Friday Night in East Barnet

The Prince of Wales is an East Barnet pub doing live entertainment without theatre. Acoustic sets, comedy, rotating acts, something different each week. The food and drinks support the evening. What ties it together is the warmth: a room built around people actually listening, not around any idea of what a 'music venue' should be.

It's a Friday if you want live music or comedy away from central London. East Barnet isn't the obvious choice, but that's the reality: the pub works for its neighbourhood, so the atmosphere is genuine.
