Ain't Nothin' But The Blues Bar

Ain't Nothin' But The Blues Bar is a beloved Soho institution that has been keeping the spirit of the blues alive in London since 1993. Tucked away on Kingly Street, this intimate venue is steeped in character, with its narrow, wood-floored interior, low lighting, and walls plastered with vintage posters and musical memorabilia. The space is designed to bring the audience close to the action, creating an electric atmosphere where the music takes centre stage. It’s a place where the soulful sounds of the Deep South meet the gritty charm of central London.

What truly sets Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues Bar apart is its unwavering dedication to live blues music - offering performances seven nights a week, often featuring a mix of seasoned musicians and rising stars. It’s not a bar that trades on celebrity chefs or curated cuisine; instead, its unique selling point is its authenticity and community spirit. Owned and operated independently, the venue has earned accolades as one of London’s top live music spots and is often cited as a must-visit for music lovers. With no reservations and a first-come, first-served policy, it’s a place where spontaneity reigns and the music always comes first.
