Reviews of Ain't Nothin But The Blues Bar

A. C.

The jam night on Monday 28 Feb was absolutely awesome. I have never seen so many high quality musicians in one venue. The quality music demands a larger venue but the intimacy of this place makes it all the more special. I will return, and urge anyone to visit this superb blues Bar.

I. S.

Been here many times and every time had an awesome night! Excellent acoustics! Just wish there was a better selection of food/snacks available.

B. W.

Never disappoints, jamm sessions are very exciting and the bands are always outstanding. It has a few tables where you can sit and relax listening to the blues, but it's very likely the rhythm will eventually catch you and you'll get up and dance!

F. S.

Loved it! A great grungy vibe and everything we were looking for. The live music was amazing and we had a great night. Make sure you check out the cool themed decor as well as the murals downstairs. Bathrooms are located downstairs.

M.

Great music and great atmosphere. I’ll definitely go back 😊👌🏻

A.

Amazing bar! I moved to London recently and struggled to find some good bars, me and my friend came across this one by accident and so glad we did!! Brilliant live music, lovely atmosphere and great staff and bouncer was lovely!! Wish it was bigger though as venue is small and wish there were more places to sit!! nevertheless i’ll be looking forward to going here more often and will definitely recommend this place to friends !

R.

Crowded with people anger to listen blues music. Good atmosphere and better music. The only problem is about the size of the place. There are some tables outside as well, but yet little space for the people, specially in the late evening. Friendly staff, from the doorman to the waiters. Worth a visit of course!!

D.

This is one of the best bars I've ever been to. I went there two nights in a row and saw four bands in total. Each band was fantastic. It's a small venue but that makes the atmosphere very special. The service was super quick and the drinks were very competitively priced. The next time I'm in London I'll be back for sure!

P. P. (. P.

Fantastic live music and drinks were very cheap for this part of London. Highly recommended (you don’t need to dress up - it’s very casual). We will be back.

A. M.

Best live music bar in London. The chances are you may not see the band unless you get on early, but that don't matter because this place rocks the blues. Great selection of drinks served by attentive staff. Not too shabby at all.

C. P.

Back to basics in the new normal. Hadn't been since pre-lockdown 1.0. Numbers are well managed thanks to friendly door team, usual two in two out on a busy and lively night. Great selection of bevys served by attentive bar crew and bluesy classics from the band on stage.

M.

Great music and great atmosphere. I’ll definitely go back 😊👌🏻

T. P.

Cracking night with the Jim Hammond Trio at the best blues bar in London. Always good beer, good company and great music at ANB!

C. W. V. H.

Can’t beat live music in a small intimate venue. I’ve been coming occasionally for 10-15 years pre COVID-19 staying till 2.00 am dancing in a really friendly tight crowd. Last night easy conversations with our neighbours and touchingly sensitive Covid conversation with waiters “how do you feel about 3 people joining table “ yes I want to agree just explaining I was a bit uncomfortable…immediately the waiter gently respectfully eased back..simply no pressure. We later complimented him on this..and tipped both the band and staff generously to acknowledge the great music and atmosphere . Warm thanks to everyone crowd, musicians and staff., the beer was delicious. The blues musicians/music is so rich. CH

A. D.

Well, this in is The most iconic Soho place that I have been visited this year. Nothing but Blues bar is one great music lover place for both listeners and players. Great exchange of the musicians on stage, all of them great ones. The bar it self is just perfect. All blues minus the heat and smoke stench. Bar is great, bartenders are friendly and that draws great crowd. Recommendations from depth of my soul.

M. c.

It was my first ever visit and it was amazing!We were able to get seats and a table so it was nice to be at the frontseat. The best part of this is you get to listen to different talented musicians, live! You wouldn't know what to expect until they start playing and singing. There was a guy who played the sax and BOYYY he blew the roof off the joint! Will definitely come back

M. S.

Probably the best live music venue in London, every night hosting talented artists. Even though it's quite small it has really cool vibe. Good selection of beers too.

C. C.

Loved this place .. my son took me out London evening of Jazz and Blues.. such a special place fun and more fun staff very quick behind the bar serving

M. K.

Love this place, always great Vibes, great music, super friendly crowd, you'll end up dancing promise you. Bar staff always polite and friendly and sometimes go on stage and perform.

i. p.

I had an absolute blast at this place! The band was off the chain!!!!! I live here in London, but come from Chicago. I have so missed the sounds of home, but this was the real deal. I was the only one dancing, but within half hour half the club were right there grooving with me. I am really not a big bar person, but have every intention to become a regular. Thanks for alleviating my home sickness!!!

A. T.

Nothing short of amazing ! Drinks and live blues … just one too is to get there a bit earlier and stay near the front for the best experience

E. F.

Really great bar! Exactly what we wanted in regards to the music. The only reason it isn't a 5* is because it's a smaller venue so really cramped and the staff behind the bar were incredibly moody - however the drinks were quick. Would really recommend

S. K.

Friend and I went last night after reading the reviews on here. Were we disappointed with the “blues” - no, the music was fantastic and created a wonderful atmosphere in the bar! HOWVER….the reviews told us to get there early to grab a table/ seats and also expect to wait in the queue - all fine with us. So, when we arrived last night at 20:10, we had to wait in line about 8 people in front of us, the queue moved quickly so after 15mins we were at the front. This is where two consecutive things happened that was just absolutely poor. Firstly, the bouncer signalled for us to enter (I know other reviews say the bouncer was rude, but that was not our experience) so we walk towards the door and it’s at this moment a man, who the bouncer later identified as the manager, speaks to him and says there are too many people in the bar don’t let anyone else in. Bouncer relays this to my friend and I, and we are 100% fine with this and make our way back to the queue - this is when the manager walks past us and says “don’t walk in without permission”?! A needless comment as we weren’t, passive aggressive. We were not loud, did not complain, not drunk! So we wait, probably another 5mins or so BUT by this point there are charging a £6 fee for entry!! Couldn’t believe it, did we pay - yes. We didn’t have a choice. Did this put a dampener on our night, truth be told yes (hence this rather long review). The music was worth it, and in large the staff were very polite and service was quick.

I. S.

Stumbled here by accident and was the best night of my trip to London. Great selection of beers, amazing music and a really intimate layout, very easy to make friends. Definitely going there again!

J. H.

What a fabulous experience. The band playing on 14/09 were amazing. Bartenders could do with customer care training though as they did not smile once. Although they sorted drinks quickly.

F. C.

Cool place! Very crowded so you need to squeeze in, beer selection is ok. They had some decent blues the night I went.

M.

A great little venue with a large atmosphere. Well worth a visit to see some live blues.

