Asa-Khai Jazz Club

Live performances range from classic and modern jazz to swing, funk, blues, pop jazz and Latin sounds. Jazz musicians from Turkey and abroad perform from 8:30 p.m. every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Red velvet details, dark wood and dim lighting make the room warm and intimate. Limited seating keeps listeners close to the musicians.

Asa-Khai Jazz Club's round stage decoration, edged with bulbs, shines in front of red curtains. Saxophone, keyboard and drums occupy a small area, with tables directly opposite. Brick walls and low lighting make the interior warmer. Sitting this close to the instruments makes the concert feel more personal than one in a large hall.

Asa-Khai Jazz Club receives positive feedback from jazz enthusiasts thanks to its central location, intimate hall with high ceilings, good acoustics, and quality live music programming. Staff professionalism and cocktails are frequently praised, and themed events—such as Cuban nights—draw significant interest. However, there are also opinions noting a limited cocktail selection, a sparse snack menu, and some underwhelming drinks. Views of the stage can be obstructed from tables on the upper floor, and the single, narrow staircase leading to the basement level has caused concerns regarding safety and accessibility. It is noted that reservations guarantee entry but not specific table placement; those wishing to see the stage clearly would do well to inquire about the seating layout in advance.
