About
Founded in 2025, One Flight Up is a fresh addition to New York City’s jazz scene, located at 108 Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan. Despite its recent opening, it has quickly gained respect by featuring seasoned jazz pianists like Peter Zak and Bennett Paster. While it lacks a long vintage history, it has become a go-to spot for jazz enthusiasts seeking new venues after many older clubs closed.
The venue's atmosphere is stylish yet warm, featuring exposed brick and elegant bar staging. Acoustics are finely tuned for piano trios and intimate combos. The club offers two tiers of bar seating—prime and standard—each with different cover charges, catering to both serious jazz listeners and casual visitors.
One Flight Up operates primarily in the evenings, with performances typically starting at 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM. The venue draws a mix of serious jazz listeners, romantic couples, and downtown professionals looking for focused musical evenings. Reservations are recommended, especially for prime seating, but walk-ins are possible depending on the show's popularity.
