Subscribe The Best Jazz Bars in Sydney for a Night of Soulful Tunes
It’s not hard to see why jazz bars are having a resurgence in Sydney. Smooth and soulful, there’s nothing like a live jazz band to soothe the spirits.
Whether you prefer a lazy Sunday relaxing to the smooth sounds of live jazz with a schooner in hand, or you prefer a midweek jazz bar jaunt to revive your spirits ahead of the weekend, Sydney really has every kind of vibe covered.
From upbeat tunes at your local pub to soulful beats in an underground hidden bar, here are our top picks for the best of Sydney’s jazz bar scene.
The Old Fitzroy Hotel
The Old Fitzroy Hotel in Woolloomooloo is ‘Puttin’ on the Fitz’ every Sunday afternoon with a revolving lineup of jazz performers from 2pm. Better yet, Sunday arvo Jazz conveniently coincides with The Old Fitzroy’s Sunday roast, so you can enjoy the tunes while you dig into pork belly roast with crackling, Maryland chicken or a vegetarian roast fit for a king (or queen).
129 Dowling Street, Woolloomooloo
