Great acoustics! Sounds really good. Friendly and helpful staff. Beer was great. We had so much fun. More concerts please.

This is a great small club style venue which is perfect for watching live music.The stage and seating is downstairs, and is a dinner and show type deal typically. The sound is fabulous here! Its not too loud, and there is not really a bad seat in the house.I was lucky enough to see the legendary Les Paul here twice, in 2004 and 2009. They carry on the tradition by featuring first class guitar players an fabulous musicians.The food I must say was excellent!

Excellent experience. Very nice place to disconnect from all the rush outside and enter the wonderful world of jazz. Very good service even if the place was crowded.

Went there with my girl from over seas. The girls were very entertaining. Overall had fun. Food was pretty decent, had some egg over easy breakfast burger. For a straight dude not really knowing anything about drag it was pretty good. The Dominican one and the black one were my favorite. I forgot theyre stage names. It fills up a decent portion of a Sunday. Extra for alcohol and tip was added to bill automatically which is cool because who likes math? The only thing I wasnt a fan of is the blurry pics my girl got with one of the performers cause she was kind of rushing. Overall b+. Also they kinda dogged me and ignored me cause we were late. The city is confusing. Kind of annoying but the show was to make the girl happy and it did so mission accomplished. She said the queens were better than the ones in her country. Ill confirm eventually when I visit peru.

Great atmosphere/food/music. A+++ venue

Great place. Amazing food. Amazing night of Sharon Klein Productions particularly Boys of the Bandstand. They were absolutely amazing had the whole house rocking hope that they are permanent member of the iridium. Great time

Event itself was amazing and I will admit it’s a lovely little venue. But I have literally never and I mean never had such an appalling experience when it came to a simple overcharge on my card. Don’t bother trying to call them. Won’t happen. Maybe an email to say? Doesn’t work. As for the way the Facebook page acts it’s both shocking and laughable. 55 dollars down and I get offered t shirts. That most likely cost very very little. The other offer was 2 tickets to a show which I admit is admirable and were I still there I would have taken them up on the offer.All I want is to get my money back and remember the fact that the actual evening was amazing.The waitress that served us was awesome despite the fact the venue was packed we didn’t have to wait long for anything.It’s a shame I can’t attach images to this review because it’s some good reading.

Great venue, my 2nd time visiting. I listened to an artist named Lindsey Webster. She was awesome.

Great show, easy to wat h. Layout and the size was good. Rockapella show was really entertaining. Great location.

This place is low-key but excellent. The food is delicious, and the tributes to Les Paul and numerous other big names are everywhere. We saw Albert Lee and he rocked the house, easily the best part of our trip.

We had a reservation. We’re notified to arrive earlier the show was moved to 7:30pm from 8pm. We get there to a long line of people who all got same email and we then wait in 27degree weather with no communication at all for 35 minutes and are let in 10 at a time - show started at 8:15! No apologies. No reason. No discount on our tickets or meal/drinks. Service was terrible and drinks watered down and poorly made. Food was fine. Band great. Singers with the exception of two female singer were like karaoke and not in key or even good performers. Would highly recommend not going as it’s also a fire hazard. One entrance and exit on a small narrow staircase and the kitchen is in the basement too. One grease fire away from a disaster!

Such a lovely place if you love live music ️️️

Foods expensive but good small intimate place not a bad seat in the house could even get a seat at the bar with a good view of the stage

Loved the atmosphere! We had a great experience at drag brunch.

The atmosphere, sound, and service! Oh by the way got to hear Ana Popovic and her band. Amazing! If you love blues, rock, and a little funk catch them when theyre near your neighborhood!

Great staff. Good sound system. Small but fun

Great venue, horrible non alcoholic beer, great artists, wait staff friendly. Not a great vegan menu.

