Birdland Jazz Club upcoming events — New York, NY

Discover the Legendary Birdland Jazz Club

The Birdland Jazz Club is more than a jazz club — it's a living landmark that captures the spirit of New York’s golden era of jazz. Located in Midtown Manhattan, Birdland puts you steps from the city’s Broadway buzz — and right in front of the world’s finest jazz performers. From Birdland Jazz Club upcoming events to signature residencies, every night delivers the authentic, intimate experience that’s made this room famous.

Opened on December 15, 1949 and named for Charlie “Bird” Parker, Birdland helped shape the sound and legacy of modern jazz. The club reopened at its current location in 1996, maintaining its timeless cabaret-style layout and jazz-themed décor. A high-quality sound system — tailored specifically for live jazz — ensures warm acoustics and crystal-clear detail from the stage.

Birdland’s legacy is unmatched. Legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Count Basie, Lester Young, and Sarah Vaughan all left their mark here, fueling Birdland’s reputation as “The Jazz Corner of the World.” Today, the calendar features live jazz performances, concerts, cabaret, special events, and beloved residencies — including the Birdland Big Band and recurring jazz series.

Everything about the room is designed for connection — between artist and audience, and between sound and space. With classic cabaret seating and excellent sightlines from nearly every table, you’re never far from the action. The cozy, sophisticated ambiance — complete with jazz-inspired design — makes each set feel personal, whether you’re up front by the bandstand or farther back with friends.

If you love live music, Birdland delivers the quintessential New York jazz experience — intimate, stylish, and steeped in history. Pair that with seamless access to Times Square and the Theater District, and you’ve got a night out that’s as effortless as it is unforgettable.

• Front Tables by the Stage: For the most immersive experience, choose tables near the bandstand — you’ll feel every note and nuance, and the photos (before/after sets only, when permitted) are unforgettable.

• Raised Cabaret Sections: Slightly elevated areas toward the back and sides offer clear sightlines over the floor — a great pick if you prefer a panoramic view of the stage.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Birdland Jazz Club

315 West 44th Street, Suite 5402

New York, NY 10036-5402

Birdland sits in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Times Square and the Broadway Theater District — a prime location for a full night out.

• Parking: No dedicated parking; several paid parking garages are available nearby. Street parking is limited.
• Public Transit: Easily accessible via the NYC Subway — A, C, E, 1, 2, 3, N, Q, R, W, and 7 trains at Times Square–42nd Street or 42nd Street–Port Authority Bus Terminal stations.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup and dropoff are convenient along West 44th Street.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–60 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to check in, settle into your table, and enjoy dinner or a cocktail before the music starts. Because seating is cabaret-style and intimate, arriving on the earlier side helps you get comfortable and minimizes disruptions once the performance begins.

Weather isn’t a factor — Birdland is an indoor venue — but Midtown traffic can be. Subways (Times Square–42nd Street and Port Authority–42nd Street) are the most reliable way to arrive on time. If you’re driving, budget extra minutes to locate a nearby garage, and remember that street parking is scarce.

Walking and elevation changes are minimal — the club is at street level in Midtown Manhattan. If you’re meeting friends, pick a corner or landmark on West 44th Street and head inside together to be seated at the same table.

Venue Navigation

Birdland’s layout is classic and straightforward: a central stage with cabaret-style tables arranged for direct sightlines across the room. The intimate footprint means you’re never far from the music, whether you’re near the bandstand or seated in a slightly raised area toward the back.

Table service is available throughout the show, with a full dinner and drinks menu featuring classic American fare, specialty cocktails, and desserts. Restrooms are on site, and a merchandise area with Birdland-branded items and CDs may be available. The space is compact and comfortable — you won’t need to cover long distances, but it’s still smart to travel light to keep your seating area clear.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Limited information available — check directly with the venue for the most up-to-date bag guidelines; small bags are commonly accepted at similar NYC clubs.
• Prohibited Items: Generally, outside food/drink, large bags, and professional cameras are not permitted.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Service animals are generally permitted as required by law.
• Camera Policy: Photography and recording are typically not allowed during performances.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 30–60 minutes early to enjoy table service before the first set.
• Take the subway for the most predictable arrival; garages nearby can fill quickly on busy theater nights.

Pre-Event Planning

Make it a full Midtown night out by pairing your show with a pre- or post-performance meal in the Theater District or Restaurant Row. With Birdland Jazz Club upcoming events bringing top-tier artists to an intimate room, you’ll want to arrive early, savor a cocktail, and settle in before the first downbeat.

If you’re attending with a group, coordinate arrival so you can be seated together — cabaret-style tables vary in size, and being on time helps parties stay together. Cell service is generally strong in Midtown Manhattan, but it’s still smart to share a meeting spot on West 44th Street to streamline entry.

There are no special exterior displays to plan around, so your focus is the music — and the view. The room’s intimate size means there are few bad seats; pick your preference (up close for nuance, center for balance, raised for a wider view), and use the Birdland Jazz Club seating chart to compare options before you buy.

Accessibility

Accessibility information is limited. The venue is located at street level in Midtown Manhattan, and nearby public garages may offer ADA spaces. Service animals are permitted as required by law. For accessible seating or specific accommodations, contact the venue directly for the latest details.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find a full dinner and drinks menu with table service during shows. Expect classic American fare, cocktails (including specialty jazz-themed drinks), and desserts — all served without missing a note of the performance.
