The Basement

Haven't been to see a gig here yet but visit often for after work drinks and would definitely recommend. Really good location close to Wynyard and Circular Quay, nice place to sit outside as the area is pedestrianised so you're not right next to the main road. Good selection of beers, really friendly staff and table service which is a really nice extra.

Absolutely love this place, I've been going for years, part of the fabric of Sydney night life. The size means that any gig is intimate, I've seen local and big name overseas acts here ( Luka Bloom was possibly one of the best). I recently listened to live jazz bands and it was all accompanied by a fab meal and wines. Highly recommended and close to public transport so don't even attempt to take your car.

We went on Monday Jam Night and it was awesome! I love how small and intimate this venue is, but it sure does go off! It may give a very hipster vibe but it caters to all, creating such a great vibe. Will have to definitely go back there for more gigs!

Classic Sydney jazz club, gets awesome local and internation gigs including lots of big names. Cool venue, good bar, decent food options. Opt for the dinner and show package to guarantee a seat at a table as a bit of a special occasion, or turn up early enough and nab a bar stool if you want a seat for the show.

A bit "old" for our liking, but quite nice atmosphere.
