About About the place

The Mahogany Room, now operating as Straight No Chaser, is a small, unassuming jazz venue in Cape Town celebrated for its high-quality musical performances. Seating approximately 40-60 people, the club offers a focused listening experience with a self-serve bar and attentive, yet unobtrusive staff. While it doesn't serve food, nearby Diva's Pizza provides a convenient dining option. The venue is cash-only and prioritizes the music above all else, creating a space for dedicated jazz enthusiasts. It is often favorably compared to renowned jazz clubs internationally.
