About Wax Music Lounge

Basement stairs right off Flinders Street lead into an unpretentious vinyl lounge with serious audio pedigree. An audiophile setup anchors the room—where the owner roams the floor mid-set to dial in sound levels by hand. Seven nights a week, the subterranean space shifts between Monday jazz sets, resident vinyl DJs, and dance nights without CBD drink markups. Regulars drop in for early happy hour grapefruit spritzes, a quick game on the pool table, or a dig through crates in the attached record shop. Plush seating and low lighting keep the room intimate, while bartenders steer custom pours tailored to the night's mood.

  • Nightly Live Audio: Features an audiophile sound system and live programming seven nights a week, from Monday jazz to vinyl DJs.
  • Subterranean Hangout: Underground lounge setup with mood lighting, comfortable seating, and an in-house pool table.
  • Attached Record Store: An integrated record shop right inside the venue lets patrons browse vinyl while waiting for shows or drinks.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, live performance volume, and lounge amenities directly opposite Flinders Street Station.

  • Visit for Monday Night Jazz

    Head downstairs across from Flinders Street Station on Monday evenings if you want to catch their signature live jazz residencies in an intimate setting.

  • Expect High Volume on Gig Nights

    During live DJ sets and band shows, audio levels can run loud enough that you may need to raise your voice to chat; visit on non-gig evenings for quiet drinks and calm conversation.

  • Browse Records and Grab the Pool Table Early

    Arrive early to browse the attached record shop while waiting for friends, or secure a round around the lounge pool table before the room fills up.
