Budapest Jazz Club rolls into 2026 with a packed calendar, live sets from Hungarian greats and global names, and a concert hall wired with top-tier tech. Tucked at 1136 Budapest, 13th District, Hollán Ernő u. 7., the venue doubles as an old-world café and a sleek bistro worth a daytime stop even before the music kicks off. Concerts start at 20:00, while the wildly popular jam sessions run Tuesday to Saturday from 22:00. Table bookings and info are available via the club’s contacts; organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs.
