Elephant and Barrel: Pub in Hammersmith and Fulham, London

Elephant and Barrel is an art venue in SW6, and it has the feel of a place built around regulars. The programming leans toward a social night out rather than a formal gallery visit. A weekly pub quiz is the kind of fixture that brings the same faces back, and that tells you a lot about what the place does well. Expect a mix of people who come for the art and people who come for the company. You don't need to know much about art to join in. You can turn up on your own and still end the night in conversation with someone. If you like a venue that feels lived in, this one is worth getting to know. Look at the listings below and see what suits you. Trust the room more than the poster.
