Even though we arrived around 10 PM on a Tuesday evening, the place was quite crowded. We sat at a table with a limited view, which wasn't a problem. Cocktails started around 15 euros and weren't particularly tasty, but they were good enough. There was a band performing; the pianist and other musicians were particularly good, but the vocalists were making strange noises and constantly trying to jump into the music, killing many of the solos. It wasn't quite as good as I expected from a jazz club, I suppose because it was a free event on a weekday.
Incredible place for seeing some great jazz music live. Went there on a Monday where entry was free and the musicians were top notch. Plan ahead and queue at least 40 minutes before opening if want a good table. Service is French in nature but efficient enough. The atmosphere is the best thing about the place. It’s nothing like Caveau de la Huchette, which is incredibly touristy. You’ll find a proper jazz crowd at Le Duq, very quiet and respectful people. Seating is pretty close to the stage if you get there early enough, and the sound system/mixing is really good. There are even some TV screens for people who are not in good tables to still see the musicians on stage. Drinks are a bit on the pricey side but to be fair that happens in all of Paris. Can’t believe beer there is more expensive than in London, and nowhere as good.
The other night was straight‑ahead jazz at Sunset Jazz Club. Tonight? Avant‑garde at Le Duc des Lombards. The headliner, an up‑and‑coming artist named Macwood, sounded like Miles Davis bumping into Herbie Hancock during his fusion era. Right up my eclectic alley.
This is a bucket list experience -- a jazz club that is so intimate that you will think you are having sxx! I was virtually sitting on top of the drum kit. The room is the size of a small apartment; you are pretty much part of the band, I saw The Getdown play. As written up by TSFjazz the next day, these guys were truly "les princes de Paris." This is THE PLACE anywhere on the planet for a magical night of music. In the City of Lights, no less. Jim Morrison would enjoy, so will you (after all, you can visit his final resting place by a short ride on the metro). This place crushes it. Run, don't walk there.
Just a wonderful place to experience jazz! Recommend to get there early enough so you can catch a good seat. Price is really a reasonable for the level of musicians that you are listening to. That’s even a nice menu with reasonable drinks and appetizers. Everybody working there is quite kind as well.
