Budapest Jazz Club rolls into 2026 with a packed calendar and a promise: great sound, real atmosphere, and live sets from homegrown talents and world stars. Tucked between a nostalgic café and a modern bistro at 1136 Budapest, Hollán Ernő u. 7, the club is a daily hangout as much as a night spot. Concerts start at 20:00, while the wildly popular jam sessions run Tuesday to Saturday from 22:00. Friendly staff, a cozy coffeehouse, and bistro plates round out the experience. Organizers reserve the right to change times and programs.
