Minton's Playhouse, Jazz club in Harlem, Manhattan, US.

Located at 210 West 118th Street, Minton's Playhouse features nightly live jazz performances in a restored historical building with high ceilings and period decor.

Henry Minton established this jazz venue in 1938, creating a space where musicians could experiment with new styles, leading to the development of bebop music.

The club served as a gathering place for influential musicians like Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie, who shaped modern jazz through their performances.

Minton's Playhouse operates daily from 6 PM to midnight, offering both dining services and live jazz performances in the heart of Harlem.

The venue earned recognition as a New York City landmark in 2023 and holds a position on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985.
