Great atmosphere, great service and great selection of food. The jazz was top notch. Loved the Felipe trio live! Loved the interior and the architecture too.

Came here as a surprise for my partners birthday. Our reservation was at 8:45, we were told we could be taken to our seats at 9:15. So not only were we going to be seated late but we were going to miss 15 minutes of the show that is only an hour long. Which is a lot to miss when you are paying a cover and a two drink minimum. When I asked the manager at the front about this he said, "do you want to go in or do you want to miss more of the show?" Which is incredibly rude and dismissive when we were just trying to understand.New York is home to many jazz clubs with a richer history than this one, and they manage to be courteous, respectful and professional whenever we visit, so we will be sticking to those in the future.

Love the space and the music. Been here multiple times.There is NOTHING on the menu , appetizers or entrees, for a vegetarian. Food is otherwise good, I’m told.Vegetarian options: Only salad. None of the appetizers or entrees are vegetarian.

The only thing i liked about this place is the atmosphere. the interior design it’s cute!drinks overpriced, ando i also didnt know about the $35 cover per person and neither of the 2 drinks per person, so they charged me a “minimum” amount of $20… afterwards i asked and THEN i ordered a dessert for compensate those $20.the dessert was bad. dissappointed!and the service was meh

Fantastic little club in a cute building.The building itself is a hotel/ a club/ a cinema / a jazz lounge. To get to Django you need to go down the stairwell to the basement and be seated. Make reservations!!!!Pro:- the music- the atmosphere- the service- they split bills if you are there with group- romanticCon:- Price ($35 entry plus 2 drink minimum)- expensive- some seats are better than others, so ask to be seated in front of the bandOverall it was an amazing vibe.Vegetarian options: Not a great selection, but you can manage!

Go if you wanted to enjoy music and the atmosphere but nothing else. I came here for my birthday and left SEVERELY disappointed. My waitress brought our first drinks- I guess she misheard me with my order but I decided to settle because the music started and I couldn't flag her down. We ordered the meat and cheese board- good, but needs more crackers. I order my second drink and the bartender says they can't make this classic cocktail- it occurs to me that they wouldn't have been able to make my first drink either due to the missing ingredient so my waitress just ordered me the closest 2nd option (gin martini) without my approval. I guess their bar is only equipped for just their cocktails, so I ordered off the menu and it was one of the worse cocktails I've ever had. The table next to me received a birthday dessert while we didn't (which isn't the biggest thing in the world but still notable). It was just a sour experience to pay for $35 and two drinks that were less than what I would have liked and poor service. They also charged me $22 for the said gin martini. What? The 3-piece band was good, but the band playing in the entrance of the hotel with the larger bar had a piano, bass, drums, and sax. Additionally, the Photo Booth says $5, but charged $13 and flashes with no warning. It was one annoyance after another. Next time, I'd skip the underground aesthetic for the more proper music and possibly more proper drinks on the first floor. I won't be returning.
Such a great place to spend time while listening to a world-class jazz show. I had a blast and the musicians were amazing and welcoming. You better have a reservation and know that at least two drinks have to be consumed during your time in there. I strongly recommend giving it a shot to drinks and foods and enjoy the show. Please be respectful and don’t talk during the show.

I listened to two great jazz performances at this underground jazz club. We were walk-ins and were able to get a table, although it was pretty busy so you should get reservations. The two mocktails I ordered were pretty good. There's a $35.00 cover and a 2 item minimum.

I've visited The Django several times and most recently brought my family who was visiting for the weekend. Overall, we enjoyed our evening and the fantastic band, but had a few key interactions that really left a sour taste in our mouths.First, we arrived about 20 minutes early for our reservation and checked in immediately. We happily waited until it was our reservation time to be seated, but our names were never called. About 5 minutes AFTER our reservation time, I approached the host stand to inquire about being seated and was defensively told that they had called our party several times to be seated -- which was not true as we were standing right there. We did hear a name that sounded similar to the one our reservation was under (and made our way to the host stand) but they took back another party with the name. The host was extremely defensive and did not apologize for whatever the mix-up was.Once seated, we realized we were seated next to a very large party of clearly intoxicated patrons. I am all for a good night out, but there was no enforcement of house rules to keep chatter at a low volume, and it was both awkward and frustrating trying to listen to the band at times. Additionally, staff moved the group sitting at the table directly in front of us TWICE (a total of three parties were seated there in the hour we were there) which was super distracting and bizarre, made worse by the fact that it was always in the middle of the song.Finally, after being told that our reservation was coming to an end and we needed to hit our drink minimum, we gladly ordered one final drink and were prepared to quickly consume it so we could leave. However, it took 25 minutes for the drink to come -- and we had staff hounding us to leave in that time. We completely understand the need to turn a table over and were happy to vacate as soon as possible, but slow bar service kept us in place.It's a beautiful space with amazing artists, and while the drinks are expensive they are quite good... but the service is absolutely abysmal. For those looking to actually LISTEN and enjoy a live jazz show, this might not be the destination.