S. S.

Really great atmosphere with live music

H. W.

Wonderful place for live Blues and drinks, everynight from Monday to Sunday.

A. C.

Possibly the best music venue in London, definitely best if you have nothing planned, no reservations needed, great range of beer, always crowded, best to turn up before 9.

a.

My favourite bar in London, always a good vibe, friendly staff, ace musicians and great crowd. Authentic.

V. V.

. Cozy pub next to Carnaby street, with amazing atmosphere. Live music performances of proper blues, many beer and other drinks choices, friendly staff and people around! Would definitely recommend it to my friends and all, who wants quality music. They have musicians performances every night with a surprise note as there might be a gig of random people playing at once as well! 😍 ❤️ Ain't nothing but good vibes! Xx

N. V.

How we've missed the place! It was our first visit since Feb 2020 and we had a great night. The Ian Siegal Band were on top form and the new management are doing a good job, little has changed and that's a good thing!

C. D.

There was a great atmosphere here during the weeknight live music session I went to recently. Free entry and reasonably priced drinks. Highly recommended if you like blues.

V. M.

Great bar, great atmosphere and staff

C. B.

My favourite place in London to while away a Sunday afternoon listening to great blues jam sessions and hanging out with a friendly, eclectic crowd.

N. S.

Fantastic little place with amazing music. Only problem is it's so popular that normally it's pretty herd to get into!

T. D.

I showed up there late after late show at Ronnie Scott’s which is about a 5 minute walk from there, place was packed and it is a small venue, real good blues vibe band was great and interactive( my style), only issue was very few tables or places to sit, but the vibe was down and dirty blues so all is good, next time I’m around I will stop by earlier, I may try the live blues jam, they have them there on Sunday at 4pm

a. o.

Music every night (good music) and closes late. We Always had fun and regularly go back.

A. P.

An intimate bar that has constant rotating roter of independant blues bands and musicians. A must visit for anybody who likes the blues

C. J. M.

Lovely place to enjoy Blues in London and so close to Canarby street. Deserve 5 ⭐ and amazing staffs.

A. B. B. G.

It was a great place with great drinks and fantastic Blues music. Soda drink and beers have fantastic flavor. For us(european people) drinks were a little expensive.

S. C.

After many visits over the last 15 years we were amazed to see suble changes had really made the place top class.we arrived as the jam night started and it was well run and a great sound.

L. T.

Best live blues venue that you can find in London. Music is superb.

V. I.

Nice pub with small bands every night. Ice cold beer and very busy after 18:00 Some evenings there are more than one band playing and it's a good choice for a long night out. Good cocktails and prices are logical. Service is quite good and the hole atmosphere is warm and very relaxing.

P. M.

What a great venue to have a beer and hear some great jamming going on

K. B.

Always a great spot for some beers and the music is always brilliant. Definitely worth a visit

D. H.

One of the best nights I've had in London. Small but epic. And the live music was just unreal

J. A.

Always enjoy visiting Ain't Nothing But, great music and atmosphere.

V. J.

Good music. Good beer (not cheap). Good people and staff. Worth taking a look. Crowded and not much room. But cosy as hell.

J. M.

Get there early because it gets busy..music is great and so is the atmosphere

J. G.

Small pub in the very centre of Carnaby. They do live music (Blues, Jazz, rockabilly..) so if you enjoy this music, the place is a must. The only complains are that the place turns in a bit small during concerts, so if you feel bad in small and crowded places you are not going to enjoy. Anyway looks like they try their best to avoid this problem by limited access control. Beer is a bit expensive, but this is London downtown, so prices are also quite inevitable.

G. B.

Little gem I found while looking for a late night drinking hole near Oxford Circus. This one was open past midnight and very packed. Good selection of drinks and live music. It's very very packed, be prepared for that

P. Y.

This place rocks. Small and intimate, but awesome. Reasonable prices for drinks too. 🤟

l. v.

My favourite place to be. Great music , great people, great atmosphere.

A. V.

My mate from work introduced me to the place. What a place. Nice beer , the bar staf always helpful to cheer u up with chat ,, give a try .. love music. What else you need in central London. :-)))

J. A.

Very nice music! environment, just I wish it was a little bit bigger.

U. C.

One of the best jazz bar in central London.. If you live a pint over a jazz music please do yourself a favor and visit this place.. After 11 pm they have 6£ entry fee..

i. m.

What a great bar right in the heart of Soho. Went to see the band who played for 3 hours. Pit pricey but it is London and no admission charge so all in all well worth the visit. Great selection of beers and spirits.

J. L.

Great place with live music right off the Carnaby street. It is very cosy, with small tables, but very friendly stuff and enthusiastic crowd. I like it and I am going to visit again :) thanks guys!

C. A.

I loved this bar. Very friendly staff and very good music.

M. B.

Great live music, good selection of beers, all reasonably priced. The vibe is just what you need, be it to enjoy it by yourself, with friends, colleagues, family or a date.

K. D.

Great venue in the heart of London hosting the best blues talent every nigh5

B. B.

Great live concert, nice environment and proper vintage/ classic vibe

A. W.

Great atmosphere and a brilliant band were playing.

I. D. M.

Eccentric venue, resembling an American Juke joint with ghostly artwork of blues legends. Acts playing modern re-imaginings of the blues every day of the week. Along with "Jazz After Dark", the last remnants of last century Soho.

L. B.

Fantastic atmospehere ,spent pur first evening of many in this joint. The band we were lucky enough to listen to was great ,loads of rolm to stand however seats arpund the stage become free quite regularly ..loved it !!

R. S.

Love the place! Great fun with good bands... Come early if you want a seat!

A. B.

I would call this a traditional dive joint. Great place. Great music. Highly recommended.

E. N.

SUPER happiness bar at Canary street, got band for every nite. everyone are friendly and showing good smile for eve1eyone .

D. F.

I have been coming here for the past five years. It has a great atmosphere with musicians and visitors from all over the world enjoying a great time.

L. s.

Cool Pub, great Live music , it got the Blues Vibes all around ! Good alcohol. will visit again for sure!

J. N. V. L.

It is a very, very good venue for people that like good music!

N. R.

quiet in the early evening but same great blues bar

M. W. (.

I was there in November and they had live music schedule for everyday. Great atmosphere of a blues bar

V. S.

Good place! Great live music performances

F. F.

Amazing live music almost everyday, ok prices, no entry cover, outdoor space Love it

F. G.

My hubby and I went there back in October on a middle Saturday afternoon to find some really good quality live jazz. It was such a great atmosphere, busy with good service at the bar. Love the way the bands are made by amateurs players who are put together and changing at every 3 or 5 songs. All done quickly, not letting the audience waiting much, perhaps just giving us a chance to get another drink without missing anything. We enjoyed this place so much that we booked a hotel in Soho as we could have another night in London to visit the bar.

