Local tips
- Arrive before the doors open on concert evenings if you want a table close to the stage; capacity is small and good seats go first.
- Bring a bit of cash in Danish kroner as some events may handle entrance fees and bar purchases more easily that way.
- Check the club’s current programme in advance; events tend to cluster in the autumn and winter season rather than every week year-round.
- Expect modest bar snacks at best and plan to eat dinner elsewhere in town before settling in for the evening concert.
- Bring ear protection if you are sensitive to sound; the room is compact and you will often be close to the band.

Discover more about Riverside Jazz Club
Jazz by the Water in Lolland-Falster’s Main Town
Riverside Jazz Club sits close to the water in Nykøbing Falster, the largest town on the islands of Lolland and Falster. Inside this modest venue, the focus is firmly on live music rather than flashy décor or big-city scale. A compact bar area flows into the low-lit performance space, where the stage feels almost within arm’s reach and the sound of brass, piano and brushed drums fills the room. The club was established by local enthusiasts who wanted a dedicated home for jazz on Falster, and that community spirit still defines the atmosphere. Regulars know one another, visiting musicians are quickly drawn into conversation, and newcomers are made to feel part of the evening rather than just spectators.Intimate Stage and Up-Close Performances
The layout is deliberately simple: a small raised stage, a scattering of tables and chairs, and walls often adorned with posters and mementos from past concerts. This pared-back setting means every performance feels close and direct. You hear the creak of the double bass, the intake of breath before a solo and the subtle interplay between musicians. Acoustics are tuned to suit unamplified or lightly amplified ensembles, so classic quartets and quintets work particularly well here. Lighting is kept soft and warm, framing the band without overwhelming the room, and helping the club retain a relaxed, conversational mood between sets.Seasonal Program and Musical Variety
Riverside Jazz Club is especially active in the colder half of the year, when indoor culture comes into its own in Denmark. Programmes typically span swing, bebop, cool jazz and more contemporary interpretations, often highlighting Danish bands alongside occasional international guests. Some evenings follow a traditional concert format with two focused sets; others lean toward themed nights or looser jam-style sessions where improvisation is front and centre. For many musicians on regional tours, the club functions as a valued stop that connects them with a dedicated local audience on Falster.Bar, Hospitality and Practical Details
A compact bar anchors the social side of the club. Expect a straightforward menu of beers, wine and simple mixed drinks rather than elaborate cocktails. Prices are generally moderate, keeping an evening out here accessible. Most events carry a modest entrance fee, which supports the artists and the volunteer-driven organisation behind the club. Capacity is limited, and that is part of the appeal. On popular nights seats can fill quickly, so timing can make the difference between a front-row table and standing at the back. Many evenings encourage guests to linger between sets, turning the bar area into a small social hub for local jazz fans.Local Context on the Edge of Guldborgsund
Stepping out of the club, you are in a harbour town whose history stretches back to a medieval castle and royal connections, with the waters of Guldborgsund shaping its character. The setting gives Riverside Jazz Club a subtle maritime feel, especially on crisp nights when you catch the scent of the nearby sound. Within the wider cultural life of Nykøbing Falster – with its museums, historic streets and seasonal events – the club adds a distinctly musical thread. It offers a reliable place to hear live jazz in an otherwise quiet corner of Denmark, making it a rewarding stop for travellers who appreciate intimate venues where the experience is built around the music itself.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
