About this tour
When Lily from our team booked into 58th Street, we found ourselves in a slick recreation of 1930s New York tucked into London's nightlife. This is a three-and-a-half-hour evening that pairs live jazz from The 58th Street Stompers with a six-course menu by chef Ash Clarke, threaded through with cabaret and theatrical moments. The vibe is proper glamour — art deco, dimmed lights, the works — and the crowd runs to date nights, groups after work, and anyone after a theatrical night out rather than just a gig.
Highlights
- Six-course tasting menu keeps pace with live sets, no dead stretches
- The Stompers' musicianship is the real draw—genuinely tight ensemble
- Vintage staging and costume work lifts it above standard dinner-theatre
- Two intervals let you stretch and chat without losing momentum
- Accessible entry and nearby public transport make logistics straightforward
- Burlesque and theatrical interludes vary the energy between courses
- Intimate enough to catch the musicians' banter and mistakes
What to expect
Lily arrived to find the room already warm with pre-show chatter. You're seated, drinks arrive quickly, and the first course lands before the band strikes up. The pacing works—food doesn't pile up cold while you're watching a solo, and the sets don't drag on while you're forking through a plate. The cabaret moments feel integrated rather than bolted on, and the costumes suggest thought rather than just sequins for show. Two intervals give your feet and ears a breather; we used them to chat and move around the room. The whole thing runs snug within the three-and-a-half hours—no padding, no rushing. The vintage setting is convincing without being theme-park cheesy.
Worth noting: this is sit-down, so if you're hoping for a dance floor or standing-room energy, this isn't it. The crowd is mature and the room fills quickly, so booking ahead isn't optional. Lily found the six courses substantial—go hungry, but don't expect you'll want much after.

Good to know
If you like live music, theatre staging, and decent food in one room without choosing between them, this lands it. Couples, groups celebrating something, and anyone after an evening that feels a bit special will find it hits the mark. The production values are high enough to justify the price. Wheelchair users and parents with prams have proper access, and the nearby public transport means you're not hiring a cab to get there.
Three-and-a-half hours is a long sit—if you fidget or have mobility concerns beyond wheelchair access, flag that. The menu is fixed, so dietary requirements need confirming well ahead. It's not cheap, and drinks are separate from the admission price, which can add up. The room fills, so if you prefer quiet dinners, the buzz might feel crowded. Kids under about 14 will likely find it dull. Peak times are weekends; weekday slots are usually calmer.
