Live Jazz
Molly is Canberra's home of live jazz.
Four nights a week, the bar fills with some of the city's best musicians - solo piano on Tuesdays, a late-night pro jazz jam on Wednesdays, rotating guest artists on Thursdays for Take Five, and Straight, No Chaser running hard bop to fusion on Fridays, with smoky vibes, strong drinks, and a little late-night debauchery.
Free entry every night. Walk-ins welcome, bookings are highly recommended.
Tuesday night piano jazz
Tuesdays from 8.30PM
Settle in for an evening of piano jazz performed by Molly resident Micah Knight.
Pro Jazz Jam
Con Campbell’s band take the stage each week and curate a level of improv Chicago-style pro jazz never before seen in Canberra. Professional instrumentalists, vocalists, supporters, and bar guests all are welcome.
Wednesdays from 8.30PM
Take Five
Take Five brings a rotating cast of Canberra's best trios and quartets for a night of proper jazz and good drinks.

Straight, No Chaser
Every Friday night, Molly turns the lights down and lets the band take over at Straight, No Chaser. Expect a soundtrack of high-energy jazz including hard bop, soul-jazz, latin jazz, gritty fusion, and even some cheeky jazzed up pop covers to keep the room buzzing while the drinks are flowing.
