Information about this business (3)

Located inside of the Charles Hotel , this is one of the best jazz clubs in Boston. Playing host to international, national and local musicians, you can expect good jazz whenever you go. Past performers include Branford Marsalis, Michael Brecker, McCoy Tyner and Ruth Brown. A long bar, serving great martinis, stretches along the back wall. Between the bar area and the dance floor there are...

The Regattabar opened on January 29, 1985, and has since become the leading jazz club not only in Boston, but in New England... as well. Boston magazine bestowed its “Best of Boston Award” 14 times naming The Regattabar “Best Jazz Club”, and in 2003, inducted The Regattabar into its “Best of Boston Hall of Fame”. The Regattabar has also been named “Best Jazz Club” by both the Boston Phoenix...

Editorial reviews from the web (5)

Once the go-to club for name jazz acts, Regattabar has lately scaled back its music roster to host private events. Regulars still include top guitarists (John Scofield, Mike Stern, Wayne Krantz, Pat Martino) and local favorites (Mike Bono, Matt Savage). Tickets for shows are $20–$35. The dark 250-seat club with jaunty nautical decor offers reasonably priced fare and drinks.

The Regattabar's selection of local and international jazz artists is among the best in the area. The large third-floor room holds about 225. Buy tickets in advance or at the door an hour before show time.

The Regattabar's selection of local and international jazz artists may be the best in the area -- I'd give the edge to Scullers Jazz Club, but check both schedules before you decide. Cassandra Wilson, Buckwheat Zydeco, and McCoy Tyner have appeared recently. The large third-floor room holds about 225. Buy tickets in advance or at the door an hour before show time. Open Tuesday through Saturday...

The classy, sleek Regattabar, in the Charles Hotel just off Harvard Square, gathers superlative accolades as easily as it attracts the top names in jazz. It’s acknowledged as Boston’s top jazz club and usually listed among the best in America, with the likes of Wynton Marsalis and Dizzy Gillespie having played here. It’s not just the music that’s good at Regattabar – the atmosphere is cool and...

An elegant club whose upscale setting complements its soulful, jazzy musical offerings.

In Short
Just as one would expect from a club set inside the classy Charles Hotel, Regattabar's interior is cozy, comfortable, dimly lit and relaxing. It's recommended for tickets to be...

The show itself was good. However, the seating was not comfortable as they packed the tables so much. Waiters/servers even have a hard time to walk by and get you the drink. It just makes the experience less enjoyable.

I had fun. Wish my table wasn't behind the band, but whatever. Everyone ended up dancing by the end of the night. Good times!

Really hate the layout and seating at this place.They do get great acts but I skip most shows there because of the seating problem.I have been to 3-4 shows there over the years and have only had a good seat once. See photo.The band is underneath the lights you can see in the ceiling. As another poster …

They will leave hungry and thirstyB) go to one of the many GOOD music clubs in the boston area and see how it should be doneAcoustics and sound in this space are terrible and the sound system seems to …

Good music, TERRIBLE service. It is quite typical to wait a long time for simple table service to get a drink. I can't think of any other jazz club around...
