Foojohn Jazz Club

Cozy hidden bar for true jazz lovers A small, warm bar tucked away on the second floor — a bit hard to find but absolutely worth it. The cocktails were decent, though not particularly memorable. The real highlight here is the live jazz music — energetic, tight, and truly enjoyable. Surprisingly, the pizza was fantastic and a must-try! If you’re into jazz, this place is a hidden gem you shouldn’t miss. Highly recommended for a chill night with great music and a laid-back vibe.

5 Stars – Blown Away Scenes reminiscent of Whiplash, as I sit back in total bewilderment, listening to Ms. Melanie 'Babydoll' Wallace’s velvety, soothing voice saturate the room. My mind shifts between the hypnotic vocals and the jazz duel unfolding between percussionists—keys and sticks in passionate conversation. Only jazz connoisseurs fill the room, and we are meditating in unison, elevated by the glory unfolding on stage. The cocktail mixologist delivers a perfect Long Tall Island Gin—lime-forward and a spectacle for the tastebuds. Applause erupts at the close of each number, followed by the soft rhythm of fingers snapping to usher in the next. Five stars for quality, ambience, mood, vibe, and an everlasting impression. Babydoll and tight knit jazz trio deserve a worthier audience-infinitely thanking you 🙏

Spent a great Sunday with friends here! We really enjoyed the vibes and live jazz. The musicians were fun, friendly, and talented. We made a booking in advance just to be safe.

I was looking for real jazz in BKK and this is the place. I had an amazing time. Very wide choice of cocktails and non alko. Barman was a magician. He prepares drinks like a little piece of art. It can be a bit tricky to find a place, but a big Pac-Man will lead you :) For sure I will back!

I happened to find Foojohn Jazz Club when a place close by that I was planning to try was packed out. Fortunately for me I could hear the first act warming up (blues guitar) warming up so I went in search of it. The club isn't all that obvious since the door is a few metres down a small side street and is not very well lit, though maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough. The club is really quite small. I'd guess there is seating for 50 or 60 people including about six at the bar. I was there early(ish) so it was quite empty but by the time the opening act was done it was almost full and given it was a Saturday night you kinda expect it will be. The place has a happy vibe and everyone appreciated the music, with good reason too as both the solo blues guitarist and the follow up four piece band were pretty good. I'm not sure someone looking for 'real' jazz would be satisfied but for me the performances were great on a Saturday night in a quiet corner of Bangkok. And what is a Jazz Club without cocktails? (A pub, but that's beside the point 😉). The cocktails at Foojohn were really good. I tried a couple and because I was seated at the bar I got to watch the barman at work so I can attest to the fact that the range is impressive and I didn't see any complaints. (As a bit of a Negroni snob these days my only suggestion would be for Foojohn to invest in a better red vermouth - but I'm not complaining, I had two and they were definitely up to scratch). So yeah, if you're looking for a bit of jazz while you're in Bangkok Foojohn is worth a look. Don't be surprised if you stay until closing - I was.

Had a great time at Foojohn Jazz Bar! Loved the warm and inviting ambiance. Perfect for a chill night out. Love love the live band too! Highly recommend this spot if you're into good music, great drinks, and a cozy atmosphere.

Second time here! I’m heartbroken that they don’t sell the meat on the stick from downstairs anymore it was my highlight last time. Love the atmosphere. It’s quite small with limited seats but it’s cozy. Tere sang last night and she was impeccable. Anyone who loves jazz and soul should definitely visit, I advice to book in advance

Fantastic little Jaz club, always on my list to visit, a great range of acts also, and the drinks are great, excellent cocktails and they sell beer lao dark...
