15 Best Bars with Live Music in Tbilisi

The music at Choice never really stops. Live music, live performances and karaoke are the 3 things this Bambis Rigi lounge bar is listed as known for. Its own Instagram puts the DJs and the dance floor ahead of anything in a glass. The listing stacks up karaoke bar, club, cocktail bar and hookah bar, with a 4.9 from 1,696 reviews behind it. It's women-owned by its own account, and the doors run 4 PM to 4 AM every night.

Some bars decorate a room. L'Ado is a pet-friendly cocktail bar hidden inside a 130-year-old baroque mansion off Lado Gudiashvili Square, balcony included. A September bill put Alexandre Brelidze and the A.B.S band on at 9 PM, doors from 8 PM, tickets 25 GEL in advance and 30 GEL on the night. Weekends belong to DJs, who turn up in 20 review topics. Friday and Saturday run 7 PM to 4:30 AM, and the door is 21 and over, free before 11 PM.

This one sells height. Live performances sit on the listing beside rooftop seating, a beer selection, cocktails and a wine list. The bar's own first line is food and hookah with the whole city underneath, and 2,584 reviews put it at 4.8. Google's crowd labels here are groups and tourists. It runs 7 PM to 5 AM, so get there for sunset and stay until the city below is all lights.

Google's category here is live music bar, and the place describes itself as a horizontal collective with no bosses and no investors. Punk music tops its review topics at 14. There are 3 floors, a courtyard of grapevines you're asked to keep quiet after 11 PM, a vegan kitchen, a second-hand rail and film nights between the concerts. Hidden location comes up in 3 more topics, so give yourself a minute. Save it for the weekend, when it opens at 4 PM and runs to 1 AM.

Somewhere between a bar, a gallery and a museum, Impulse holds all 3 labels on Google and earns them. Live music runs through 22 of its review topics and live piano through 5 more, with art through the rooms and a courtyard that gets a topic of its own. The house around the lot is 300 years old, renovated by a father and son. Its 704 reviews average 4.8. Come when you want to hear the person opposite you, any day from 12 PM to 2 AM.

It's a cosy cocktail bar by its own description, and one of the few bars in Tbilisi where you hear more English than Georgian. The cocktails are built on Georgian pieces: smoked chacha, Svan salt, pinecone liqueur and craft gin from Flavora. Chess sits on the tables and there's a dog to pet. Google puts a night here at 10 to 40 GEL. Thursday is the music night, an open mic and jam with Epitaph for Underdogs from 8 PM, with one-off jazz and funk sets posted on Instagram.

UHAB is one man's project, written up on Google in the first person: a wine bar on Ivane Javakhishvili that doubles as a live music venue, built as a safe space for expats. Jazz and acoustic concerts, history lectures and candlelit karaoke fill the programme, and he makes a point of the sound quality. The room is labelled casual, cosy and quiet, and Google's popular-for line is solo dining, so nobody minds you arriving alone. Mondays are dark, and the rest of the week runs 4 PM to midnight.

Climb to the 2nd floor on Kote Afkhazi and the art deco starts at the door, balcony and all. Music nights are announced on Instagram: one Friday went Japanese city pop and fusion from 10 PM. Groove, soul, funk and disco, with the signature cocktail card running behind it. Its own listing leads with a Best Bar Award finalist spot from 2022. It opens at 6 PM and closes at 3 AM, every day but Monday.

Cross town for this one. Sheen Aura sits in the house and art studio of the Georgian artist Antimoz Gorgadze, out in Saburtalo, and its Google categories run to art gallery and winery alongside live music bar. Art, wine and live music in one evening is what the listing promises, and 9 review topics back the music up. It's open 1 PM to 12 AM every day, and 420 reviews leave it at 4.6. Come here when dinner matters as much as the band.

You'll be talking to the owner within a round. Friendly owner takes 11 review topics here, behind only the chacha itself at 15, and live music runs to 8. Sonder is a chacha bar on Kita Abashidze, and one reviewer calls it a place for music nerds and beer lovers, which is the clearest description anyone has managed. The week starts on Wednesday at 6:30 PM, opens at 6 PM from Thursday on, and ends at 2 AM every night.

Some bars hire the entertainment. At Kiki the owners are it, with 22 review topics to karaoke's 5, and reviewers name the manga-style decor and the dim light around them. Google has it down as a live music bar, a karaoke bar, a cocktail bar and a bubble tea store, all at 19 Ovanes Tumaniani. Its 110 reviews sit on a straight 5. Monday is the night off, and every other night runs 7 PM to 2 AM.

The bill changes nightly and goes up on Instagram days ahead: a quartet on Saturday, the Beatles in jazz on Monday, a hip-hop night with 6 players on it. Live jazz starts at 10 PM every night at 1984, on Rustaveli, and Google marks reservations as required. Tickets run 30 to 50 GEL online, 40 to 60 GEL at the door and 20 to 30 GEL standing. Buy the seated one: one reviewer warns that standing puts you at the back of the room with nothing to lean on.

The Embassy is honest about its music: its own description calls the live-music evenings occasional, and karaoke picks up 5 review topics. What it has every night is a room that talks to you: 7 review topics for welcoming staff, 3 for a friendly barman and 2 for chatting to the owner. It sits in the old town's pedestrian quarter, just by Sioni Cathedral, and rates 4.9 from 129 reviews. Every day starts at 5 PM and ends at 1 AM, with an extra hour on Friday and Saturday.

Bar 36 pitches itself in a single line: a mixed bar for anyone who likes tasty food, beer and watching sport, with DJs partying at the weekend. The highlights on the listing run bar games, a great beer selection, great cocktails, live performances and sports. It's a casual room on Ivane Machabeli with free Wi-Fi, dogs allowed and solo dining among the things it's popular for. Doors open at 7 PM daily and shut at 2 AM, or 4 AM on Friday and Saturday, which makes it a second-half bar.

Graali turned 4 in March 2026 and spends its calendar on themed weeks. An Italian week in August gave every cocktail on the special menu its own snack, an Asian week in July put ramen on the terrace, and Ukrainian weeks ran through May. Underneath that the week is fixed: a supra every Tuesday, grill nights, and Friday DJs from 9 PM. The bar runs 5 PM to 2 AM, 3 AM at the weekend. Check the Instagram first: the themed weeks come with their own menus.
