Blues, Jazz entertainment in Hungary

  1. A

    Nothin’ But the Blues

    The oldest blues venue in town, NBB has been wailing for more than 15 years now. The name may be accurate Thursday to Saturday from 8pm when there’s always a live strummer or some such but acts vary the rest of the week. Jamming is on Sunday afternoon and open mike on Monday night. Grab the in-house ‘beer guitar’ and give it a go.

    Jazz Garden Music Club

    A sophisticated venue with traditional, vocal and Latin jazz, and odd decor: a faux cellar ‘garden’ with street lamps and a night ‘sky’ bedecked with blinking stars. Book a table (starters 1680Ft to 2650Ft, mains 2680Ft to 4180Ft) in the dining room; music starts at 9.30pm and finishes at 12.30am.

    Satchmo

    As its subtitle 'Amerikai Kreol Jazztaurant ' would suggest, this club-restaurant with big windows just round the corner from Szabadság tér serves up 'American' Creole cuisine (lots of spices, shellfish and 'blackened' things) and live jazz music courtesy of Mr Louis Armstrong from Thursday to Saturday nights.

    Columbus Jazzklub

    On a boat moored in the Danube just off the northern end of V Vigadó tér, this club has transformed itself from ‘just another Irish pub’ to a jazz club of note, with big-name local and international bands. Music starts at 8pm.

  5. Babalu Restaurant and Music Club

    With its cane chairs and tropical plants, Babalu exudes a safari feel and attracts a more mature crowd. It's also one of the better spots to catch some live jazz.
