JZ Club

Top choice in Hangzhou


The folk that brought you JZ Club in Shanghai have the live jazz scene sewn up in Hangzhou with this neat three-floor venue in a historic building near West Lake. There are three live jazz sets nightly, with music kicking off at 9.15pm (until 12.30am). There's no admission charge, but you’ll need to reserve a seat on Friday and Saturday.

Smokers get to go upstairs.
