Typically, the weekly featured artist plays Thursdays through Sundays with a separate artist booked on Wednesday nights. It was founded on April 9, 1999, by Paul Stache and Frank Christopher, who, as partners, conceived, designed, and spearheaded its interior renovation. Seating in the Listening Room begins at 5pm, with sets at 7pm and 9pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and a 10:30pm set is added on Fridays and Saturdays. Smoke Jazz SupperClub Lounge is an influential jazz club based in New York City on the Upper West Side, a few blocks south of Columbia University. The lounge is open 5pm to midnight Wednesday through Sunday. (Tiramisu for dessert, anyone?) There’s also a good chance that one of the musicians may stop at the bar to schmooze with fans and friends between sets.įor now, Smoke is closed Monday and Tuesday. Located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side at the junction of Broadway and 106th Street (aka Duke Ellington Boulevard), the club offers classic and modern jazz performances. Patrons who arrive early or between sets can hang out at the bar until their tables are ready, and the bar remains open during sets for those who want to enjoy a drink or order from the small but well-curated menu, with appetizers such as autumn kale salad or jumbo shrimp cocktail, and entrées that include a perfectly cooked Faroe Island salmon and flavorful braised short ribs. The Smoke Jazz Club, one of New York City’s premier live music venues, announced its long-awaited reopening. The Listening Room is actually in the building next door, separated from the lounge by a thick structural wall that nonetheless has a generous opening, allowing patrons to move easily between the spaces the wall shields performers and clubgoers from intrusive bar sounds and conversation. The bathroom, which guests formerly had to muscle to get to between bar patrons and the tables, is also where it was, but now there’s plenty of room to reach it or the new ADA-compliant bathroom built as part of the expansion.
The long wooden bar is also exactly where it has been for decades (including in Smoke’s predecessor, a jazz club/dive bar called Augie’s). The lounge area is where the old jazz room used to be, but now without a stage and with plenty of room to move about.
