Upstairs at Ronnie's
About This Spot
Stepping into Upstairs at Ronnie’s is like slipping into a secret gathering spot nestled above the bustle of Frith Street. The energy here pulses gently with anticipation — a lively yet intimate vibe that invites you to settle in and be part of an unfolding musical story. Whether you find a seat near the stage or join the spirited dance floor, the atmosphere never feels rushed, but rather a warm celebration of sound, community, and the moment.
This is a place where live music takes center stage, its rhythms filling the room and drawing smiles and nodding heads alike. The talent on show transforms the evening from simple night out into something a bit more memorable — whether a soulful jazz set or vibrant Latin beats that sweep the crowd into movement. The interaction between artists and audience here is quietly electric, creating human moments that linger long after the last note fades.
Upstairs at Ronnie’s carries a casual confidence that welcomes all, from those looking to lose themselves in the music to friends catching up over a drink. The bar serves up classic cocktails—like a well-made Old Fashioned—that complement the rich, textured sounds filling the air. And when hunger strikes, you’ll find hearty options like a perfectly cooked Rib Eye Steak that ground the experience in comfort without overshadowing the main attraction.
While the venue tends to draw a lively crowd and fills quickly, arriving earlier rewards you with a choice spot to enjoy the show without missing a single beat of the night’s unfolding rhythm. It’s a local gem tucked in Soho’s vibrant heart — not just a bar, but a gathering place where music, atmosphere, and moments come together in an effortless, understated harmony.

Our evening had a DJ playing music so the dance floor was packed. We arrived earlier to get a table because it gets busy very quickly. Great night with a great atmosphere. Terrible cocktails though

I didn't eat but from what I could see it looked fabulous- really enjoyed our evening here and will definitely visit again. All reasonably priced and the singing is superb great entertainment

I had a wonderful experience at Ronnie's. Everything was good, but when Luna Cohen came to stage something changed. Her voice, charm and energy gave life to the place. Please, bring her again.

Was a great evening not having been here before I was disappointed with the table arrangements. From sitting you cannot see the stage !! This was booked for me and not at all what I expected. A Jazz club playing all Latino? Yes it was good but I wanted to listen to Jazz. I'll look for another evening to go downstairs now.

Wow… the best Jazz club in soho! What else, wonderful music, wonderful artist! Live show! And amazing staff! Definitely my favorite place!

Great place for that late night jazz session whilst sipping a whisky. A true iconic place that lives up to its reputation - just go, you'll be glad you did !!

Depends on the seats you get. Though at a very reasonable price for a night out in London. Table service is really good. So is the sound acoustics

Great seating depending on the set up (large band, less SRO but that's fine for me), get in early to guarantee a seat. Great vibes. We went on a night with a great band! Staff had a hard time keeping up with the demand for their attention/the multiple orders. Special shoutout to Georgia for excellent service. FYI Door sales were cash only, and the nearest working ATM was at Tottenham Court Road.
