Nardis Jazz Club

Every big city I go to, I try to make it to a live music place and jazz specifically I can find it. I happened to hear Istanbul has an amazing jazz scene and when inquiring with a handful of people in the jazz scene most of them recommended Nardis. I arrived a tad bit late but was able to get a seat at the bar by myself and I absolutely loved this experience. The service was prompt, wine was good. I ordered food as I didn't have time beforehand and it was fine. The music was INCREDIBLE. This venue is on the smaller side and creates an intimate music experience. The musicians came by talking with people on their break and after the show. It's not often you get a chance to speak with the musicians so I truly valued the opportunity. I was SO happy to make it to this venue and see the show. 10/10 recommended

Excellent and cozy place to chill and hang out away from the busy and noisy night of Istanbul. Good price for the drinks compared to other bars and very polite staff. Would be back here for sure.🥂👍

This is by far one of the best jazz places I’ve ever been to, if you re going there for the music you will go to quality and and pure jazz music. I would encourage everyone to not believe the bad reviews , because in my opinion those were probably people that first don’t have the money to spend for anything of quality and second their music al understanding is likely un existent ! So if you understand and appreciate jazz this is definitely the place to be!

Genuine jazz venue. The crowd, the band, the set up all scream the best jazz bar in Istanbul. The drinks are a bit pricey but quite varied. A must visit

A great jazz club where the music is sensational, the audience is respectful of the performers and the staff are welcoming. Combine this with great drinks - what more could you ask for

Nardis Jazz Club has a wonderful atmosphere and the music is excellent truly a treat for jazz lovers. It’s not the best place for groups who want to talk, since the focus is clearly on the performance. The owner comes across as very rude, which can really spoil your mood and enjoyment. Food is just average, nothing special. Still, the quality of the music and the vibe make it a good spot if you’re there for the jazz experience.

Was packed when we got there but staff helped us find a seat. Was kind enough to move us tk a better seat when people were leaving. Drinks were strong and still tasteful!! Great Music!!

Acoustic is great. By what I've been told that's the only jazz club in Istanbul. And damn it's good.💥💥💥 800TL for entrance but it was worth every lira;)

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).