Music sounded good but I could barely see anything, I was seated in the back corner facing the wall. I arrived 45min early and still had a bad seat. I turned my chair around and with 4 people seated in front of me and a huge 2ft by 2ft column I could only really see the bass player and drummer at times. I was there to see John Mayall which he was hidden for about 90% of the show because the column.There’s a mandatory $15 minimum fee that you have to spend on food or beverages, that’s about 2 beers at $8 a piece, also they automatically put a 20% tip on your bill regardless of group size. Which is what I normally tip at but it makes it seem sleazy to automatically put it in the bill.Now the chairs, what moron built these chairs? And what moron working there or owners bought theses chairs? Sounds like a odd thing to bring up but I have to. The vertical supports for the backrest are on the inside of the chairs? They should be on the outside or under the backrest, imagine two pool cues between your back and a chairs backrest. After awhile it became very pain full, I was there for about 3hrs and it was ridiculous. I’m submitting two photos one of the view I had and one of the chairs. 8/10/2019It’s been 2 weeks and the pictures still have not loaded 8/31/2019It’s been almost 3mos. And after multiple submissions the photos are still not available? 11/8/2019Nearly 6mos and 4 photo submissions later and still no photos? What a bunch of children afraid of honest feedback! 2/3/2020!

Always will be my favorite place. I come here a lot, especially to see “Alex Skolnick” from the band Testament play here with his jazz band “Alex Skolnick Trio”

The venue is small with a warm and intimate atmosphere. The stage is visible from every table. The food is delicious with generous portions and is reasonably priced. I had a carafe of prosecco and didnt go broke. I dont know about the other beverages. The wait staff was very accommodating.

Had a great time! The host was very Funny!

The band was incredible. The sound system and control was very good.The meet and greet was so poor that we left before we met.Bummer.I would have liked to have met them but not in the hall.Thats not right.

Well actually, it wasnt perfect experience, first of all we had to wait in the street on a cold wind, the girl in the reception sent us to the line outside with a wave of a hand, but as it was our first time here we came out in a shown Direction found the end of the line and stood there, as we came to the door we understood that the line was to another bar on the 1st floor!!! so we waited in vain and hardly caught the beginning of the concert we bought tickets on. we were seated Just in doors. And girl didnt even apologize... here in Moscow in Kozlov club we have comfortable Foye please, not to get cold and sick

Great staff and service!! Really enjoyed my time spent at the club. Hope to make it back again someday. Thank you!

Great little venue to see live music. The music wasn’t too loud which is great, that’s something I often struggle with at venues.Better layout than some other places in NYC too (like cafe wha which has a poor arrangement).

Great venue, great food, great drinks, great entertainment!!!

Saw 2 Peter Noone performances. Excellent! Small, cozy with great food and drinks.

Never been. It was pretty cool to see a fav songwriter. Very intimate. Serves food. Food was tasty, but expect Times Square prices.

I love this place. Its growing on me. A few more old rock/metal musicians (ie: Kip Winger, Corey Glover, Mark Hudson, and surprise audience guests), would bump it to 5 star.

The ambience is great for music lovers. This late legendary Les Paul used to play here weekly. The sound system is not overly loud, even when the performers are playing high energy fusion music. The seating are close to the stage. This is a small club but not crammed. Guitarists would appreciate the many guitars of famous players adorning the walls. Lastly, the food is tasty, though on the expensive side. I would recommend to arrive early and order ones food before the performance start. So that you may better enjoy the food before the show starts. Also to be respectful to the musicians. Theyre not playing background dinner music but a presentation.

Great place to hear live music. Old school. Gritty.

Nice sound, friendly staff. They really pack you in, and some of the seats face away from the stage...I had a crick in my neck not long into the show from twisting around to see.

Love this place. Small & cozy. Came for Glenn Hughes. Great show.

My wife and I , as well as my talented guitarist cousin had the pleasure of seeing Eric Gales this week at the Iridium . Absolutely amazing performance !On top of the great service, and great show ...we had the pleasure or meeting the owner Ron , a true gentleman , who made our experience even better .I cannot say enough about this venue . Do yourself a favor while in Manhattan NYC and visit The Iridium . You will not regret this great experience !

Not a bad seat in the house. Great acoustics. A little tight space wise. All things considered,a great place to enjoy musical performances.

