The Servant Jazz Quarters, Dalston, London 10 Bradbury Street,
Dalston, N16 What they say...The Servant Jazz Quarters is in
the heart of Dalston, on Bradbury street. Our raison d’etre
is to put on monthly parties with bands and djs. We came into
being because we exist under the backside of The Vortex Jazz
club... sometimes you can hear the lonely sax player rehearse
his scales on the fire escape stairs..we became the servants.
