Blues Kitchen

North London


The Blues Kitchen's recipe for success is simple: select brilliant blues bands, host them in a fabulous bar, make it (mostly) free and offer some excellent food and drink. Which means that the crowds keep on comin'. There's live music every night (usually from 9.45pm) – anything from folk and soul to rock 'n' roll – and blues jams from 8.30pm on Sundays.