T. R.

If you're into live blues music you will love this place, I don't like blues music so I didn't! I was looking for a place to have a beer after everywhere else was closed (benefit) it is small and cramped (I didn't like that) but again beggars can't be chooser's! What was great is it if full of all sorts of characters, a true reflection of London. 5 stars, as it is not my type of place but would be unfair to mark it down just because I don't like small cramped places that play live blues music, I just wanted a pint (reasonably priced I might add)

E. “. S.

I will remember this place for ever. The staff was lovely and the beer cool and delicious. My girlfriend and I really had a blast. The place is quite small but its an amazing experience. The musicians were so talented and we experienced an impressive jam session. If you want to sit (like us) you should go there between 6PM and 7PM or you won’t have any chance to sit down the entire night I promise. This bar is the ultimate Soho experience 10/10!!

B.

Fantastic, cozy blues bar with warm, friendly service. Limited food options in these times, but the live music and the vibe more than make up for it. Will definitely visit again if ever in Soho.

D. C.

Absolutely love this small lively bar. Great venue. Good sound quality. If you want to sit and watch the music I suggest you arrive early as it gets very busy. Good selection of drinks and served by friendly staff. Good location for the bus and tubes. 10/10.

E. G.

Amazing place!!! The best one in London with good music and amazing beers

E. T.

Music is amazing - get there early to get a good seat as it's a small venue. Good value drinks but it's all about the amazing atmosphere and the music

J. M.

A bar with great vibe and music - 5 star character

Y. S.

Great music atmosphere, although the place is quite small and there's usually a wait to get any drinks.

K. H.

Back when I lived in London this was my favorite haunt! And when I come to visit I always have to make a stop by here. Live music, awesome bands, and cold beer. It’s has a really neat vibe and is usually full of like minded people who are there to enjoy some great blues music!!

A. L. C.

EXCELLENT ATMOSPHERE If you like to Jam or watch other musicians do it, this is the place for you!!! It's my favorite place to Jam to the blues with experienced musicians and ALWAYS a packed house with screaming new fans. The experience is genuine, the REAL DEAL. And if you are into beer they have a great selection here.

G. S.

Always amazing music and great crowd.

S. H.

Small blues bar with fantastic live music! Hard working bar staff trying to keep everyone happy on a very busy Saturday night. Crowded but great atmosphere inside. Entrance fee at the door and average beer prices for the area. Will definitely be going there again and would highly recommend this place!

A. N.

Good atmosphere. Drinks a bit pricey. Music every night. Gets very busy quickly. Fine if you get s table, but very small and not so good if you have to stand. Standing only smoking area at the front, where you can't take drinks out after 10pm.

M. B.

Genuinely the best blues bar in Central London. Do lovely Ale and always has amazing music. It's a great crowd and it gets very crowded- but good door staff there always stop it getting too crowded. If you want to lose yourself in some live blues then this is definitely a place you want to see!

C. N.

Awesome, first time I've been there and I've been singing in London since 1989 (with a few breaks here and there). It's the usual with jam sessions, put your name down and wait your turn. I managed to get three numbers in with a fantastic set of musicians, I'm still buzzing. Think I've found my Sunday afternoon, thanks guys. Could do with a few more female singers, but don't be shy, know your stuff the rest will fall into place. Well organised. Ok ya got me 5 stars it is then ❤

N. R.

If Blues is what you are looking for in London, this is definitely the place to be. Professional and amateur bands mingle one after the other in a delightful way, where smooth riffs emerge seamlessly. Sadly, the bar is too small for the massive amount of people trying to experience the Blues vibe. If you are okay with being another tuna in the can, then, I can definitely recommend it.

T. C.

What a fantastic little gem of a live music venue in the heart of Soho. Incredible blues artists, a lovely vibe and super friendly bar staff. It does get very busy and it's hard to move between the bar and the toilets, but the crowd is generally accommodating.

J. H.

Music brought me back to my younger days. Haven’t felt this way since the stones got back together! Rock on!!!!!

T. R.

Great bar, great atmosphere, great music!

J. G.

Always come here when in London. A great local find a bit on the back streets. You will always have some good luck if you come here. Best place for some live music. Expect a cheeky cover charge of about £6 at the door. You may have to wait to get in as it's usually packed. Only come here if you like crowded lively bars.

O. W.

Simply an amazing blues bar. The live music was incredible, and I'm glad we got there early to get a place, because a couple of hours later it was a real challenge to get out again past the masses of people drawn to the blues! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys blues, boogieing, or even just any live music. It's busy, but well worth it!

M. T.

Best Live Music Bar in all of London. Fantastic Place, atmosphere, staff, everything

D. B.

Great jam session on Sunday 4 p.m. just come down put your name on the list and play at the best blues bar in Europe 😅🍻

N. B.

Interesting scheme where musicians that play different instruments are rotated out every few songs, and all of them are good! No entry charge either. Sunday afternoon was a perfect crowd but I bet Friday or Saturday nights are packed.

J. H.

Fab place and the band were amazing

A. B. C.

This place was by far my favorite place in all of London! It has the best music and a perfect multicultural vibe. Went alone and met a ton of awesome locals who made me feel very welcome in a city so different from my home in the U.S. Such an amazing experience! Be sure to get there early though, not much seating but by the end of the night no one is sitting so not a biggie if your legs can handle a long stand.

E. R.

Had such a great night. Fantastic atmosphere, good music, drinks and snacks. Was missing good blues night and this place was awesome. Look forward to go back!

L. d. C.

Nice music but not a lot of seat so you d better to a bit early. (If you dont mind standing that s fine)

M. E. S.

I recommend this place to everyone. It is a small bar with live music. Better to go on a weekday because on weekends gets full. Nice atmosphere. I have been there many times and always come back.

M.

Very nice blues bar with excellent drinks and atmosphere!

R. N.

Neat little pub with blues bands playing. Really friendly and really low key. Liked it a lot. It's a bit grungy looking in parts but I guess that adds to the overall charm. I'm sure it must be getting quite crowded at times in the evening.

M. L.

Great, Beers and live Music.

F. M.

One of the few pubs that last until after midnight.. nice live blues music. Small and crouwdy, I were there for a jam session, on Tuesday, it was a good fun! Nice beers, especially the stout and the one wit the bar's name. Very informal.

D. N.

Former regular... Ain't nothing but the ashtray...

S. C.

A truely fab bar with live blues most early evenings. Great atmosphere, pub prices & friendly, helpful staff! Not to be missed if you are in Soho!🎶🍺

A. B.

Great late night bar & live music

A. S. G.

Amazing and tradicional pub. Great place to drink beer and listen a live music

E.

