Australia has a number of cities that are worth visiting, and Melbourne in particular is exceptional for those looking for the hottest music spots in the city. Melbourne’s live music scene thrives in small bars, basements and laneways where jazz and soulful sounds shape the city after dark.

Jazz Venues Close to The City’s Core

Some of Melbourne’s most respected jazz clubs are easy to reach for travellers staying at hotels like the Avani Melbourne Jazz Corner Residences. Intimate venues with nightly live performances are usually easy to get to on foot or with a short ride for guests staying at an apartment hotel in Melbourne.

Laneway Bars with Character

You will be able to find many a bar hidden behind unmarked doors and narrow streets. Many such establishments provide close-up performances and relaxed seating. These spots feel like natural parts of the neighbourhood rather than places you need to plan around.

Music That Goes Beyond Jazz

Many venues attempt to mix jazz with soul, funk and blues, creating varied evenings that suit different tastes and styles. These crossover performances are a great example of Melbourne’s creative music culture and keep nights feeling fresh and unpredictable.
