Nardis Jazz Club

Nardis Jazz Club is one of the most cozy venues on Istanbul’s jazz scene, welcoming both local and international jazz musicians. It is a real an intimate atmosphere for years. Located in the heart of Galata, go and enjoy for an unforgettable nights with warm ambiance.

Definitely should visit this legendary place if you are into Jazz This is not a spot for loud chats but for a music. Spend a date here! Nice selection of wine. For a best views it’s better to reserve a table in advance

We had an unforgettable night at Nardis Jazz Club. The band was excellent, they played Jazz and Tango and I can't remember the last time I gained such pleasure from music. A huge thanks to the owners of the club for organising such a beautiful night! About the place: the entrance fee is 800TL. The food is just your standard pub food, nothing fancy, but on a more expensive range of the spectrum. We heard loads of people complimenting cocktails, but we had beer. 290TL per draft Efes. There is a show on each night, except for Sundays, you can look at their website to see the programme. I highly recommend visiting this place, your soul will thank you!

Probably the best jazz club in Istanbul. The best artists play every day, hence it is worth buying tickets 1-2 weeks in advance, as they are often out of stock 2-3 days before a given date. The atmosphere inside is typically jazz - a small room, small tables, wooden chairs, everything a bit patinated - but this is what such clubs are all about, namely naturalness. And fantastic contact with the artists - a small stage in the corner of the small hall, so coming, for example, an hour before the concert, you have a chance for a table near the stage, and if you come later, you have a table or a place at the bar a lot further away, that is.... from 4-5 meters. My favorite place in Istanbul!

Loved the jazz performance here last week. The space is very tiny so reservation is needed for booking a table . We went post dinner so we were more interested in performance than food.

Had an excellent jazz night at Nardiss. I don’t have idea about food because we didn’t order food but wine. I’d say the quality of wine wasn’t great according to the price. Atmosphere concept and concert was pretty good. Reservations and buying tickets is mandatory.

Amazing venue, concerts almost every day, and a nice plan for a night out.

Wonderful atmosphere and artists. Drinks are great but only thing is that you most likely will be sharing a table with others, especially if it’s a packed night (regardless if you reserved a table or not). Still great vibes.

There's a blonde lady (according to the waiter she is the owner), that keeps shushing people even if they are conversing at a normal volume.. she's like the school principal who is deeply confused about boundaries! If you do not want people to talk, then arrange your space accordingly and make your suggestions through a microphone before the event starts.. There is a warning that says "be quiet during the show" to be fair but the way she shushes people is too invasive and frankly, rude. Sneaking up on people and getting up on their space is really revolting! Thank you for making me not enjoy this night I will not be coming back Also.. sour and subpar margaritas

Down a secluded steep hill below the Galaga tower, you will find the entrance to this jazz club. It is cozy end chill. You will have to book in advance and there is food and plenty to drink. Most of all, smoke free boutique venue to listen to excellent jazz.

Nardis Jazz Club is a small bar with live music. It locates near the Galata Tower in Istanbul. I went there on a Saturday night. The entry fee was $10. The door opened at 8:30 pm. The show started at 9:30 pm. The place was packed quickly. There was a 30 minutes break after an hour of performance. There was supposed another 1 hour performance after the break. I left during the break as more people pouring in. This place was just too crowded and became uncomfortable. The music would be better without the female signer. The owner should not let so many people jammed inside such a small space. I would not go back.

Oh Nardis, how I love thee. I have been going to Nardis for years and have loved it always. Despite the over priced wine, the tickets to the shows are reasonable, the service is decent. If you don't mind being close to others in the audience, this is certainly a place for you. For a city that does not have to much live jazz, why not poke your head in, you will not be dissapointed.

consistently great shows. i was happy with the bar, not so happy about the food (come here after your dinner) please, just enjoy the music. it is not suited to your muffled conversations, it is much better when you give your reviews after the applause (not that most of the sophisticated patrons would ruin a great concert) if you wish, there are better, fun bars nearby you could enjoy.

While I cannot speak for this place relative to other jazz venues in Istanbul or Turkey, I am afraid I was unimpressed by Nadir Jazz Club. While the venue itself is good (small and intimate, drink prices reasonable) the backing band was not, and neither was the night helped by the tune selection (among which Michael Jackson covers were included), and (relatively) steep cover (40 lira).
