Strange pub to me. I've seen this pub many many years and even been there many many times over many…read morea year. It appears like a 'local' pub. Well actually it once was with much more dodgy clients but thats gone now and it's done up, with even a roast being advertised with much more families turning up. Can't out finger on it, I'm not sure what It is trying to be. Maybe nothing, just a run of mill pub. I want to like it, not the biggest fan of the bar being so narrow as you walk in though the beer was ok. Prepared to give it a chance though and visit again. Suppose it's perched in a strange location. Hoping it has some sort of music night as I think a theme would be good for a pub like this actually.

I visited this pub on a Sunday afternoon for the weekly jazz jam session. Apparently it's been…read moregoing on for the last 30 years! The live music comes from a large room in the back. (Cover charge is £5) The first hour is a jam session by the regulars and the second half is open mic for local singers. I was actually there to see a friend perform. The ambience is warm and welcoming, it's fantastic! Most people seem to live in the neighborhood and everyone is having a great time listening and dancing. Their Swedish pear cider was great if you like sweet cider. I really liked the breaded brie with cranberry sauce and eggy creme brûlée. I also tried a bite of falafel burger which was quite good.

We saw The Amazons here in October 2022. We got to the venue after they had already let a ton of…read morepeople in and lined them up on the stairs to enter the concert space. Once they opened the concert space, they let the rest of the people who were outside waiting, in the venue. We immediately went to the bar and ordered some wine. We hung out there a while while we waited for the show to start. It was comfortable and a nice place to wait. The show space is very unique and had amazing sound. Even though we went in to the show space later, we could still see the stage really well. The Amazons were awesome and I'd definitely return to this venue.

I went to the Roundhouse last night to see The National play the iTunes Festival. And I gotta say,…read morethis is my kind of venue! Why? FOOD We turned up to the venue hungry and there was food! And by food I don't mean dirty water hot dogs but rather, nachos, burgers, peri peri chicken sandwiches and even a portobello and goat cheese sandwich (all of which were grilled to order on a BBQ.) OUTDOOR TERRACE Better still, we were able to consume said food outside, with beer. A concert venue with a terrace? Two words: hell yes! SCREENS The camera work during the concert was excellent and beamed up on two large screens which helped me to feel almost as if I were on the stage. ACOUSTICS You'll definitely get awesome aural at Roundhouse! SEATING I know, I know, all the kids are on the floor spilling drinks all over one another, jumping up and down, swapping spit and whatnot, but at this point in my life it is terrific to be able to take in a show from a seat with an incredible view! Now, if only I knew someone with an extra VIP pass to: The xx on 12 July and Florence + The Machine on 13 July Le sigh, a girl can dream...

It was meant to have 370 people but probably maxed out at 50 at any given time. But that's another story. The bar was small, but well-stocked and there was also some live music playing. All I remember were very tall men wearing suspenders ( those are braces, if you're a Brit) and a whole lotta lederhosen on stage. Everyone in the audience was dancing feverishly, and everyone looked like they were having a great time. The place wasn't air conditioned, so I had a bit of a Marilyn Monroe moment as I walked past the fan and into the bathroom area. I'm not sure I'd make it back here again (it's a bit far) but it looked like a cozy, intimate, and fun place if you're into the slightly strange. Apparently, there's live music/performances every night!

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.

Extremely Unsafe & Discriminatory for Disabled Guests - Please Read Before Attending…read more I'm leaving this review after months of being ignored by KOKO Camden following a serious incident that occurred on 27th February 2025. I emailed the venue on 28th Feb and again in full detail on 3rd March -- both emails were completely ignored. I attended the venue for a concert and had followed all proper procedures, including emailing the access team months in advance to confirm I would be bringing food, water, and medical supplies due to my Type 1 Diabetes. This was approved via email and in line with KOKO's own accessibility policy on their website, which states that attendees can bring food, drink, and medical items for health conditions. I had also attended this venue many times before with no issues. Despite this, upon arrival: * Security refused to let me bring in any of these items, even after showing them the official email from the access team. * My medical necessities were confiscated, and I was left with minimal supplies. * I was mocked and belittled by multiple staff members, including one who said, "That's a whole shopping bag," despite the bag being standard size and containing medical items. * I was taken into a back room by the venue medic (named Matt), who also dismissed my access needs, questioned my condition, and sarcastically asked, "So is a 1-minute response not good enough for you?" For someone with diabetes, 1 minute can be the difference between being fine and passing out. Despite all this, they refused to let me carry the bag with me and said staff could "bring items if needed" -- something that simply did not happen when I actually needed them. Throughout the night: * I became hyperglycaemic from stress, then hypoglycaemic later, and was unable to access my own supplies in a timely manner. * Staff were unresponsive, dismissive, and even shouted at my friends and PA when they tried to help. * I was denied access to the accessible toilet after the show -- the only response was "it's closed, use the regular one." * When I finally got my bag back, the medic questioned whether my blood sugar was actually low and condescendingly offered unsolicited advice -- at the end of a night where his refusal to listen had already endangered my health. I had medical documentation, an access card, official email confirmation, and visible medical devices. Still, I was denied the basic rights and support I need to safely attend an event. KOKO's own website says they "welcome all attendees who need to bring food or drink to manage a medical condition," but their staff did the opposite. I left this event physically unwell, distressed, and genuinely frightened by how little my access needs were respected. If I had passed out or worse, it would have been entirely the venue's fault. That's how serious this was. The fact that no one at KOKO has responded to me months later shows a complete lack of responsibility and care. This venue is not safe for disabled attendees in its current state. Until KOKO radically improves staff training, communication, and actual accessibility practice, I strongly urge anyone with access needs to stay away.

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.
