Why it's worth checking out
Bird's Basement sits on Singers Lane in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. A celebrated jazz club, it's become a genuine fixture of the city's live-music scene — hosting quality jazz and live performances in an intimate, atmospheric underground setting, the kind of special venue that jazz lovers and music fans seek out.
The appeal is that combination of excellent live jazz, an intimate and atmospheric club setting and a central city location, ideal for a special night out, a date or a memorable evening of live music. A genuine, dedicated jazz club is a real treasure, and Bird's Basement's quality program and atmosphere have made it a beloved destination for live music in Melbourne.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,400 reviews, it's clearly valued by its audiences. The live-music program, show times, ticketing, any dining and opening hours vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up and booking directly before you go — particularly for a specific act or a popular show — while looking forward to a memorable night of live jazz at Bird's Basement.
