Bird’s Basement™ is the embodiment of the jazz spirit exemplified by New York’s legendary Birdland, with which it shares a strong association. The aim of the venue is to provide a constantly changing line-up of world class performers in a world class setting. Bird’s Basement is a purpose built club with amazing acoustics – no matter where you sit you are guaranteed a great audible experience. And matching the great music is delicious modern-Italian food, with a fine choice of wines, beers and spirits. While Bird’s Basement is a jazz club in the traditional sense of the term, our programming is eclectic and includes Jazz, R&B, Funk, Pop and Rock. We only present the top tier of each category and have already established an enviable and solid reputation for the quality of our artists and our exceptional venue. And Bird’s Basement now shares the site with The Jazz Corner Hotel™ upstairs; together, they make up The Jazz Corner of Melbourne – your choice of great music, entertainment, food, drink and accommodation all in one location.
