It has a lot of interesting decor and interior which keeps your eyes busy whilst you listen to acts on stage. It feels a little weird when you first go in, almost like a big town hall or empty art gallery rather than a gig venue which takes a little getting used to. The venue feels quite small too which is good as live performances feel intimate. The stage is raised to a decent height so that everyone gets a good view. The bar area is quite small and during busy times it might get a bit cramped and you might have to wait a little longer to get served. That isn't the fault of the staff who upon my visits have done an excellent job under difficult circumstances. There isn't much in the way of parking in the surrounding area as Bush Hall is on a main road. There are a good selection of buses and tubes which stop near the Green which is a short walk away.

I went on a whim because I was staying for a short visit close to the airport. I saw Albin Lee Maldau, he was terrific.

I sat next to a French Amman and an Italian man who were together, made for fun conversations about traveling.

The Red Room Cocktail Bar has grand features, with chandeliers and a warm and vintage vibe. The Blue Room Nightclub is more edgy with a stage setup perfect for live performances, led lighting, a 10 ft DJ booth and raised platforms creating the ultimate raver's paradise. Both rooms offer the perfect location to shoot anything from fashion shoots to music videos and regularly host a number of events from weekly in-house club nights to private parties, birthdays, product launches, dance classes and workshops & micro exhibitions. All events can be booked with catering and entertainment options as well as specialist decor and lighting. We also have a basement area available for crew storage space etc.

As it turns out, this pub was converted from a 1920s art deco cinema. While it doesn't scream art deco, it does make it a good venue for live music and other acts. In fact there were posters for an upcoming Tina Turner tribute band. I was there on a very chilly weeknight, so it wasn't really hopping. Towards the front were patrons simply enjoying beers, watching football and playing snooker. There were menus offering Indian food, but neither I nor anyone else was eating. The barkeep was nice and the prices were good. I've given an extra star because I like how they pay homage to the building's past (and the neighborhood) with loads of old photos and informational posters around the room. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if in the neighborhood - check it out. Like Tina Turner said, "it's simply the best (on that particular block)."

And he is right! this place is really cool, it is a shame it is small. Although I do reckon the intimacy would be lost if it is any bigger, it is just hard to squeeze in there sometimes on a busy night. If you can, get on the big, squasy leather arm chairs- very comfy. They serve amazing cocktails including one called 'you mum'. Am planning to try that next. Suits the slightly er.. bohemian vibe. Drinks are not too badly priced, but it is not the sort of place where you would be buying too many, just one or too to have a nice chat with mates before you hit the town for bigger and glitzier places.

For the Friday evening Cabaret you have to book ahead which only cost £5 up to the last 2 weeks before which is when it goes up to £8 and you get to watch some weird and wonderful cabaret acts during the course of the evening. As far as the acts were concerned it was a bit hit and miss and I was expecting a few more. We had a hula hooper and a contortionist which was insane to watch!! An aerial hoop act which was impressive but quite short, a juggler who probably didn't need to be there and the finale .... Rayguns Look Real Enough who were a comedy music mashup duo who were fabulous!! Highlight of the evening! As a while though I think the acts were a but hit and miss and unfortunately the compere wasn't going down too well either!! Oh well!! But the evening was incredibly fun and once they cleared away the stage it turned into a dance floor and the DJ played an array of hits from 50's through to today with a lot of emphasis on 80's and 90's hits which were great to sing and dance along to. Before the show started we did have a table so we could eat food and there was your usual selection of burgers and salads etc. I went for the veggie falafel burger and to be honest it was extremely bland and needed a hell of a lot more tzatiki and condiments to improve it's flavour! It's great that I was subjected to the usual fried vegetable burger and there was a mushroom risotto on the menu but the burger definitely needed more flavour. It was a bit more like mushed falafel and falafel needs to be a little more grainy I think!! The chips were good though, hand cut, crispy edges and soft in the middle - mmm!! As for drinks they do have a selection of ales on tap, some local, a porter and a stout that were exciting some and all the other usual things a pub can offer. Price wise I think it was pretty reasonable. All in all we did have a great evening and I probably would go again. The place is new so it is probably still getting it's sea legs a little but do pop down for an alternative evening of circus acts and then fun music to dance the night away to - we stayed so late it was a night bus home!! Always a good sign!! Xyz