My favourite place for live blues music in central London. If you go here weekend nights, prepare for a really busy venue and long bar queues. I don't really have any complaints, but it'd be nice if they let in slightly fewer people to deal with overcrowding. Also, the bouncer may or may not be rude to you depending on his mood.

B. U.

Arguably the best place in Central London for a blues jam session. A chance to stay just centimetres away of the musicians, and enjoy real people playing real instruments in a relaxed environment. It gets pretty packed, so if you want a seat come early, but it has this intimate feeling.

A. S.

Very crowded and overpriced venue that has excellent live music. A wonderful place to catch up with acquaintances you don't want to speak to, but are obligated to socially hang out with. I discovered this place because one of my best friends from the US of A wanted a taste of what blues in London sounded like. I would recommend staying away during the weekends though - the entry criteria in itself is a rip-off.

V. G.

Great blues venue, Saturday acoustic jam 4pm to 8pm is a blast, justt off of Carnaby st

S. F.

Great bar in central London. Brilliant live music and good mix of customers, locals and tourists.

G. K.

Quite a small pub. Awesome music and good drinks. Need to pay 6 GBP to enter when live music plays. Times for music seems to be after 9. Gets quite crowded but its a good crowd with kool vibes and comradeship. Been a few times and each time found a different singer performing.

J. B.

Small venue, nice music. Few tables but that means you've got space to dance. 2 sets of live music. One ending at 8-8:30 pm and the other starting at 9:30. Free entry before 8:30 (Saturdays) check times in their website.

R. T.

An unsuspecting find on an otherwise restaurant street but once in, you are transported to deep south America, complete with a rotating band to keep things interesting. Lovely, cozy and small setting, however you would not want anything else. Its worth noting it gets really busy! Drinks reasonably priced. If you've not been it's a must!

N. M.

This is the Diamond i have found in London. My fav place and probably in the last 4 years, I have been here around 60-80 times. Never ever had been disappointed. Mind you, this is a very small venue, hence very busy and very loud. But I like this. It takes me closer to music, I like to see the music instruments making the sounds and feel those as loud as I can. Again, I have a taken quite a few people here and for some people, it is not their cup of tea, but for me, this is everything a music venue should be. Down to earth, small and good music. They are not here for money, it is only 5 pounds a entry on Fridays and Saturday post 8pm, they are here for people like me :) Love this place.

Z. C.

The band who played here during my visit was great, and the bar has cool decor. The place was however way too crowded to be enjoyable, which also made it very hard to get to the bar and order drinks. Ended up leaving and going somewhere else due to this.

M. Y.

Great club. Fantastic music and atmosphere.

A. M.

Amazing blues bar! Best in London, or perhaps even in Europe. Better to come before 8pm if you want to find a place to seat, the band starts playing at 10pm, unless it's a blues jam (on weekends) then it starts around 6pm. Highly recommended.

G. A.

Nice place, good music.

G. G.

Nice music, but the place is tiny. Be mentally prepared to be standing with your drink like in the tube during rush hour. The house gin was a little strange. All that said the band that played were awesome.

J. P.

Then bar has a great atmosphere and was very busy. However even though it was heaving on a Friday night, bar service was still quick and the queue to get in wasn't too bad. The live band was fantastic and played a great selection of music.

T. R.

Friendly staff, very helpful, great band. 100% recommend for any blues enthusiast!

C. S. (.

Watched a really good band here on a Wednesday night. It has a great atmosphere, when we visited we got a table easily, but this was at 6pm on a Wednesday night. I think the beer is quite reasonably priced for London.

E. H.

I love dive bars. This place is the vibe I love. Only gripe is the time it took to get in & get served - doorman didn't really tell us what the wait was (or why). BUT! I will be back because I love blues & beer & neon lights. Just try it. You will love it.

N.

Quite like this place. My only complaint would be the all the bands seem to play the blues. What's wrong with a little variety, huh? Only kidding, don't worry. My other only complaint is that it can get ridiculously busy, making a trip to the bar or bogs a daunting prospect. I've heard that there's often a reasonable amount of space right up at the front by the stage. Never managed to confirm this though.

M. G. T.

Good atmosphere, I had good time.

M. (.

Great music, friendly people, brilliant atmosphere.

A. S.

Really nice bar with live blues music all night! A bit small on space but it doesn't mmater much, you can always stand by the bar. Open until very late, and close to the night live of London

A. H.

One of my favourite London spots! Great musicians jamming. Absolute charm. Use to go almost every week when I lived in London and it’s on my list of London recommendations to my friends who visit London ❤️

M. S.

A great little Blues Bar. Definitely go on every Monday evening for Blues Jam. Dongonealry if you want have seat as they go very quickly and please bring and ID as they will ask any age. I saw once a guy who was asked and he was in his 60s. On monday nights there are some amazing characters on the stage.

M. L.

Simply my favourite bar in London and favourite spot for Live Music. Get in there, even on your own, and you feel like in Chicago or Nashville. Great atmosphere, great people, and great music (especially jam sessions on Sunday and Monday). A must go

V. H. B.

Was a nice experience jammin sessions good vibes chatty people, all cool.

n. s.

Free to get in, grab a table early on Friday night (by 5ish). They served food from 20:30, the choice was chilli or veg chilli so I'd say make sure you're not hungry before you go in as there isn't much space. The music was awesome from the two acts we saw.

S. M.

Great live Blues venue with fantastic musicians. Though a little small and seating a prized commodity, its worth it for the music. Drinks are inexpensive (for London) though they charge 50p for card transactions. Food is limited to nachos.

A. C.

A bit expensive, but amazing live music and a really cool place and experience!! Definitely worth it ! :)

R.

Best blues bar in London! It's always crowded and it's easy to find out why... Fantastic atmosphere, decent people and good music. A must-go place during the weekend when regular bars shut. However, there are two things I can't stand: the toilet are always super filthy and stinky and they charge you for card payments.

M. B.

Great music great beers and a great atmosphere!!

G. D.

Amazing ambient, with live music. Despite the music it's not my cup of tea I really enjoyed it! A place where I'll take some people to enjoy the Central London's night. If you like blues and swing music you have to visit it. PS: Go there early because it gets full easily!

A cozy and crowded venue with energetic live music. I could hardly wait to get inside the bar as I could hear live music pumping through the walls and after a longish wait I was squeezing past groups cheery patrons to find my birthday party. I usually dislike crowded places but the atmosphere here is really lively yet cozy too.

A. T.

Went there at random as we wanted to enjoy some Blues (Monday night is Open Mic night) It's on the small side and can get crowded but it's a great atmosphere. Highly recommend their own 'Blues Craft Larger'

N. S.

Really cool place, great atmosphere & live music. Their beer is also good. Quite small so it gets fairly crowded, but they start a one-in-one-out policy to stop it getting packed.

