The Jazz Café - Reading, Berkshire, UK For fans of Jazz, Funk and Soul, we're your leading live music and bar venue in Reading. But its more than just Jazz! It’s what our customers wanted.
(313)

We host unforgettable events so whether its your big birthday bash or wedding reception, we
would love to host your next celebration! The Jazz Cafe does it live! - BUT IT’S MORE THAN JAZZ!!! You can tell by the name that we’re fanatical about outstanding live music. But don’t be fooled… When we opened at this location in 2001 we only played the finest UK Jazz, then we quickly branched out into Soul, Funk, & RnB. And it’s why The Jazz Café has grown to be the South’s leading restaurant and live music venue; it’s the perfect place for a great night out. Today we continue to play music from these genres. Our showcase events have already included such great names as Courtney Pine, Average White Band, Alexander O’Neil, The Commitments, The Real Thing, and Shakatak. In 2010 we extended our playlist in to include exceptional tributes to Queen, Robbie Williams, Michael Bublé, the Rolling Stones, Madness and Elvis, complemented by some of the best DJ’s around. All this in an intimate yet lively setting where you’ll feel the bands are playing just to you. But we’re also passionate about providing our guests with delicious food and a superb bar in a truly inviting atmosphere and the warmest welcome in Reading. Our 100-cover restaurant offers tables for two up to parties of 100. Everyone has their table for the whole evening – just a rolling stone’s throw from the stage! Or just come for the music. Either way, we’ve designed it to be an unforgettable experience.

Take a look ahead at Reading FC's upcoming fixtures across the League, FA Cup and EFL Trophy 🏆

There's only one home fixture (as it stands) in November with an early kick off of 12:30pm which means we'll be open from 10am that Saturday morning.

This year, we are hosting a new type of shared Christmas party night and we are SO excited!

Our very own resident DJ will be hosting two musical bingo nights this festive season 🎷

It works in exactly the same way as usual bingo, but instead of numbers, you'll be crossing through song names on your sheet!

And after we've announced our bingo winner, get ready to party as our DJ hits the tunes to get you and all your friends on the dancefloor 🪩

Dinner tickets - £58.50
Entry-only tickets - £15 (this ticket does not include bingo)

Today we're throwing it back to this Autumn-inspired event that took the colours of the season right the way through their décor 🍂

From orange and black chair sashes to the feathers and floral centrepieces for each of the tables, everything was thoughtfully considered for this event.

If you were hosting an October event, would you match your décor to the season, or choose something else entirely?
