Servant Jazz Quarters

Specialties

Despite the name, we are not strictly a jazz club. SJQ has a history of hosting music events before opening as a fully licensed venue in February 2011. During this time, it was noted on many occasions that the saxophonist could be heard playing his warm up scales from the upstairs Vortex Jazz club. This inspired a notion to create our own sense of jazz from the depths below…

At ground level there is a well-​provisioned art deco bar serving a range of cocktails, specialty beers and ales, while the basement provides an intimate performance space.

Dedicated to music from many genres and supports innovative artists from all backgrounds, and particularly those from the Hackney area. The music program varies from night to night so you will need to check the website for updates on gigs and events. Expect an eclectic mix of music ranging from jazz, blues and folk to pop, world music and beyond.

We are available for private hire during the day and evening for private parties, photo-​shoots, art installations, meetings, workshops and ceromonies.

We have a small and classic sound system with effective outboard gear and 3 way onstage monitoring. If required the onstage sound can be rooted to the upstairs bar hi-​fi sytem. There is a unique viewing window directly above the stage allowing a great view of the band from upstairs. Although we have short term cancellations, we generally book 2 months in advance.
