Upstairs at Ronnie's is the 140-capacity live-music room above the legendary Ronnie Scott's at 47 Frith Street in Soho, reopened in February 2026 after a year-long redesign. Purpose-built acoustics, a D&B and Yamaha audio system, a Yamaha S3X grand piano and tiered cabaret seating put the audience right on top of a compact, voice-led stage. It mirrors the main club's two-shows-a-night format while broadening the palette beyond jazz into soul, R&B, gospel, hip hop and classical, with Late Late Shows Thursday to Saturday, a Wednesday vocal-jazz jam and Sunday afternoon sessions.
