George Cables at Jazzcultural: November 14 Late-Show Guide
A 10:30 PM Manhattan plan: choose the right set, understand the extra costs, and arrive ready for seating.
A good fit if you want a dedicated late-night music plan, not a drop-in bar stop. Jazzcultural lists George Cables Birthday Celebration! for Saturday, November 14, 2026 at 10:30 PM, local New York time. The useful decision is whether that late start, a concert ticket and a drink commitment work for your evening. This guide follows that one Saturday set, rather than treating every date of the celebration as a separate recommendation.
Choose the 10:30 PM Saturday listing
Use the exact ticket link at the end of this guide and match the artist, venue, date and start time before paying. Jazzcultural schedules other performances around this one; a ticket for another set is not interchangeable. The official calendar links this performance to TicketWeb, but a Tickets button is not proof that seats remain. Live inventory, the event-specific checkout total and cancellation or refund terms were not independently confirmed. Recheck them when booking. No guest musicians or particular repertoire are promised here.
Read the total, not just the music charge
The venue's general visitor policy lists a $40 Studio music charge and a one-drink minimum per person; non-alcoholic drinks are available. That is venue-wide guidance, not a verified price for this birthday performance. Check its ticket checkout for the actual price and fees, and allow separately for the required drink. Do not treat the lower café/bar charge as equivalent admission to a Studio concert.
A ticket does not reserve a particular chair
Jazzcultural says ticket collection is will-call and seating is first-come, first-served. Keep your confirmation number handy. Its general policy opens seating 45 minutes before a show: 9:45 PM is a planning target for a 10:30 PM start, subject to the instructions on your ticket. Walk-ins depend on availability; do not build a time-sensitive evening around an unconfirmed seat.
One Manhattan address, not the downtown sister clubs
Go to 349 West 46th Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, Manhattan. Jazzcultural is associated with the operators of Smalls and Mezzrow, but those downtown addresses are not this concert venue. Its music-room-and-café concept pays tribute to Barry Harris's Jazz Cultural Theater. The map below pins Jazzcultural only. Leave a return-trip buffer after the late start; a finish time was not verified.
Before you commit
If the late start and separate drink cost suit you, check the exact Saturday listing next. If you need age-policy or step-free-access confirmation, obtain it from the venue before buying; neither is assumed here. Checked November 6, 2026 against the official calendar and visitor information. Recheck the show details before travel. The photograph shows the venue, not this future performance or its confirmed lineup.