Amazing place, legendary. The ambiance is so real, the music amazing, service was good, friendly, fast. Burgers we very tasty but a bit cold. I don’t like the put gratuity in the bill.

Great place and Great Service also the food is very delicious...

The setting is great and the acts they bring in are the true Representatives if their genre who get to engage closely with their audience.

I love the iridium, very intimate shows, great food and the staff is outstanding , no better place in NYC to go to a concert

Iridium Jazz Club NYC is One of the absolute best places to hear live music in the city and in the entire world. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. The sound is always great. The food is great and the staff is very accommodating. You can see top notch acts there like Alex Skolnick and Stu Hamm!

Drinks are good yet overpriced, but for the location and venue type it is par for the course. Music was great the service was friendly and because it was late night-ish the place was crowded but not packed I would come back again if a show I wanted to see was playing.

Favorite music venue after St. Andrews in Detroit. A close tie for us with Snug Harbor in NOLA. The bar and sound system are good. Adequate menu for a venue of its kind. Overall, a great value with always great artists.

Located in the center of Times Square, The Iridium was once frequented by legendary guitar pioneer Les Paul, who played the club weekly. While the man is gone, his spirit lives on with regular tributes. Today, rock, jazz and blues fans hit up this historic locale to enjoy music – and food – of the highest quality.

Great intimate venue for live music!

Would you like great, live music, and delicious food in an intimate, trendy venue right in the center of New York’s Times Square? Then look no further than this well known Jazz Club, The Iridium. The caliber of entertainment is nothing short of the level of any well known recording artist...Paul Gilbert rocked the house down. Dinner/drinks and a show with tables very close to the stage is a great way to spend an evening. But bring ear plugs if you have a hard time with loud music!

Cozy spot for live jazz smack dab in the middle of Times Square!

Beautiful decor, great food and exceptional music!

Intimate venue to see artists. Food is tasty and staff is lovely.

Its a nice venue but they were terrible with service. They gave me the wrong drink and also messed up my bill and ended up charging me $30 more. Hence the two star loss. Paul Gilbert, the artist performing tonight, was phenomenal as usual.

Good food and great drinks in a legendary place.

We saw Strawberry Fields and the show was great.The huge downside: we had to but the tickets for the show and a USD30 mandatory brunch. The quality of the food was terrible! Greasy, cheap food. Really overpriced.

The music is great but the management of the place is terrible. The hosts are rude. The show I was going to was sold out, and I had to wait 10 minutes after it started to see if there are available seats. After 10 minutes I got inside. Nevertheless I had to pay the full price, although I missed part of the show. There were quite a few seats available, so I was wondering why the wait. Yet there were people coming in, even after half an hour into the show. Makes no sense.Look at some other live-music places to see how organized and efficient they are. Learn something.

Lets me start by saying this review has nothing to do with the performance. We went to see Peter Cincottis Valentines Day show and he was spectacular! Five stars all the way!The one star rating is for the food. We had preferred seating and arrived at the venue 50 minutes prior to the show. It took 20 minutes for a server to come and take our order and then another 30 minutes for the food (only a burger and fries) to come out. By the time it did arrive, they had dimmed the lights for the show. The fries were okay, nothing to rave about, but the burger, ugh, this is where it all went wrong...I ordered it to be cooked medium and in the dim light I couldnt tell how it was cooked but it tasted off. I only tried eating half and then had them wrap the other half to take home. I wish they wouldve let me wrap it up myself. They put everything on the plate (including the ketchup cup with no lid) into the to go box and paper bag.I got home and took it out and the ketchup had spilled everywhere and THE BURGER WAS RAW! It was only brown on the outside. And not raw as in it could pass for rare, but RAW raw.Go for the music and a couple of drinks. Dont get the food. Especially the Les Paul burger. If you must try it because of the name, please order it extra well done. Then it might come out medium.

Great venue for jazz, great acoustics and great service.

