“A stones throw away from Dalston Kingsland Station you will find The Dalston Jazz Bar. It’s a full on restaurant up until 10 PM. They serve an array of fresh seafood as well as yummy beer from a local brewery and cocktails. The live band plays throughout the night with a few breaks. After 10 PM they clear all tables and chairs to create a dance floor and this place then really starts to rock! We don't do vegan or vegetarian food. We specialize in fish. Tuesdays are our LGBTQ night, but everyone is welcome. Tuesdays will now feature live jazz bands."

    Always a pleasure. The food and drinks always exceptional. Service always impeccable. The party included a vegetarian and they were blown away with their choices. Was a special occasion and couldn’t have picked a better place. To keep these standards on an incredibly busy period is impressive. No bill has ever felt less than value for money, no matter the amount. Thank you Hawksmoor.

    One of the best meals I’ve ever had which requires a revisit to be able to try other things on the menu. Superb service and loved the ambiance of the place. Best bread pudding dessert!

    The best kind of organised chaos, staff are rushing around placing new dishes on your table constantly. The feel of the place is lovely, quite intimate and romantic. Food is amazing, so fresh tasting and they will replace things like the chips and bread for hot fresh plates. Fish is spectacular. The seafood special is the way to go. No faults really, only marked ever so slightly down because, the toilet is not very nice but no real problems just cold and damp, and overall the place is cold, and the door is left open so it basically feels like your outside but its alright and didn't really bother me but if you go this time of year be warned to wear a nice jumper for when you take your coat off. But I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to book! arrive on time for the best tables so you don't have to share!!

    I loved the place and the huge table looking to the kitchen. The decoration and the atmosphere. But I was a bit disappointed with the food, that I found too saucy and with associations that I didn’t think so interesting. Also, we were advised to order at least 5 different plates to share and that was way too much! So I don’t think I will recommend. Sorry !