E. S.

Amazing music and athmosphere! With gigs every day of the week, mostly free! Sunday and Monday eve is jamsession night with a very nice and approachable international community of musicians. Rest of the week is on calendar with some great surprise of huge blues men.

R. L.

One of my favourite London spots for live music. They have free no-cover live blues every night of the year. Get there early for one of the few seats otherwise stand at the back and enjoy. A London institution.

m. h.

Great venue and good music.

M. A.

Small pub. Regular price and clean as much as other London pubs. The music is really good. If you are looking for a chance to experience a traditional pub from London with live music, this is a must go. The hot dogs and nachos are good. But nothing special. If you are hungry it's a good call.

J. H.

Awesome friendly vibe, great music and a real sweatbox. Just what you want from a blues bar.

S. A.

Great for seeing new bands or open mic nights or just a quick tipple after work

A.

-Great atmosphere -Funky -Awesome -Live music which was awesome

M. E.

Small but great place, great vibes, a must for blues lovers. Came on wednesday and the place was full and the band playing was great, keep us all dancing with their bluesy boogie tunes.

I. G.

Small intimate venue, great music, super little place. Blues jammin, gets everyone bopping! It does get pretty packed, but everyone's real friendly. Door & bar staff good humoured too! 5 ***** deserved for sure!

S. B.

Great little gem right in the heart of London. The jam sessions are great and the vibe is excellent. Great staff too.

S. C.

Best blues club in the world. I met someone there who told me they walked in sometime last year to find Al Green performing. Had the time of my life drinking and dancing to the awesome live music

J. H.

Nice vibes. Decent beer.

M. L.

Great but tiny club. The problem is that when it's very crowded it can also get very aggressive and unpleasant. The security outside is good but there's none inside and alcohol & testosterone in unbalanced measures make a potentially toxic cocktail. I've been going there for many years and really love it but I advise newbies to pick your times with care.

B. D.

A fantastic music bar! Best there is! Always good live music, great beer and nice staff! If you get a seat near the stage, you're almost on the stage! Intimate concert experience! 😊

D. H.

Simple little blues bar, close to Carnaby St. Well kept real and keg ale. The duo who played when we were there, were excellent. Seating was mostly occupied by 19.00 as the bar is quite small, give it a try if you're a blues fan.

M. D.

When we arrived there was live jazz music and everybody was enjoying themselves dancing.There was a great vibe in that bar and it was late open on Tuesday night which is a win-win! Very very nice drinks!

R.

Amazing energy and the band was amazing, had never been to a blues bar before but will definitely be going back. The only problem was it was a bit too small as the bar is situation really close to the stage.

O.

Proper tiny blues venue with good sound and bands. Filthy toilets, but then again, the filthier the toilets, the better the music, usually.

S. C.

Really good fun, liked the vibe, some awesome bluegrass group was playing and everyone there was good spirit and in a good mood, the bouncer was a decent, friendly guy as well. Only downside was the amount we drank, but your mileage may vary - give it a go and see if it's for you!

K. R.

Awesome vibe and great live music

D. J.

It is one s the oldest blues bar. They will have bands playing music live, which is quite good. And the place gets crowded pretty fast, so reach on time.

J. F.

I’ve read a lot of accolades from so many happy Yelpers who love this place. So I decided to check whether all this fame is well deserved. It’s definitely not the best Soho bar but it’s in the top 5, I think. I was mainly attracted by the live music. The atmosphere was not bad, too.

F. C.

Nice place, small so go early for free music (went before 19.00) Ideal before going for dinner or after. Great ambiance. The drinks (gin & tonic) were expensive but maybe its the normal price now in London

S. D.

Best blues experience in London. If it looks packed then just hang around for 30 minutes because people move out pretty regularly. Managed to get a seat at the front and so worth it. Crazy good jamming and sets from all the musicians

C. A.

Love this little jazz number. There is no place better for jazz in London. It's a tiny space but the jamming artists are some of the best Ive ever seen in mee life. Better than Greenwich jazz festival. All acts top notch.like superrr super amazing. Close to Cahoots you be bats too miss this opportunity

N.

Rocco ! You and your band do an amazing job!!!

R.

Slightly full-of-himself bouncer (eventually) let us in to see a moderately good Blues band and for us to pay quite a lot for the beer. Crowd was a good mix for a Thursday night in the West End.

A.

Great live music and friendly crowd ! If you like great music and a genuine rustic charm this is the place for you. I recommend to get in early for concerts the place is small get quickly busy. I would not recommend the place for business or a date but defenely for a fun night out!

A. N.

Rinsin soundz. Real peepz. Bestest vibez. ♥️ U.

P. T.

The closest to a dive bar you'll find in Soho. Musicians alternate on the stage playing blues and ska style live and loud. Very chilled out vibes in here despite how busy it is. A favourite of mine.

B. S.

The 1st time I went to the Blues Bar was in October 2001. It was, in fact, the very 1st bar I went to when I arrived in London. I have been coming back ever since. The atmosphere in this place is amazing, the musicians are great and the people friendly. Cannot be missed!

B.

Quite simply the best bar in London, the Uk and probably Europe . Quality musicians 7 nights a week, advise you arrive by 8pm to get a table

K. M.

The Blue matics play every Friday and are brilliant! Get there early as seats are very limited. Great atmosphere. Recommended. Different acts at different times on different days all week.

J. Y.

This cosy little blues venue will not disappoint! Featuring local acts as well as touring bands, you'll find it difficult to stop yourself from dancing along with the music. In order to grab yourself a seat you should arrive early or expect to have to wait in line on the weekends. The atmosphere is spot on once the music and drinks start flowing.

D. N.

Great little blues bar with a few live acts per night. Unfortunately you can't book a table so you have to try your luck. I've missed out on a Saturday night in the past with a long queue for a small venue meaning it doesn't move very quickly. Either get there early or try midweek.

A. G. B.

Best blues bar in London without question. Great crowd and mix of tourists and locals. If you like to jam check out Sunday afternoon and Monday evening.

A. S.

Fantastic place for live blues music in London (the best one probably). It's a hidden gem, the place is quite small but that's ok. Live music every night. There is a blues jam session every Sunday afternoon and Monday night. Davide, the Italian guy who organise the jams, is a real pro. This is definitely a place to go! Good real ales!

S. R.

Possibly the best bar in London. Great atmosphere and brilliant music every night. Beer could be better but the beer plays 2nd fiddle here! It's all about the music.

A. B.

Their tagline says it all: best blues bar this side of the Atlantic! Reasonably priced drinks, good atmosphere. Blues jam Sunday afternoon and Monday night are great.

