Melbourne Insider's Take
Hand-picked by our editors · Updated 4 weeks ago

DOLLY, tucked under Bourke Street, feels like one of those places you stumble on in Paris or New York: plush, a bit mysterious and always buzzing with the city’s jazz crowd. The acoustics are spot on, the lighting is low and warm, and the whole place hums with anticipation once the band starts up. Locals know these Saturday sessions are a sharp step up from your standard dinner-and-music combo: it’s clear the team here care about both the sound and the menu. If you love live jazz but want something more special than a bar gig, this is for you. It’s best for couples, small groups or anyone who wants a proper night out in the CBD with a sense of occasion. The four courses and matched wines mean you settle in for the evening-no need to plan anything else.

Where to eat
Grab a pre-show cocktail at Nick & Norau2019s, just 2 minutesu2019 walk on Little Collins Street.
Getting there

Insider tip
Smart casual dress fits the mood-think relaxed but polished.