Enjoyed a phenomenal performance and healthy food options at the Iridium last week. I was honestly blown away by the talent (Paul Gilbert) and forgot how fun it is to watch live music in such an intimate venue. I had been to the Iridium several times years ago for jazz and Les Paul, and was thrilled to find the sound is still exceptional. Having food and beverages available during a show, especially healthy options. was a bonus. Come for the music. It will not disappoint. Im looking forward to returning soon.

Wonderful intimate space for music. Not a bad seat in the house. Food and drinks a bit pricey as expected, but the flatbread I had was very tasty.

Awesome intimate storied venue

First time. Cool looking basement club. Lots of history. We came to see Ally Venable Band an up and coming blues power trio in the vein of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Fancier food than typical music venues. Had braised short ribs on mashed potatoes and tried the veggie empanadas. Both excellently made and tasty. The odd rule they had was that couples couldnt sit next to each other. Had to sit across the table. Hostess seats everyone. Will go back. Parking was literally across the street so easy to drive if one wants.

Great intimate venue to see music. Have been several times. Food is enjoyable. Took off a star because despite paying extra for preferred seating, on my last visit the best seats were all reserved for parties of three.

Show was excellent. Seating very good. Small crowd venue. Food left something to be desired. Eat first, then jam.

Intimate setting for music. Good sound and good sight lines.

Very musically incredible, historical venue. Great appearance for the music minded. Very good cusine, and very courteous staff.Music isnt over bearing and very hearable.

Saw Angel here. Great nite.

Good food, vibe, service! I love how the music is mixed. I saw The Harlem Blues Project & they were amazing!!

Great place to see a band, once you get in. My complaint is it is a restaurant style line to get in. If there are 20 people ahead of you, you are not getting in for awhile. Also they (understandably) try to fit as many customers in as possible. So seating is tight. There are some tables on a ramp, so one side is a few inches higher than the other. Its funny to see but Im glad I wasnt sitting there. The GOOD: there doesnt seem like there would be a bad seat. Its small enough that everyone can see the performance. The sound system was really clear. The sound guy seemed to be dialing the reverb/echo on the vocals at times. It also was not to loud. I brought ear plugs but did not need then at all. The subtle lighting of the back wall and the stage lighting were simple but effective.They have a lot of Gibson Les Paul guitars from past performers on the walls, which was cool. I didnt eat, but the food smelled good and seemed reasonably priced for NYC.Bottom line, I am impatient, so waiting 45+ minutes to get seated in a place that holds 180 irritated me, but the rest of the experience was great.

An Iconic music venue that features popular and local musicians from near and far. Great food and drink in a comfortable setting.

An incredible place to watch a show. Jake E Lee rocked it out. All seats are first class. Just go.

The seating set up was a bit too crowded at times I couldnt see the artist from my seat since the customers seating next to me would block my view. Other than that the food was ok it was a bit expensive for the quality. Had the calamari which where not too bad and the Wings where better.

Great jazz/rock club in midtown. Less Paul played there every week until his passing.

Love this venue. Feels very New York, relaxed. Saw the superb Marilyn Maye there in summer 2018. Going back to see her again in a few weeks. I dont live in NY - am making a special trip - and am so glad to be seeing Ms. Maye at Iridium (she sings all over).

The venue is designed for critical listening. Frank Gambale and the band did not disappoint, and the house sound man got it right. The drinks were strong and the filet and salmon were delicious. This experience easily topped the Blue Note on every level. Will return on a regular basis when in town.

I visited NYC and decided to go here, they seemed to have good reviews. The worst service that Ive seen in a while. This review in no way is towards the workers amazing singing and performance. They are all very much talented and would have enjoyed the show more if the service wasnt so unbearable. I came in with a large group. They already had Pepsi set out and upon tasting it, was watered down and non-carbonated due to it being set out for so long. This was fine at first. It took a lot just to tail down a worker and after stating that the Pepsi tasted weird and asked for another one. Was told that nothing was wrong with it and that it should be fine. It wasnt. No one at the table found it drinkable. I dont see what the problem is to just bring out more Pepsi upon request, especially when we didnt specifically order it in the first place. Annoyed, I just asked for water for the whole table. We asked if they could take away the Pepsi because the table were small and we felt as if we had no space. We were told that someone else would come by and pick it up for us -- no one ever did. We ended up gathering all the drinks at the end of the table. I was one of the last people in the group to get my food after 45-50 minutes. The food came out in intervals and you had to flag down a worker just to get food that was coming out. Someone at my table had asked for napkins three separate time from three separate workers and never received them. The food was mediocre at best. I would not go to this place again, the price just to get in -- the price overall was not worth the experience. This place made me realize how spoiled I am to southern hospitality. Those workers can sing but cant wait for anything.