J. R.

These guys have some fantastic blues music (including live music 7 nights a week), a nice selection of booze, and the perfect low key atmosphere, oozing cool with blues posters wall to wall. The first time I ended up here I was absolutely frazzled from Christmas shopping. Hamleys was so busy that you had to exit at the back, and upon exiting I found myself standing in front of this place. It opens at 3pm on Saturdays, so I was able to stop in and recharge. I fell in love with the place and vowed to return. On that note I should warn, if you want to go here of an evening, you'd better arrive early. Fridays and Saturdays are only free until 8:30pm, but that's not it. The place is tiny, which while it may add to the atmosphere does nothing for your chances of getting in, let alone getting a seat. I kind of wish it was bigger, but then again, I wouldn't change a thing about the place. I guess what I really wish is that there were more places like this in London. The staff (and clientèle) are friendly, service is good, and the blues will make you feel alive.

D. R.

Love Ain’t nothing but... I’ve never left sober. It’s a cracking night. Recommend getting there around 6 if you want a table/chair for the evening. Get to know your neighbours early, you’ll be best friends by the end of the night. They normally have two sets each evening. Your feet will be sore from the tapping, your hands from the clapping. Beer selection is ok, they could do more. Cider and various bottles available too. No wifi which is great and they charge for using a credit/debit card too. Food is available and quite terrible (nachos and hotdogs) but it’s all about the music. Mobility is a no-go, narrow entrance and toilets are downstairs.

L. O.

Great music, vibe and drinks but can be difficult in practical terms. Drinks are expensive and you have to get here really early if you don't want to spend the night standing up and struggling to see.

N. T.

Mention the name Aint nothing but to most Londoners and they will be able to tell you about this narrow haled bar that serves up a contagious mix of live blues music and pub price drinks. With a 7 day a week schedule (including a extra Sunday lunch performance) the bar serves as a great spot for catching live music in central London. Covered wall to wall with blues posters it serves both the blues connoisseur and the keen novice however though the music and drinks no ones noticing.

C. S.

Walked in and I was hit by the blues. Fantastic music. Not a massive space for sitting but if you are patient you can get a chair. Good selection of beers. Will be back

S. J.

If you like the blues you will enjoy the authenticity of this bar. It's ram packed on a Friday evening which you expect but still maintains a friendly and cordial atmosphere. Bonk on the door is polite and friendly.

P. B.

Great music, great staff

R. A.

One of THE best blues bars in London with some outstanding acts. This is slightly tainted by the very small size of the place, with limited seating and at most times is very packed.

S. S.

One of my favourite places in London, great music and fantastic atmosphere. Better than that, free entry most of the time, but it's always packed!

D. S.

For lovers of the blues this is a great little bar, with a friendly atmosphere. The blues jams are fab, a real mix of talented performers. Lovely.

L. A.

Tiny, dark, weathered and full of character. Exactly the kind of place than comes to mind when you hear the word "joint". You'll get nothing but the blues alright and plenty of stories to draw from here. Fully recommended

D. R.

Amazing blues bar jam with a great atmosphere. One of a kind.

L. F.

Nice bar with live music 🎶👌

E. P.

Great music, great atmosphere.

H. D.

One of the best bars in London! If you love blues then you HAVE to go. The people who play there are incredible!

M. R.

One of my favorite pubs in London! Great Blues/Americana/Folk artists... Very genuine! Always full, but one always manage to find space.

P. C.

The pub is quite small but there is a great atmosphere, lots of people and really good live music every night, also during the week. Beer is good

K. D.

Amazing place to chill after work. The performance of the band is absolutely stunning. Enjoy a pint while listening live music 🎶 🍺

J.

Live blues music every day! Absolutely fantastic little blues bar just off Carnaby street, great atmosphere & great music every day. It is VERY small, so it gets quite packed at key times, but the music makes it worth squishing in for.

R. F.

This place is really a must go when around the area. There is always good music and good vibes. I've been there around 10 times. It always had something going on and they were never repetitive. I highly recommend to anyone up to Blues.

A. F.

Fantastic day at St Mungo's HQ, followed by an amazing evening meal with RaraFing at Tandoor Chop House, Adelaide Street Charring Cross and finally, a visit to one and only Ain't Nothing but delightful Blues and Jazz before heading to Oxford Circus Station for a train journey home. A very good day for me.

A. B.

It's little but the atmosphere is very nice and good! Live music is excellent! I really enjoyed my time there! Moreover It's not expensive and the barmen are nice and good-looking!

J. H.

Love this bar. Cool laid back atmosphere reasonably priced drinks and live music every night from 6. Be careful on the stairs down to the toilets...

P. O.

A blues bar right in the heart of central London, this venue hosts a large amount of events. Live music every day of the week, including jam sessions on sunday and monday. I mainly go there for the jam sessions and everyone who participates is really friendly. From amateurs to professionals, these blues jams are fantastic, some of the best in London!

H. H.

Fantastic place, with great music! But it's a bit crowded, so I'll recommend coming early if you want to be able to have a table.

O. A.

The bands in there play like from playbacks, 100% professionals and the best , actually / oddly the one and only - unique place in London! the staff is super friendly and this place should be the top visit in London lol yeeha /,,/

R. J.

It's a nice blues bar but always super busy. By the time the band comes on at 9, it's impossible to get in and if you are already in, can't really move around. There are also only couple of tables and chaires.

D. P.

First time at this venue in Soho - brilliant jam sessions and if you're into blues and jazz give it a visit, you'll be surprised like I was.

C. M.

An absolute staple for our Thursday night antics. It's always packed but with good reason! Good booze, and fantastic live music- if you enjoy the blues this one's not to be missed.

A.

Cool music in a very cozy venue! Can take a bit of a wait to get served at the extremely busy/cramped bar. Staff are pleasant and atmosphere gets even better as night goes on

f. l.

beautiful blues bar in kingly street, soho, London, England. live blues music every night of the week. you will certainly have a good time in this blues bar.

s.

Best blues bar in London. Amazing jam sessions. Always super crowded so be there before time to grab a seat.

K. A.

Had a great time there. The atmosphere was cozy, and the live music great. Totally worth the entrance fee we paid

G. G.

Great music and great place, but only if you are able to get a table close to the stage, otherwise you won't resist for long because it is very small and crowded.

S. H.

Great music and great beer. Small venue and gets busy, make sure you get in early, can't fault the atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

J. M.

Great band choices, music is on point, the atmosphere is groovy bluesy and the drinks are reasonably priced. Perfect for a night out with friends

J. H.

A small venue so don't expect too much room, but great music and a great vibe means you'll have a good time no matter what. Live music to enjoy every night.

