“A traveller who wants live music without committing to a full pub crawl does best asking at check-in for that week's specific schedule rather than assuming a session runs every night, since all seven of these hostels rotate music with other evening activities. Old-city properties like Shalom tend to draw a slightly more mixed crowd, useful for meeting travellers staying elsewhere, while C-Scheme's J Startup House leans more toward the property's own residents.”

Ask at check-in for the week's live music schedule, none of these seven hostels run sessions every single night.
Try Shalom if you want a mixed crowd, its old-city location near City Palace draws travellers staying at nearby properties too.
Catch Moustache's rooftop sessions for the Nahargarh Fort backdrop, it's a different setting than an indoor common room elsewhere.
Check Jaipur Jantar Hostel's schedule closely, it alternates live music with its stand-up comedy nights rather than running both.
Sit near Flamingos' outdoor fireplace during a music night if the weather allows, it's a warmer setting than most indoor sessions.
