A jazz club of the old school with few pretensions. It's a low-lit and laid-back spot, where a young, after work crowd enjoys a mixture of jazz, blues, funk and soul. The party menu is good value for money, or choose from the burgers, burritos, pasta or steak dishes. A tacky cocktail list (anyone for a Kick in the Balls, or Slippery Nipple?) is clearly aimed at hen and stag groups.
Sorry, booking is not available at the moment.

Facilities
Tables outdoors ( 2, pavement ), Booking essential ( Fri, Sat ), Dress ( smart casual )Completely over priced. £10 to get in and the music was absolutely terrible. They call themselves a jazz club but they sounded like the bands you hear in a school concert. The bouncer justified the £10 entry (normally £15) by saying "its live music" but hearing live music played badly is one of the worst things a person can experience.
Considering Ronnie Scotts also charge £10 for late night entry, and its right around the corner, Jazz afer Dark is the rip off of the century. (I would have gone to Ronnie's but it was full) Should have spent the £10 on a record, would have been much better value for money
Claustrophobic place with really bad food & the owner who has an over inflated ego. Really awful evening. Would not recommend & a waste of money.
I enjoyed my evening ... But i do think that is more to do with the company i was in rather than the place itself ...,
I enjoyed the band but the place could do with a re-vamp of some sort !!! even the seats are running out of padding and it is is very cramped inside.
would i go there again ?? i would probably try somewhere else if i am honest
I went to "Jazz after Dark" last night and it was a huge disappointment. It's more like a greasy spoon than a jazz club and the food is laughable. Literally. The table of French tourists sitting next to us burst out laughing at the abysmal quality of the food. I complained to the manager at the quality of our "Spanish tapas" - think Iceland frozen rubbish for £1 reheated and sold for £4.50 - and Spanish mix grill (think a burnt plate of bones available at £11). To her credit she knocked £9 off the bill and offered us a complimentary bottle of wine. Also, the service and music were actually very good. But if you want to go here, my tip is do NOT eat the food! (p.s. And don't even get me started on the "art" hanging on the wall by Sam....staring into the visages of Paul McCartney, Pete Docherty and Amy Winehouse etc actually put me off my food even more.
