229 The Venue: Pub in Fitzrovia, London

229 The Venue is a food venue in W1W, and its nights lean towards music and movement. The kitchen comes first, and the programme grows out from there. It suits anyone who wants a proper meal and a room that gets livelier as the evening goes on, without having to choose between the two. Expect social, music-led nights rather than a formal stage show. They're built for groups and for people who want to be part of the room, not just watch from the side. The crowd tends to mix friends who came for the food with people who came for the music. If you like a place where dinner can turn into a dance, this one is worth a look. The events listed below show what's coming up.
