This is one of the best “real” jazz venues in Australia. If you're into jazz make certain you pay a visit. Check their website for what's on because they occasionally play hard jazz only for the hard core aficionados but mostly you'll be alright. Wednesday's Bobstretch is always good.

We caught the last bopstretch. It’s not the best ventilated place, but we were there for the music. Charge is $30 not $25, so just take note. You can buy food and then bring it in. Gig started after 8pm, closer to 8:30pm and doors open at 7:30pm.

Not a very good vibe, the cover charge was way too much for the band who decided to have a chat before starting 30 minutes late, and breaking after 20 mins. The seating is horrible and the booth is hard as a rock, it’s way too narrow to sit on it’s so uncomfortable and it’s at. 90degree angle to the stage so it hurts your neck. It’s weird to see it’s been open for so long as it looks like a pop up that had not much effort put in. They don’t serve any non-alcoholic drinks despite that being a very socially acceptable thing, we enjoyed mocktails and heaps normal beer and plus minus wine at other venues on our way to watch the band and were stuck with nothing to drink on an uncomfortable bench with a band who’s drummer seemed more interested in talking about himself than playing music and got charged $30 each for the experience. Disappointing

Excellent small live music venue, cosy and close to band.Accessibility - large No. of steps. Couldn't see lift, ask venue if unsure.

Awesome vibe and venue, perfectly lit to let the music roll over you in a very cosy and intimate space.Lovely and friendly staff and an interesting menu really makes this place stand out as a venue to go, sit back and chill in.Caught a band and got a free bowl of miso soup with my door charge! Warm soup with warm jazz. Love it!

Consistently a great experience. Quality local and international artists. Wonderful staff and drinks options. Cozy vibe with vintage B&W films before the show. This is a great place to chill and become absorbed in a different world. We love it, thanks team.

I love Uptown Jazz Cafe. I was there again last night to hear the Mark Fitzgibbon Trio; brilliant! Whenever you go, you know you will hear some of the best instrumental jazz and improvising musicians in the country. The vibe is authentic, 80s, 90s, Fitzroy cool; remember when the only things in Brunswick Street were the Black Cat and Mario’s! Music lovers paradise!!

Fast bebop jazz with four truly remarkable musos, guitar, alto saxophone, drums and double bass. Frantic , fast, tight and well balanced, innovative and free ranging: all good jazz should be this good. It’s a cosy venue with a small but valued drinks list. Drop into this one when your jazz fiend friend needs a hit.
