Why Visit Alexey Kozlov Club?
Kozlov Club is one of the few venues in Moscow built around live jazz with a program on most days, so a visitor can plan an evening around a concert rather than a club night. The venue combines stages, a restaurant and a bar in one building near Kitay-Gorod, within walking distance of the old center.
The program covers jazz and related styles, from fusion to funk and blues, and the main stage is small enough for the musicians to be close to the audience. Because concert prices and times vary, check the schedule and book a table or ticket for a popular night in advance.
Highlights of Alexey Kozlov Club
The main stage
The main stage seats about 130 people and is used by the club's resident musicians and touring artists. Look for the seating around the stage. Check the schedule for the artist before choosing your night.
Tip: Book a table early for a popular artist.
The mansard stage
A smaller stage under the roof hosts regular performances and experimental programs of various genres. Check the program for the time of the first set.
Tip: Use the smaller stage for a more intimate show.
The daily live program
The club has a concert program on most days, covering jazz, fusion, funk, soul and world music. Check the schedule on the official site for the artist and the start time.
Tip: Choose the evening by the artist, not by the weekday.
The restaurant and bar
The venue has a restaurant and a bar, and the kitchen is run separately from the music program. A meal is not always required to see a band, but check the rules for your table. Check the menu when booking.
Tip: Ask whether a table requires a minimum order.
Jam sessions
A jazz directory lists jam sessions among the club's events, which let musicians play together after the main set. Check whether one is planned for your night.
Tip: Stay late for the jam if one is announced.
The location near Kitay-Gorod
The club is on Maroseyka Street in the old center, within walking distance of Kitay-Gorod and the Chistye Prudy area. See the walking itinerary for the neighborhood. Check the route on a map app.
Tip: Combine a walk through Kitay-Gorod with an evening concert.
Atmosphere
The club is a multi-level space of dark wood, warm lamps and tables facing small stages, where the sounds shift from a saxophone solo to the clatter of cutlery and quiet applause. The crowd is a mix of jazz fans, couples and groups of friends, and the main hall fills up before the evening’s first set.
On busy nights the stages upstairs run in parallel, and a visitor can move between the bar and the music until the early hours.
History of Alexey Kozlov Club
The Kozlov Club opened in May 2012 on the initiative of the ArtBeat foundation for contemporary music, which was co-founded by the jazz musician Alexey Kozlov, a music producer and a businessman. Its first home was near the Olympic Stadium on Olympic Avenue.
The club was relaunched on 31 May 2017 in partnership with the PubLife restaurant group and moved to its current building on Maroseyka Street in the center of Moscow. It now runs several stages, three of them in the main building, with a main stage of about 130 seats, and it hosts jazz, fusion, funk, soul and world music. The music program and the kitchen are run by two independent structures.
The club is named after the saxophonist Alexey Kozlov, a figure of Soviet and Russian jazz, who is neither the owner nor the manager. The current program should be checked on the official site, and this history is shorter than requested because few facts could be verified.

About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
