Jazz nights in Miami are ever so popular in our culture.
Even though we are known for our nightlife fueled by some of the hottest nightclubs in the nation; we also have a contrasting alternative for live jazz.
Sometimes locals seek a little more of a down-temp night out.
A low-key atmosphere to enjoy the company of your date or group.
If this is your preferred outing during the weekend, we recommend these 5 jazz nights in Miami on Saturday's.
1. Lagniappe House
A laid back and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a glass of wine and the sounds of a live jazz band.
This intimate space has two different settings to enjoy the comfort of a casual outing in the Wynwood area.
The indoor space is where the live band plays in what seems to be an extension of your living room. Full of couches and standing room surrounded by wine bottles.
The outside space are for those seeking to have a conversation with tabled seating and indulge in the mood enhanced by the visual of trees wrapped with lightbulbs.
Lagniappe House offers not only wine but a refrigerator full of craft beers on rotation.
Have a group coming with you? Definitely try the meat and cheese boards to share with your company.
The Jazz bands are on rotation featuring local and nationally touring musicians.
2. Ball and Chain
Saturday nights here are known as La Pachanga at the legendary Ball and Chain!
Bring your dancing shoes and limber up your hips because this Jazz night brings the tropical sounds to the dance floor.
The Pineapple stage located in the back outdoor space sets the right experience with table seating and a dance floor.
This is one of Miami's most part-infused night of live Jazz music.
Mix in some of Little Havana's flavor to your cocktails and tapas selections and you will be transported to a local Caribbean enjoyment!
3. Room 25
This place is for the romantics.
Room 25 is a drinking and dining space with plush seating for an over the top lounging experience.
It really feels like there are barrels of gin in the backroom as this blast from the past themed venue serves up classy cocktails in Coral Gables.
Located upstairs of the Seek+Find restaurant, dining is also available here so bring in your date.
The live entertainment consists of vocals, instruments, and live Dj's spinning electro-jazz tunes.
4. Le Chat Noir
If the influence sounds of Blue Note records extended towards the Southeast, this is what it would be like.
Le Chat Noir is located in Downtown Miami and it has everything you would expect when it comes to Jazz club.
It's located downstairs inside a basement with low ceiling, wine selections and beers.
Some light dining options are also available here to add to your outing.
The lighting is very dim and the seating is limited, do make your reservations well in advance!
5. The Fish House
The Backroom Live is a special room located behind The Fish House and this is a very original setting for live Jazz.
This restaurant is known to serve splendid seafood dishes and drinks in the Kendall area.
It's almost a surprise to realize it is popular for the local Jazz buffs from Miami.
Heavily promoted by 88.9 WDNA, our local jazz radio station this is a real treat for anyone seeking live musicians improvising to the sounds of swing!