Real history is being written here in The Iridium.

Beautiful, accomplished, and touching solo set by singer-songwriter Meiko last evening. Perfect venue for this kind of performance.

Nice intimate venue for music. Good acoustics. Friendly staff. I didnt try the food so I cant comment on that.

That place Les Paul built. Les Paul had a weekly residency for many years -- a classic NYC club. They recently did a major sound system upgrade. Food is very good for a music venue. They are booking an interesting eclectic mix of people these days. I would recommend without hesitation.

A fantastic jazz club in an intimate setting. Food is reasonable and the music is spectacular. Do not miss this place!

Good food, people and staff!!Ed Fast and Conga bop is awesome!!

Good bands but very small

Great Times Square Jazz Joint. Food is decent as well

Show- Ozmosis- was amazing. Service really good. But much too hot for all of us- including the band. Please turn on the AC! Overall though a really great night!

Great music, great sound, great service, and good food too

Great music venue, I really enjoyed myself. I am going back again to see John Waite.

Jazz show one of the best I have seen. The musicians so tight and famous. Food excellent. After the show many current and past famous people mingled with the audience sharing jokes and experiences. In Berlin at Atrane on a Monday night was a similar experience. You must visit and enjoy.

Had a good time just have to get on line first to get a good seat

Nice place, ambiance was awesome, directly in time square, 18$ for a good standard burger + a 20$ very basic salad. 25$ per ticket to get it.Waiter service was not extraordinary

I love this place! Great small venue place. Seen many legendary bands here. Stanley Clarke, Acoustic Alchemy, Brand X, Mike Stern just to name a few. Easy to get to from path World Trade Center to E Train Uptown to 50th. General admission so come early. $15 minimum per person so try the burgers theyre great.

Great atmosphere, attentive service, friendly staff, excellent jazz.

Went to the Drag Brunch and it was great! Be sure to get tip money before the show because the show was half over before the guy came around to sell $1s.

Some super gigs here - very nice casual type food

Smooth sounds, nice lighting; good food. Bilals set was awesome!

A wonderful evening with my fiance, enjoying the smooth sounds of Acoustic Alchemy.

Went to drag brunch here. Cozy, intimate, and the Bloody Marys were delish.

I visite this place once for an event not for Music etc and the food was Delicious. Service by the employees was decent

Great place. Great Jane Monheit concert.

Great musicians there tonight. Had the group Arjun there. Food was good, but the service was lousy. Waiter took my order and brought over my drink and the kitchen staff brought my food to me. But the waiter never came back. I finished my drink and wanted another one, but he never came back. When he finally came back to take my plate, I asked for another drink, but he never brought it to me. At the end, he brought my bill (which already has 20% gratuity on it), but no drink. I was ready to leave, so I didnt even ask about it. So the place was good, my waiter was bad.

One of my favorite venues for live music. Great selection of rock blues and jazz. And not over priced!

Beautiful show by Bilal and his band. The Iridium is a beautiful place. I loved the vibe. The server that waited on me and my companion was very polite. However, one staff member was rude when we wanted service for drinks and a bite to eat. She could had said that she isnt servicing the area we was in and shown us our waiter. Also, the bill is ridiculous for two glasses of wine ,two beers , a ceasar salad with chicken added and coconut shrimp . Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will recommend this place for great entertainment and a beautiful atmosphere. All the food & drinks where good, to pricey. Its Manhattan I guess.lol

Went here for a drag brunch and it was a great show. Would recommend!

Good music event... Nice atmosphere
