Lava Jazz

Hello I went to listen an Italian & Portuguese jazz duo 🫠plus Thomas on harmonica and bunch of other musicians, they were amazing. Also lady behind the bar had tasty skills for me, who doesn't know what she wants, prepare a cocktail that I loved 😍it was a the first Portuguese place I have ever seen working with three people and fast enough for the amount 🙃note : it was not with a ticket night but was still full

We spent a wonderful evening at the Lava Jazz Club for a concert of João da Ilha. We had a wonderful evening : The people at the club are really exceptional: amazingly hosting customers and the musicians, we can feel they love what they do. The atmosphere was extremely positive. The way the scene was prepared, the positive audience, create an amazing positive vibe. João da Ilha and the guitarist he plays with are excellent musicians and composers, as well as incredible people. The food is okay. These are very good snacks but don’t expect a dinner per sé. Overall, a very very good night. Obrigado!

Decent (and only) jazz spot in Ponta Delgada. Before going be aware that they are not open weekdays normally and/or every weekends. You will need to check at the door to make sure - there is no source on the internet for the correct opening times. Some rigid rules here - no caps for starts, and it operates on a performance time schedule - sit down tables. Strange table sharing concept which my lady was not fond of. I found the lady manager on duty a bit impersonal and arrogant. Drinks here are mighty expensive - recommend not ordering too much. Overall the acts are fine. Drummer was amazing but the bassist looked like he was disinterested and wanted to go home. I’m a big jazz fan and i felt this place missed the mark to what jazz is - i felt so rigid and not able to just enjoy the music from the constant pestering of abidance to the rules and how the lady manager kept coming to us and asking to for us to share tables with strangers. They seriously need to chill out and let customers enjoy the music.

Small local jazz club we've enjoyed 5 or 8 times. Local talent of extremely high caliber. Reservations are needed. Check website for talent and schedule. €10 cover per person weekdays, €15 per weekends that is used for drinks, snacks or light kitchen fare. Top shelf club just celebrating their 7th year as I write this.

The staff are incredibly friendly and the food and drinks are pretty good! I'd recommend it if you're looking for a bar with a good atmosphere.

Great happy hour with wine and mixed (mean and cheese) boards. The champagne and oysters are a must try!

We booked a private event at this venue ahead of our wedding on Sao Miguel. Our night here was amazing beyond words. We asked for karaoke plus a DJ, but our group preferred to do karaoke for the whole time between 8-12pm. Everyone had an amazing time, partly because of the attentive bar staff who provided everything our guests needed all night long. The karaoke options spanned the 60s to the 2000s so some people missed some more modern options, but the group had fun all the same, bringing out old school classics and deep cuts. The drinks were delicious, and the staff were the absolute best, making sure we had what we needed, when we needed it. The venue itself is the perfect space for 50-60 people to enjoy a private event. 100% would recommend for karaoke, private concert, or probably any public event just based on our interactions with management and staff. If you don't visit here when you visit Ponta Delgada, you're missing out on an absolute gem. We had one of the best nights of our lives here. Thank you again to management and staff!!

A lovely, intimate space to spend an evening listening to world class musicians! There is no bad seat in the house, great sound, very affordable. Don’t miss it!

A lively joint in a sleepy town, friendly, savvy and cool. We got there at 10p and stayed until 1a. Good drinks, great music, friendly staff. A lovely night out. Thanks Lava Jazz.

Lucky enough we just happened to pass by while out in a walk, great place! We were able to see Sara Silva who is wonderful, what a beautiful voice! Great ambiance, great service, great vibe!

Live music on a regular basis. Classy, you may want to dress up! Tonight was mostly 50's targeting an older crowd. Call and ask if different days bring different crowds.

If you're looking for live music in Ponta Delgada, go to Lava Jazz. You might have a great time there!

Went on a recommendation from a friend of a friend while on vacation in the Azores. We totally loved this place--fantastic music, drinks, and ambiance!! The owners are wonderfully accommodating and friendly. Try their signature "Lava Jazz Drink"...it was so refreshing and delicious without being too sweet.
