Where is the jazz club in Tbilisi?
1984 Jazz Club, ჯაზი 1984 in Georgian, is at 37 Shota Rustaveli Avenue in Vera, on the city's main avenue. Its Instagram bio reads "Live jazz, every night in Tbilisi". The club describes itself as an old-school room with a different band every night, drawn from up to 30 resident musicians.
Rorame lists it open from 20:00 every night. It closes at 01:00 from Sunday to Thursday, and an hour later, at 02:00, on Friday and Saturday nights.
Its menu is on Rorame, and so is what guests say about it. Right now it is the only venue tagged jazz on Rorame; jazz venues in Tbilisi will show any that join it.
Where can you hear rock, metal or hip-hop live?
Paper Box, ფეიფერ ბოქსი, calls itself a music venue with a bar and kitchen. It is at 2 Aleqsandre Diuma Street in Vera, a restobar behind a painting in the Boxed Up building, and it books live gigs, tribute nights, album presentations, and hip-hop, metal and punk nights.
It reopened for a new season in September 2026 and is listed 20:00 to 01:00 every night. Ticketed nights usually cost 15 to 40 GEL, with free-entry parties now and then. Ticketed shows are 18+, and under-18s get in only with an adult.
The programme changes from night to night, so check the Paper Box page, or the Instagram it links to, before you go. The Paper Box menu is on Rorame, and everything tagged rock is under rock venues in Tbilisi.
Is there an open mic or poetry night in Tbilisi?
Drunk Poets Society, მთვრალი პოეტების საზოგადოება, is the bar for words. It sits in a brick building in the Tsekhi complex at 18 Queen Tamar Avenue in Didube, with a wooden terrace out front, a shelf of books above a mirror covered in handwritten notes, and nights of live music and stand-up.
It is open Tuesday to Sunday, 19:00 to 03:00, and closed on Monday. The bar has offered a free shot to anyone who writes it a poem, and reservations go through a DM on Instagram.
Rorame doesn't list a fixed weekly open-mic date for any venue right now. When a poetry, stand-up or open-mic night has a date, it goes on the events page with the venue and the time.
Which places have live music on a weeknight?
1984 Jazz Club and Paper Box are listed every night of the week, Monday included. Riser, რაიზერი, describes its weekday evenings as live music and its weekends as DJs and dancing. Here is the week as listed:
- Monday: 1984 Jazz Club and Paper Box, both 20:00–01:00. Drunk Poets Society and Riser are closed.
- Tuesday: the same two, plus Drunk Poets Society from 19:00 to 03:00.
- Wednesday and Thursday: all four, with Riser open 16:00–02:00.
- Friday and Saturday: 1984 Jazz Club to 02:00, Paper Box to 01:00, Drunk Poets Society to 03:00, Riser to 04:00 with DJs.

The two Vera rooms are about 1.5 km apart. Drunk Poets Society and Riser share an address on Queen Tamar Avenue, so in Didube one door leads to the next.
What time do live sets start in Tbilisi?
Bars open from about 18:00, and the city's live rooms usually start their first sets around 22:00, when the bars fill. A gig is the early part of the night here: clubs don't fill until after 01:00 and peak between 03:00 and 04:00.
A Tbilisi night runs from 18:00 into the morning, so 02:00 on Saturday still counts as Friday night. Rorame writes hours the same way: 1984 Jazz Club's Friday close at 02:00 falls in the early hours of Saturday.
When the band stops at one or two, there are two ways on. Find a bar that stays open in late-night bars in Tbilisi, or a dancefloor in where to dance in Tbilisi.
