Live music in a stylish atmosphere
Why locals love it
Karabat is beloved by locals for gathering a top-notch assortment of Tehran's musical talent for nightly performances in genres ranging from jazz to rock and beyond. The centrally-located stage ensures maximum attention to the performer, and often creates a quiet, comfortable environment to soak in the music.
Why you should visit it
Karabat is perhaps the only cafe in Tehran offering recurring weekly performances to musicians in town. The programming has a heavy focus on jazz, but includes a healthy dose of folk and rock music for good measure. Patrons enjoy the centralized location of the stage, ensuring the performance is up-front and centre, for all to see.
Special tip
Karabat is one of the few places in Tehran with proper, palatable espresso-based coffee drinks.
