Badenscher Hof – Jazz like being yelled at

Are you into really, really, really loud music? You'd just love to get deaf at early age? You enjoy music when it's all blended together like in a big ol' stew? 

Then go visit a jazz concert at Badenscher Hof. You'll be all abuzzed!

To be honest, you can also go there if you are already deaf, because you can feel the music! If you are into piano music, however, don't go there. During the rare moments that you can hear the piano in the whole mash it sounds somewhat thin. 

Now the positive things: The staff is friendly and attentive, the place is suitable for having a drink or a snack, and as I said, if you like it loud you will probably love the music. Many people do, as tells us a quick search on qype.

We left the place ten minutes after the concert had started. When we hit the subway my friend said "I'm so glad not to be yelled at anymore!"

A-Trane – Jazz, great Atmo and Pretzels

Situated not far from Savignyplatz, A-Trane offers the perfect setting for a relaxed and fun evening with classy live music.

They have excellent staffing, friendly, quick and professional, and around 11 p.m. the "Pretzel Man" arrives with a basket full of the southern German speciality.

Around this time it also gets really crowded, so that it  might become hard to squeeze in. The audience is international, locals and tourists, with an age range from 16 to 70+.

On Mondays you can enjoy the inspirational, delightfully unconventional arrangements of Andreas Schmidt & Friends who seem to have found the perfect conjuction of music and humor. It is fascinating to observe how the band manages to draw a smile on people's faces.
