If one of the things when you look for pubs in London is a solid reputation for live music and supporting pristine talent then the Bar Fly is the place for you.
Well known and respected both locally and on the national circuit the Bar Fly has a great habit of hosting upcoming talent just before they break it on the mainstream often alongside better known established acts. Previous evenings have seen the audience enchanted by a very young and slightly drug addled Russell Brand, guerrilla gigs by The Libertines and even a one of acoustic set from Clapton himself.
The beer is a little less tasteful than you would honestly hope but then again, that’s not really why you are there is it? When the company and entertainment is this good this is one occasion where beer and food is secondary for a pub.
