Pera 77

Live traditional and contemporary jazz, swing, blues, funk and world music. Concerts usually take place four days a week, Wednesday through Saturday, with established players and younger talent.

Warm light, a stylish bar and red and dark tones create a dim, intimate and thoughtful setting that keeps the performers close to the audience.

A gastro-jazz club operated under The Marmara Pera name, blending good food, a cocktail program and carefully chosen live performances.

Adult listeners around Pera seeking jazz, acoustic performances and a table near the stage.

Understated smart casual or elegant clothes fit the intellectual character of Pera.

After Pera 77's illuminated entrance sign, you come into a small room with red curtains and wooden details. Microphone, piano, drums and saxophone are placed close together on stage. Under warm lighting, the musicians' hand movements are easy to see. To move from conversation at your table to the piece on stage, all you need to do is turn your head.

Pera 77 is appreciated for its small, cozy venue, smoke-free environment, and jazz program that showcases both renowned and up-and-coming musicians. While live performances generally receive high praise, visitors also commend the staff for being polite and solution-oriented. The dining and bar experience is more inconsistent; there are recurring complaints that the pizzas, salads, and snacks are lackluster and the cocktails are poorly prepared. Issues such as incomplete service, reserved seats being given to others, and forgotten bottle orders have also been reported. The addition of a service charge—even when sitting at the bar—causes some annoyance. The musical experience is more reliable than the culinary one; it is advisable to make a reservation to secure a good table.
