Bush Hall: Pub in Shepherd's Bush, London

Bush Hall is a W12 venue built around live performance, and the programming reflects that range. You will find songwriters, bands with long careers, and cabaret-style acts sharing the same stage. Nothing here follows a single scene. The crowd is curious rather than dressed for a scene. People come for the act they already know and stay for the one they don't. That mix is the point. If you like a night out with a bit of surprise in it, this is a good room to try. Read each listing before you book, because the styles vary a lot. Then go in open to being surprised.
