I worked at Aint Nothin But Blues Bar in 2001 and 2002 and I loved it. They had great music every night, always a good atmosphere and a real mix of ages and people. The best nights are Monday, as there is no cover charge, and you can bring your own instrument if you want to jam.


Go early if you don't want to be stood on by the crowds on Friday and Saturdays. The staff at Aint Nothin But Blues Bar were cool then but I don't know now.

Well I love this place. Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar is the best bar in the whole of London. But one of the bar men is a moody and rude bugger! He upset me once and two of my friends for no reason and we go there pretty sporadically. Its like when you ask him for a drink it's as if you're asking him if you can pee in his shoes!



I've been going to Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar on and off for two years and the staff are really lovely but that dude just comes across very moody and pretty rude.

I've been going to the Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar on and off for the ten years I have worked in London and Saturday just gone was the best of the lot. We got in there before 7 and got a seat practically on the stage with the band. It was a brilliant band, great jamming even before they started.



I can't believe that people are moaning about the £5 fee after 9 and smokey atmosphere. It's a Blues bar? Go to All Bar One if you don't like it! Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar is highly recommended, wherever you're from in the world.

I couldn't help myself replying to a previous review posted, when I was in Aint Nothin But Blues Bar it was completely packed and I had a lovely evening. Even though Aint Nothin but Blues Bar has very decent prices but obviously they can't cater for a free ride. I spent £18 (incl. entrance fee) for a perfect night in a perfect ambiance with a perfect band. Well done Aint Nothin But Blues Bar!

I fell in love with Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar from the first moment I stepped through the door! The atmosphere is fantastic and the music always of a phenomenal standard. I personally think that they should be charging as much as Ronnie Scott's for most of their visiting musician gigs.

The clientele at Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar are generally pretty cool. I think the staff are charming and have tremendous patience. I imagine that they are only ever rude to those pretentious people that deserve it. So if you belong in that category (ie some of the previous reviewers), don't go to Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar. This is a unique and wonderful place. Congratulations for creating the perfect night out!

Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar is one of the best bars in London, not to mention the fact that they have really, really good music. I have been going there for just over a year now and I consider it to be my West End local.

Although I must admit it is not for the faint hearted, or for the prudes in the world! You will get pushed and shoved, but you know what, everyone in Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar is humble and easygoing and it's not a big deal. After all we are all humans!

Anyway, I love it, it's a great place to hang out. Very, very cool!

Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar is ace. I left Leeds last month and my favourite haunt was MOJO. Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar has really filled a gap. Don't expect more than the name suggests. This ain't no eatery or (s)wanky bar.

I have been going to Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar for years and often take friends from out of town as you are guaranteed a good night out.

The music, and that is the most important thing here, is always of high quality.
I don't think I have ever left Ain't Nothin But Blues Bar sober and have found the staff nothing but friendly and helpful.

If you want a corporate bar and corporate service levels then go to an All Bar One, if you want a good night out with friendly people then you could do a lot worse than checking out this bar.
