Best Jazz Venues 2026
Sponsored by All About Jazz
Seven years have passed since our last Top Venues Poll. The jazz venue landscape has changed dramatically, with some clubs closing and many new ones opening their doors—including six recently in New York City.
Help us identify the world's top jazz venues today. To vote, select up to ten venues where you most enjoy hearing live jazz, then click the SUBMIT button.
Tip: Enter the first few letters of a venue's name, then SELECT it from the list. Our database includes nearly 18,000 venues worldwide, so chances are your favorites are already listed (e.g. Village Vanguard, Dakota, Green Mill, PizzaExpress, etc.). Please be patient while results load. All votes carry equal weight.
There are no right or wrong answers—vote for the venues that have given you the most memorable live jazz experiences.
Thank you for participating, and please consider sharing this page with a jazz-loving friend.