M. G.

Tiny bar with a great atmosphere. Don't expect much in terms of fancy decor but has a soul and free entry before 830!

S. M.

Awesome! Great music and the friendliest bartenders.

A. B.

Lives up to its reputation. Small, long venue with a stage occupying the entire back wall. Walls and ceiling peppered with guitars, vinyls and posters of musicians past. Great atmosphere

a. h.

We spent Saturday afternoon enjoying a gig. Great venue, great music. Great beer. It was really busy, but still a great day out!

V. L.

Amazing music, absolute must if you like to have a good time. Live bands every night, and great beer selection.

S. Z.

Best place to listen to live music. Bands are never disappointing here. The only downside is that it's very small and super crowded so it's difficult to get inside during gigs unless you arrive very early.

B. B.

Always great music and fantastic atmosphere.

J. K. R.

Live and free blues next to Regent Street. Check their program on the web. Jams are free, consert are a few pounds. Always packed when music, you have to push your way through and hold your pint high;-). Local bands change every 20 min or so at jams.

P. W.

The London bar which you must visit if you like live blues, jazz and rock. Live music every night. A small, hidden gem where you can meet a lot of interesting people.

e.

Great artists performances and good drinks. Crowded as hell but still place to breathe. Sometimes you have to wait outside to just get in.

G. S.

Amazing experience, the local is quite small but comfortable, live music and a good choice of beers. I loved it! People are there for music and have a beer, and this one make this place magic

E. M.

Bands play every night, not so good cocktails, decent beer. This place is a must if you want to see live music, the atmosphere is great.

J. M.

Great music, great atmosphere with friendly staff and people. Can be a bit crowded so get in early.

A. M. F.

My favorite bar in London.

J. B.

Great atmosphere! Enjoy live music played by great random people while having a nice beer.

A. M.

Great place with fantastic music and lovely atmosphere. Don't get put off by the small size of the place, once you get dancing you won't care.

Z. D.

A small unassuming bar in central London, with great live music but pretty average everything else. Service, drinks and atmosphere is nothing special, the music really makes it but it gets extremely busy and most people end up standing awkwardly in the middle while patrons and waiters squash around you. The decor is cheap and cobbled together, and it lacks charm - wouldn't recommend it unless you want to shout over the music in a dingy dive bar.

B. M.

Great little blues bar be warned it does get packed out fairly easy - there is a cover charge in the evening of c. £5

T. B.

Great bar in Soho. Live music 7 nights a week that never fails to disappoint. Cheap as well considering the area. It can get a little tight and its hard to find a seat on the weekends.

R. M.

Great bar. Great music. We loved it here. London prices of course, but sometimes you are happy to pay for quality

D. M.

I loved the atmosphere! And the craft beer was really good!!

A. B.

Fantastic pub venue in Soho for jazz played Saturday to Monday. Free entry to 7 PM Saturday. Excellent jazz players with variety.

P. O.

Good beers, though pricey (it's Soho), great Blues jam sessions. It's quite small, though, so it get really crowded on Sunday jams; get there early ;)

G. K.

Really good blues music but make sure you get their early if you want a seat. Not the best selection of beer.

S. B.

One of my favorite places in London. Good atmosphere, good to relax. Maybe too crowded. PS: the live music is amazing.

R. W.

Loved it, been there twice in a week. Nice atmosphere, good beers, the only thing that I didn't like is the crowd.

S. F.

Live bands jamming, the place is absolutely packed, even on a Sunday night. Very awesome vibe. Got good selection of beers.

i.

Fantastic atmosphere for music lovers. I've been there for many times and I want to get inside this unique place many times more!

2. C. D.

If you love blues music your gonna love this place. Very very busy . Great atmosphere.

m. v.

Always good live music and nice atmosphere. One of my favourite bars in London 👌

P. W.

Too small, too expensive and too quiet, can't hear the band from the back. Piped music is fine but live sound isn't. What we could hear of the band was superb though.

M. B.

Great place for live blues music. Everyday!

E.

Attended the Blues Jam and loved the people and the vibe. Young or old it didn't matter, everyone was there to enjoy the Jam and party. Do it, you know it makes sense....

R. U.

Always end up here when in London. It's always full of atmosphere, great music and a good time. It's cosy but never too many people. Get there early-ish!

A. M.

I had a best experience visiting this place! The band was super, and the atmosphere just great. My best recommendation for jazz experience. (Just take to consideration that the place is very very crowded)

L. C.

Nice place and atmosphere. Live music everyday but often crowded. Beers are a bit expensive. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood.

O. /.

Great place when you can get in. Great live music. Fridays and Sat evening expect to queue for upto 40 minutes as it fulls very quickly (one in one out policy basically).

J. A.

One of our favorite stops on our Runewood Denmark adventures in London! If you like blues, beer, whisky this is your place.

G. L. P.

‘Ain’t Nothing But…’ has come up on our GLP Facebook wall more times than we’ve had red wine gums. According to an “anonymous” quote on their website, it is the ‘best blues bar this side of the Atlantic’. Trust us, there ain’t nothing better. Tucked away down Kingly Street, this place has been pumping out the best in blues music since 1993, back when our Reebok pumps were pumped to the max. Continuing that analogy, this place is literally the size of a shoebox. We counted around 6 tables (we needed both hands for this calculation) near the ‘stage’. If you are lucky enough to get one of these prized spots, you’ll be in arms reach of the band. Get there early either way because it’s tiny and popular, a claustrophobic mix. If you manage to squeeze your way in, you’ll certainly feel like you’re in New Orleans. It’s the real American Deep South McCoy. It’s divey. It’s dingy. It’s damn beautiful. Guitars hang from the low ceiling. The walls are plastered in posters of legendary blues/jazz artists like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. It’s even got a working ceiling fan. And you can dance your socks off until your face and toes get sweaty. And to help you keep the purse strings in check, remember that it’s free mid-week, but there are charges after 8.30pm Friday and Saturday. Thanks for the tip off: Chris Strutt

T. H.

No place for chat, blues or die - loved it

C. B.

An absolute must for blues, jazz, and good-time enthusiasts! I've been here over a dozen times (everything from dates, girls nights, and spontaneous adventuring) and it's always a winning experience.

R. S.

Great atmos. Impromptu visit. Outside area when weather is warm. Hot and cramped inside but adds to the fun of watching raw blues talent.

A. W.

Always a winner. Never disappointed. The music. The vibe. The people. The beer selection. Winner all aspects. Have been back time and time again. And will be back again!

R. M.

I go to ain nothing but the blues quite often for my after work rela ing time .... andactually i go there often as it makes me feel at ease and can't stop moving and swinging at the rythm of excellent brewed blues... luv IT !!!!

