"So excited to come and experience this famous NYC jazz club. It is everything it advertises itself to be: classic music, classic atmosphere, iconic history, and a can’t miss jazz club if you are trying to find the best NYC has to offer. There are 4-5 others I would put up there with Village Vanguard, but then again, there are ZERO jazz clubs in the world that I know of that come close to NYC’s top 5. Kind of mind-blowing that there is such a concentration of the best jazz in the world. But that’s why I come."

"We had tickets to the 10 PM Monday show and were able to get inside around 9:30-9:45. You are required to buy one drink per ticket. Overall, the show was enjoyable but very crammed inside. For true lovers of jazz, this is a great place to come. If you are looking for a less formal/sociable atmosphere, this may not be the place to come. The musicians were phenomenal and we are glad we came but I likely wouldn’t go back."

"Maybe the most famous jazz bar in the world. This is all about the music. The very best artist play here,typically for a six night stand. On Monday nights is the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. The band is made up of working musicians, many of them all stars themselves, who come together to play big band music on Monday nights. No food. Basic drinks at a fair nyc price. Service is polite and relatively speedy."

"Village Vanguard was an amazing experience. It’s one of the best jazz clubs in NYC for a reason. The vibe was intimate and the music was top-notch. Felt like a real piece of New York culture in Greenwich Village. Totally recommend it."

"To me The Village Vanguard is the best jazz club of the world and the times I visited I was so excited because of the history, the acoustics and the atmosphere. It’s about jazz music only at the VV. No food is served and that is totally fine. Coltrane, Rollins, Bill Evans were here and recorded some of their best albums. A place to treasure and love and to come to over and over again. Must visit for everyone into jazz. Love this place!"
