Haha. Jazz 257 Songdo Central Park Branch (재즈257 송도센트럴파크점) is in Building D of Artfore by Central Park Station. The area around Artfore was sooo pretty >_< It was especially atmospheric at night! ![Nighttime scenery around Artfore](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-01-1r7cx-900.webp) ![Around the Artfore building by Central Park Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-02-oyskp-900.webp) Head up to the second floor of Artfore Building D, and there is Jazz 257, a great restaurant by Songdo Central Park! Haha. ![Jazz bar entrance on the second floor of Artfore Building D](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-03-6n5np-900.webp) ![Exterior of Jazz 257 Songdo Central Park Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-04-15wmm-900.webp) Jazz 257 has been open for over five years and has become one of Songdo's signature jazz bars. It hosts jazz performances by some of Korea's top musicians. The dishes made directly by its foreign chef are impressive too, so you can have a delicious meal along with a jazz performance. ![Space for enjoying jazz performances and dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-05-1l6h4-900.webp) ![Dining and performance space at Jazz 257](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-06-1995t-900.webp) ![Performance-viewing area inside Jazz 257](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-07-11pkd-1200.webp) ![Interior atmosphere of a Songdo jazz bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-08-muyqf-900.webp) ## A lake-view setting for anniversaries and gatherings The interior was decorated so beautifully too! Haha. It looked perfect for an anniversary or a group get-together. There was actually a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary when we visited; the staff lit sparklers and took photos for them, and it looked like it would be an unforgettable anniversary, haha. The view of Songdo Lake made for such a gorgeous atmosphere! Haha. We reserved for 7:30 p.m. on Friday! Haha. The performance ran from 8 to 10 p.m., so it was great to watch while having dinner, haha. ![Jazz performance viewing area on a Friday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-09-1743o-920.webp) ![Inside the jazz bar before the performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-10-gp38k-910.webp) ![Jazz bar seating with a lake view](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-11-1wfok-904.webp) ![Jazz bar space during the evening performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-12-1p9md-909.webp) ![Seats for enjoying dinner and a performance together](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-13-fvh55-909.webp) ![Interior view of a Songdo lake-view jazz bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-14-wbida-906.webp) ## Ordering stone steak and wine Jazz 257 sells main dishes including steak and pizza, plus a variety of wines and whiskies. On weekdays from 5 to 8 p.m., it has unlimited wine for happy hour, which wine lovers would really enjoy, haha. We ordered the stone steak and one glass each of white and red wine. ![Ordered stone steak and wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-15-q9twl-900.webp) ![Ordered white and red wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-16-1ro7d-900.webp) A staff member carefully poured our wine. ![A glass of wine poured by a staff member](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-17-hwnka-900.webp) Cheers before the main dish arrived~ Haha. Both the white and red were delicious, haha. Every table has something like a snow globe, and they were so pretty, haha. Our table had a cute turtle, hahaha. ![A table with a turtle snow globe](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-18-1es5o-900.webp) ## Flaming stone steak with the performance Before the show began, the musicians started tuning their instruments. I was so excited to hear what the jazz quintet would play tonight, haha. Once the performance started, our stone steak arrived too! Hahaha. They put on a spectacular flame performance! Hahaha. It was so fascinating and fun, haha. ![Stone steak with a flame performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-19-cbc3i-900.webp) ![Stone steak served during the performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-20-pymzl-900.webp) Doesn't the steak on the hot stone look sooo appetizing?! Hahaha. The steak arrived nearly rare, with just the outside seared. The stone was extremely hot, so I loved being able to cook it to my preferred doneness, haha. It was a moist steak with a real charred aroma on the outside! Haha. So delicious!! ![Rare steak on a hot stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-21-k2lum-900.webp) ![Steak cooked to your preferred doneness](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-22-1u966-900.webp) We grilled the garnishes properly too, and why were they so delicious? Hahaha. Since the stone stayed hot, it was nice that we could keep everything warm, haha. ![Steak garnishes grilled on the hot stone](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-23-y7q2x-900.webp) ![Steak and garnishes enjoyed warm](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar/songdo-jazz-lakeview-wine-jazzbar-24-1bgqn-900.webp) ## A jazz quintet filling Friday night Needless to say, the jazz performance was so good >_< Being able to enjoy this caliber of performance every day!! Hahaha. I truly loved it so, so much, haha. Friday night slowly came alive as we listened to the joyful playing. The vocalist had such a beautiful tone too~ Haha. I was absorbed in that soothing voice throughout the performance~ Jazz 257 was so, so lovely for enjoying delicious food and a jazz performance in a wonderful setting while looking over Songdo Lake!! Haha. I totally recommend Jazz 257 for an anniversary or a special day—it would be even better then!
