Servant Jazz Quarters opened its doors in February 2011 as a music venue with a classic bar. At ground level there is a well-provisioned art deco bar serving a range of cocktails, specialty beers and ales, while the basement provides an intimate performance space.

SJQ is dedicated to music from many genres and supports innovative artists from all backgrounds, and particularly those from the Hackney area. The music program varies from night to night so you will need to check the website for updates on gigs and events. Expect an eclectic mix of music ranging from jazz, blues and folk to pop, world music and beyond.
