The Blue Monk

Description

Located right in the vibrant heart of the Bermondsey Beer Mile, The Blue Monk is South London’s premier grassroots live music haven and authentic craft beer bar. We built this space with a simple, unyielding mission: to deliver world-class audio and delicious drinks without the extortionate Central London price tags.

Whether you are looking for the best live music bars in London or the ultimate atmosphere to watch live sport in Bermondsey, we have you covered. Unlike standard pubs that push bands or TVs into a corner with muddy, blown-out speakers, our entire room is custom acoustically treated and rigged with top-tier gear.

That means whether you’re catching a heavy indie rock showcase, vibing to smooth late-night jazz, or watching the massive weekend sports fixtures on our big screen, you will hear every single chord and every stadium roar with absolute, pristine clarity.

We pair this flawless entertainment experience with an uncompromising dedication to fair pricing. Here, you can always grab a beautifully brewed local craft pint for just £6, alongside a fantastic selection of wines and spirits.

Unpretentious, authentic, and always electric. Book your table at 71 Enid Street, grab a £6 pint, and experience a proper night out.