A. M.

If you like Blues this is for you. Open mic starts at around 4 pm, doors open at 3pm, get there early to grab one of the small number of chairs!

P. W.

The atmosphere in that place is really nice. Live music on a good level. Worth to visit for sure!

G. K.

Music was great! However the alcohol was unbelieably pricey around £20 for two shots and two pints. Could do with a clean too

C. B.

The quality of music here is excellent. My son and daughter and their friends visit regularly. It was my first visit and I loved it. Everyone was so friendly and happy.

N. T.

Great chill bar but get there real early if.you want a seat. Good tunes and a friendly crowd.

A. N.

Shhhhhhhh.. please don't tell anyone!! This place is awful, don't go... leave it alone.... !! Seriously, wow!! the place could expand to triple and more and the crowds would still que. It is a real hidden gem in London. Congratulations to the owners for following their beliefs!

C. B.

Great live music, absolutely loved it and free entery. I would however recommend drinking before coming in since drinks are quite pricy

C. S.

Incredible live music. Really average beer though, and it is really tiny. Gets absolutely crammed. Well worth the fight through the crowd though!

C. R.

Great little place to spend the afternoon listening to some blues. Small venue, if you can get a seat you won't want to leave.

S. R.

Cosy crowded great music can't go wrong

F. V.

The place is so small you won't believe how many people it can fit! Beer selection is ok, good vibe and great music!

L. Z.

The bands never fail to disappoint!

K. C.

This is a terrific venue with excellent performers and an incredibly friendly vibe from staff and public. I can't wait to visit again.

T. F.

The artist and blues atmosphere is really nice. However the pub is quite dirty and bartenders not really friendly.

C. B.

The moment I walked in...loved this place. Atmosphere, music, great. Brill bands/ musicians. True Blue. Go there as often as I can.

B. K. K.

So cool music!!

M. Y.

Great place for Blues 👍🏻

e. p.

Amazing place! Cool bartenders nice music.. Don't forget to buy t-shirt!

Z. M.

Spent NYE here. Fun place with good music and beer. Great to ring in the new year without spending too much money or being overwhelmed by crowds.

P. S.

Always crowded, authentic blues east of Chicago. Friendly staff, good beers and yeah they've got the mandatory blues bar t-shirts!

M. J.

Went there on a Friday night, absolutely packed, music brilliant, even the price of the drinks for the quality of the music and the location was reasonable

S. P.

Genuinely good blues music from what I recall. I went here after a different pub closed so my recollections are vague. No complaints, very accommodating.

V. R.

Nice place, good music, but overly crowded on a Friday night. Should be ok if you get there before 9 pm.

Ü. Ç.

Small but good place. Live music is great here. Blues and Jazz lovers can’t miss it.

S. H.

Very nice live music, great atmosphere, reasonable prices on the drinks for central London. Only problem is it gets quite crammed to fully enjoy it.

C. C.

Usually full and busy but on week days it's not as bad if you get there early. Love this bar... Always good music

F. L.

Great bar and great venue with fantastic bands. Live music nights happens regularly and bands are often top quality jazzers, highly recommended.

B. O.

wonderful gigs!! free admission!!

H. G.

Great atmosphere with excellent music. Make sure to get there early to get a seat as it gets full quickly.

K.

Very busy music venue (pub) ive only been here on weekends and its been packed full with a good atmosphere and live music.

B.

Outstanding experience! Band was freaking amazing and bar was nicely filled up on a Tuesday. Drink prices average

J. L.

Great music. Best place to spend time with friend. Wide selection of drinks.

S. B.

Tasty Beers, awesome live acts but way too loud in my opinion. Overall definitely worth the time to visit

P. D.

Beers are not great, expensive and the place is small and cramped. There is kind of an open mic for blues but everyone is so good!! Really recommend coming here.

M. L.

Hidden gem. Great for midweek escape into blues jazz. I've been there several times and there's almost a different lineup every time.

B. D.

Great music seven days a week. NYE there was fun too. Though always aim to get there early as it can be tricky to get a seat

E. B.

Best Blue's club in London and up there with the great clubs of Memphis. Get here for opening if you want to nab a table.

K. M.

Good music and vibe bar. Would be 5 stars but staff can be rude about moving chairs and a silly small notice on the wall.

S. R.

Cute little place with awesome vibe and good performances. Small, but well thought of tap beer selection.

A. M.

My fave bar in London ❤️

A. M.

Great atmosphere. Much smaller than I imagined so get there early to avoid the queue. Live music every day

S. v. W.

Amazing live blues, we had some much fun here and there was a great vibe.

C. R.

Great blues music. One of the best pub in London (for me)

R. S.

Favourite blues bar!

My favourite place in London to sit and enjoy music that puts a smile on everyone's faces. Great atmosphere.

A. T.

Could be overly crowded on the nights but totally worth it - live performance, lovely people and happy atmosphere makes this place a hidden gem.

T. S.

Love it. Great music great atmosphere. Shame it's so small. Drinks a pricey hear also.

V.

Surprisingly good blues club. Great music and atmosphere.. but very crowded and long waits.. Get there early.

C.

Well this was a great place to watch a live band It's open mike but the talent is good .great atmosphere and air conditioned .recommend

M. A.

Fantastic music, in a really small venue. If you want to sit, arrive very early!

m. b.

Terrible beer but a must for all music lovers. I particularly love the Sunday jam sessions.

s. c.

Amazing live music venue .it's so hidden that you won't believe the place had such quality live music

M. J.

Great music on a Saturday afternoon. Gets very busy so you have to be OK to deal with a crowded space.

L. A. d. L.

Good music but very crowded. Also, quite an annoying entrance queue and uneducated bouncer which should change his attitude towards the patrons

L. K.

Not a massive space for sitting but if you are patient you can get a chair. Good selection of beers.

A. O.

Amazing blues bar with really fantastic musicians. It gets really busy so try get there early for a good spot.

a. b.

Lovely place to listen to some great live music and drink your beer. Would recommend 10/10

N. M.

Excellent little blues club, absolutely packed at weekends, with good, fast bar service and some proper live blues being played.

Fantastic live acts. Arrive early to see the amateur acts, skip the cover and nab a great spot for the acts later in the night.

Great live music in a classic Soho dive bar, open late for the area and a great spot to end an evening

Unique place in London. Time has stopped in 90' there. Always worth visit if you a blues fan.

A small place with great atmosphere, live music, but unfortunately no real food there.

A Soho institution. No room to breathe, cramped, difficult to order when it gets busy, all surfaces are sticky but boy does it have character. It's London. Charming place.

If you love blues you will like this place. But it’s small and drinks were pricey. But I guess it is central london.