My first time here was for a Yelp event, and then I returned with another friend to see Matt Bianco. This place is just incredibly comfortable. Great views everywhere thanks to the raised outer circle, and far more seating than I've ever seen in a venue with a dancefloor. Lots of small and large booths to accommodate your group, no matter how many people you came with. The raised area is lined with a bar and lots of bar stools, so you can sit down comfortably, set down your beer to applaud, and enjoy a perfect view of the stage, while those behind you can easily see the stage over your shoulders. Really well designed. The acoustics here are extraordinary too. I do wish they'd have some more popular acts, or, you know, ones I actually know (the current events schedule didn't have any names I recognized). I would jump on the chance to see Bruno Mars or James Morrison here again! However, I would definitely make an effort to find a reason or an event to come back to Under the Bridge. My friend felt the same way. Just something very welcoming and comfortable about this place.

This is a very Irish bar - so if that is your thing then it may be for you. To be fair the food is…read morenot worth mentioning apart from saying that it is typical pub grub and is cheap. Reasons to go here are basically as follows. You like a real local pub feel that has an Irish feel, you like watching horse racing, football, rugby or sports events but keep in mind a lot of these will be Irish based or you like live music. For me it was o.k. but the locals were a bit frosty. It has a smoking area front and back and a pool table if you fancy a game. They also have a Golf side, pool team and a fantasy football competition so if these appeal then it might be for you. Don't forget St Patrick's day once a year which I am sure would be a blast (as it is everywhere) - Typical Irish pub, worth a visit if you haven't been to one before or enjoy the craic. It has a very loyal local patronage, so somewhere you might find some new friends if they warm to you.

The food is not great, it very heap at £2 for a sandwich I can only imagine why it is so cheap. I suppose being Irish would help to make any of the above more appealing, but when my husband just had to go there to watch a game, me and my friends had a friendly pool game instead. Even so, I did not feel at ease, simply because of all the blokes, screaming and being very loud and obnoxious. Also some bartenders have a very harsh accent so you must pay close attention, which is hard with all the background noise. The outside area stinks too much of cigarettes as it a heated area and therefore attracts many smokers. Definitely not for me, or anyone who appreciates talking and listening.

I remember going to the bar at the Crazy Bear restaurant that was a sunken bar...you kinda sit on…read morethe bar stools and the bar is below you! But I don't think I've ever been to a venue where there is a sunken stage, until this place. I love this venue! I mainly come here to watch The Smyths gigs where they play here twice a year, a summer and then a Christmas show. It's run by a really friendly, down to earth guy who loves his music and most nights they have a band playing, open mic or a comedy night on. Because of the layout of the stage you can pretty much get a good view from wherever you are, depending on how close to the action you want to get - down low on the stage level or upstairs on either of those two levels. There's some decent beer on draft and prices are reasonable too. The DJ that plays after The Smyths gigs who DJs here frequently plays all of my favourites....lots of 80s Indie, Britpop, New Wave, 60s etc but the only thing that slightly puts me off is because its open until 4am on the nights that we go you can get an odd group of clientele walking through the door after about 1am. Basically people falling through the door that are already smashed, they don't care where they are and they want to drink tequila through the eyeballs until they puke it out of their noses. They can be a little annoying falling all over the place but thankfully they are few and far between, apart from that this venue is pretty perfect for me.

The Good Ship is about 2 minutes walk from the critically acclaimed music venue, The Luminaire, so…read morethis little place has a lot to live up to. The bar itself is pretty bog standard and the actual music / comedy venue is basically a little space within that bar, all on the one floor. It's an odd layout. The stage is lower than the ground level and therefore gives a "gallery" feel to the live events as people can huddle around and watch from above. I have not seen any comedy at this venue before but I have seen a few bands here. I'm not sure I like the way it's designed and the sound doesn't carry very well. It almost seems like what could be a totally perfect, awesome little pub is simply just trying to hard to be something it's not. If you are just wanting a quiet drink, you simply cannot do that because as soon as a band hits the stage, all are forced to listen and there's no getting away from the live music. Having said all this, the saving grace here is that The Good Ship's owner, John, is super friendly and accommodating and the rest of the bar staff follow suit. It's not the best place in the world to hang out and see a band but it wins extra brownie points for it's casual and relaxed vibe.
