Bar Silver (Formerly Ladybird Bar) – Angel’s Vinyl Lounge, Live Music Bar & Late-Night Venue

Looking for a late-night bar in Angel that serves exceptional cocktails, great music and a proper night-out atmosphere until the early hours? Bar Silver is Islington’s vinyl lounge, live music bar and late-night venue, located on Upper Street in the heart of Angel.

Built around cocktails, records, DJs, live music and late-night energy, Bar Silver is a space for people who want more than just another bar. Whether you’re joining us for after-work drinks, a date night, a birthday, a private booking or a full late-night session, we bring together quality drinks, warm service and music-led atmosphere across two unique spaces.

Upstairs, Bar Silver Vinyl Lounge offers a stylish but welcoming cocktail bar experience, with curated records, great drinks and a soundtrack that moves from laid-back listening to late-night energy. Downstairs, The Vault is our underground event space, hosting DJs, live acts, promoters, parties and community-led music nights.

Our drinks menu features signature cocktails, premium serves, mocktails, wines, beers, ciders, seltzers and speciality shots, with classics available on request. From fruit-led crowd pleasers to stronger late-night serves, every drink is built to match the mood of the room.

Our weekly offers make Bar Silver perfect for groups, dates and spontaneous nights out:

Happy Hour available throughout the week, with extended hours for table bookings.

50% off the total bill for bookings of 6 or more between 6pm and 9pm.

Student offers, birthday bookings and late-night event deals available on selected nights.

At the weekend, Bar Silver turns the energy up even higher. We stay open until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays, making us one of Angel’s go-to late-night venues for anyone who wants to keep the night going after midnight. After 11pm, the atmosphere shifts into full party mode, with DJs and curated music bringing The Vault and Vinyl Lounge to life.

From R&B, disco, funk, house and garage to Afro-house, Amapiano, trance, live music and vinyl-led sessions, no two nights at Bar Silver feel the same. We are a home for music lovers, late-night drinkers, promoters, DJs, artists and anyone looking for a venue with character.

Whether you’re searching for one of the best late-night bars in Angel, a cocktail bar in Islington, a live music venue on Upper Street, a private hire space, or somewhere to keep the party going until the early hours, Bar Silver is built for nights that start with one drink and end much later than planned.

The Vault Venue Hire

The Vault is Bar Silver’s underground event space, located beneath our vinyl lounge on Upper Street in Angel. Designed for DJs, live music, promoter-led nights, private parties and late-night events, The Vault offers a dedicated space for organisers who want to create something with energy, identity and atmosphere.

With an underground feel and a stronger event focus, The Vault is ideal for club nights, live performances, showcases, launch parties, student events, birthdays, community music projects and recurring promoter concepts. It is a space built for movement, music and late-night crowds.

The Vault works especially well for organisers who want to bring their own audience, develop a regular night or host a one-off event in a central Islington venue without the pressure of a traditional blank-canvas hire. For the right concept, we are open to flexible arrangements, including low-hire-fee or no-hire-fee options based on expected bar spend, event quality and long-term potential.

Suitable For

DJ nights
Live music events
Promoter-led club nights
Private parties
Birthday celebrations
Student events

Music & Event Style

The Vault is a music-led space and is suited to events across a wide range of genres, including R&B, soul, funk, disco, house, garage, Afro-house, Amapiano, trance, live bands, acoustic acts and curated underground music nights.

We are particularly interested in events that have a clear concept, a reliable audience and a professional approach to promotion. The strongest events in The Vault are well-branded, well-promoted and built around a crowd that suits the venue.

Why Hire The Vault?

The Vault gives promoters, DJs, artists and event organisers a ready-made underground venue in Angel with bar service, late-night potential and a strong music identity. It is ideal for people who want to build a night, test a concept, grow a community or host a private event in a space that already feels like a proper venue.

With Bar Silver upstairs, guests also benefit from a full cocktail bar environment before, during or after the event, giving the venue a stronger overall experience than a single-room hire.

What We Look For

We are open to one-off events, but we are especially interested in building long-term relationships with organisers who want to create regular nights at The Vault.
