better to come to 19:15. The bar is small, especially no snacks. Coffee, wine and mulled wine. Since there are a few places from everywhere perfectly audible and visible.
