Auckland Jazz & Blues Club holds a weekly jazz night at the Birkenhead RSA, on Recreation Drive in Birkenhead, Auckland. The club was formed around 1992 and has around 250 members. Concerts run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm on Tuesday evenings, with a half-time break. Each night features a different local or out-of-town band, and the website says an international star sometimes appears. The restaurant downstairs is open from 5pm to 8.30pm, with meals available before the concert and full bar service. Parking is ample and off-street, and the website advises arriving early to get a seat.
Entry is $25 for non-members and $15 for members of the club and the RSA, as at 2026. Payment is by cash only, and non-members must register at entry. An optional $2 raffle supports young jazz students. Customers say the music is great, with a different group each week, and describe the venue as an atmospheric place to hear jazz. One reviewer rates the food only moderately. Our pick in Birkenhead for a weekly night of live jazz.
