    Nice live music, different bands everyday, diverse crowd, great atmosphere on a Saturday night, shame for not allowing vaping but you can do it anyway when closer to the stage. Will come back here!

    Go early to secure a table if you know that you'll be there for a while. If you don't, you'll still have a good time! Best Blues Bar for miles!

    The go to venue for straightforward, no-frills blues in the heart of London. The house bands are quite good, and there is music on every night!

    Get down early and got a seat at the front. It's always packed out, but a brilliant night out.

    Small place so gets crowded early but has great atmosphere. Get there at 7 or 9 to see a live band. Early birds get a table

    On Jam days (monday and sunday) arrive early to meet the house band and to enroll to play/sing: it's definitely worth it.

    A decent spot if you're after a late night drink or some live music. Can get jam packed though and unpleasant at peak times (like a lot of bars though)

    Sundays jamming sessions make me want to totally give up my career and to instead dedicate my time to singing and playing blues...

    Uncomfortably overcrowded, ridiculously overpriced, terrible drink selection (only the stuff that people ask to get wasted). Jams were meh. I probably happened to be there on the wrong night though...
