Jazzhaus Heidelberg

Heidelberg, Germany

Jazzhaus Heidelberg is exactly what it sounds like: a jazz club in a centuries-old vaulted cellar at the foot of Heidelberg Castle. The space used to be a brewery back in the 17th century, which honestly explains a lot about the vibe. It's split into three rooms: bar area, front room, and the concert room. Small, intimate, and a little bit old-school in the best way. The club has been around since April 2000, growing out of an earlier jazz club from 1993. Today they host around 150 concerts a year, mostly modern jazz, but also soul, blues, R&B, rock, and Kleinkunst. So there's a decent chance you'll find something that hits, even if you're not a jazz purist. One thing to know: they don't have regular opening hours. The place only opens for announced events, so you actually have to check the program and plan ahead. Tickets are available online, and if you're feeling extra committed, you can become a member and get discounted prices. People who've been describe it as cozy, proper, and on…
