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.

To be fair the drinks in this place are slightly lower than average..
but the food.
I ordered 'Amy's favourite,' olives and hummus with pitta bread to share with a friend, the olives we're awful with one being mouldy and all of them clearly out of a tin. The hummus was lumpy and dry. I am not usually one to complain at mediocre food but Jazz After Dark was not even that level. 'Amy's favourite' consisted of meatballs, fries, chicken wings and fried chicken, the meatballs again tasted like they were from a tin, certainly not fresh. The chicken was awful and tasted old, I have honestly eaten better chicken in £1 chicken shops.
The younger members of staff were very pleasant, but the older members we're rude and did not take my complaint about the food seriously and charged us full price.
Seriously awful food, the worst experience i've had in three years of living in London.

Tried to get me to go back to Jazz after dark but I said nooo nooo no. Literally one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in London. Having ordered 'Amy's favorite' I now fully understand Amy Winehouse's dramatic weight loss. The food was inedible and felt like it had been cooked three years ago. After complaining we received a rude response and were charged full price. Don't even get me started on the traced canvas paintings of Amy Winehouse that clutter the hell hole.

Avoid at all costs!

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.
