Visited from out of town and wanted to visit a jazz supper club. Smoke did not disappoint! We ended up with late show tickets so we arrived early to have dinner. I am pescatarian and they had several options. I ended up with salmon which was delicious! They have a great selection of cocktails and wine as well. They offer outdoor seating and were showing the World Cup which was great. The space is sexy and the staff is very attentive and kind. The music venue is intimate and every seat is a great seat! We were seated next to the drummer which was quite the experience. The Emmet Cohen Trio was great! Overall it was a fabulous experience and I highly recommend visiting. I know I’ll be back when I’m in town again!
The music is good here. However, the entrée minimum makes little sense when guests may already be spending an equivalent amount on appetizers, desserts, and drinks. My husband ordered the New York strip steak ($68) with a side of fries, and we both ordered drinks. I wanted to order an appetizer and dessert, but I was told that I was required to purchase an entrée.
To make matters worse, the entrée I ordered—the “roasted” vegetable terrine—arrived cold. Our water glasses were also not refilled until the very end of the show, despite our final bill exceeding $150.
Most frustratingly, the entrée requirement is not clearly disclosed when purchasing tickets; it appears only in the confirmation email after the purchase has already been made. The performance was good, but the dining policy and service made the overall experience extremely disappointing. Left hungry. Stupid rule.
Smoke Jazz Club in Manhattan is a whole mood. 🎷✨ The energy is laid-back and classy—more “hidden lounge” than loud nightclub—and the vibe feels like you stumbled into something special.
The band was smooth as silk. The saxophone had this rich, warm tone, and the piano and drums kept everything flowing effortlessly—chilled sounds all night without ever feeling boring. Just good music you can really sink into.
The drinks matched the experience too: well-crafted, balanced, and straight-up on point. Plus the staff were genuinely attentive, checking in at the right times and making sure everything ran smoothly.
Overall, it’s that low-key, members-only style spot where you can relax, enjoy the music, and feel like you’re part of the moment. Definitely worth going.
Was a nice cozy and warm, welcoming was fantastic. Seating was quick. Food was excellent.
However, table are very tiny seating are very tight. Music was nice was expecting more. No one singing just playing on instrument player was professional not up to my test.
It’s a small club, so you really get to feel the intensity up close.
Before and after the show, you can interact with the musicians in the lounge.
The food is excellent.
