Oliver's Music Bar, Greenwich, London

Fantastic that’s it done!

A nice private place that my wife and I visit when staying up in North Greenwich. Quirky, ute and quaint, as my wife puts it. Says she much rather be here than in the O2. Great stuff!!

Oliver's Music Bar is one of those places that you'd never stumble upon. That's not to say that it's impossible to find (no passwords or dark alleys here) but you'd need to be looking for it.

But that just adds to its charm. This underground bar doesn't have much in the way of drinks (not much besides wine anyway) but it does have live jazz - expect to pay around £5 for that.

Like most local bars it's also very casual. So casual that the piano player was wearing an Adidas jacket and didn't look out of place. If you come in a fancy dress you won't feel awkward but you would feel, well, dressy. Just come in jeans and you'll fit right in.

Thanks to its secret vibe and dark corners, this place is perfect for a date. But I went with a large group and that was lovely too. Don't bother coming before 8.30 though - it's completely dead before then.

Did what most people do when they first try to get to Olivers and walked straight past it into a dead end. It does rather feel like Alice down the rabbit hole when you finally get downstairs - except without the bunnies and crazy queen, it's actually full of delightful, friendly people that all seem to know each other and are very welcoming....awesome night out...next time must try to listen to the jazz...

Hidden away in Greenwich is this wonderful music venue / bar. Dark and cavernous, the place oozes understated style, and just by stepping in the door you can feel your cool-rating rise by a couple of notches. Saying that, it's by no means a pretentious venue, and would be a great place for a date, or to go to with a close bunch of friends to relax over a bottle of wine and great live music.

One of Greenwich’s more quirky venue’s Oliver’s provides a great venue to relax and see live jazz.

Oliver’s is one of Greenwich’s most hidden charms. Opposite Greenwich theatre the entrance to this bar is downstairs by the side of the Spread Eagle though many would be forgiven for not noticing it there.

A perfect place to end a date and have a glass of wine in the evening. Try it if you get the chance!

you really have to look for this place- its on the left, in the alcove, mind those stairs!. this is exactly the type of place ihave been searching for- yes, its a little pricey, you pay to listen to the band, but considering the quality of the bands that get in there, it really is a small price open till the early hours its a perfect little hideaway. The toilets are as small as you can get!- you have to go there just to take a look its very low a well, which adds to the charm of the place, very warm and friendly, its definately a good club and well worth a visit

What a strange little place! lovely but strange. If you don’t know its there then you aren’t going to find it easily. nice jazz bar, good drinks and a lovely atmosphere. Nice staff and the crowd is always nice in here. i don’t know if anyone else has ever experienced it but there has been a one off night where they have a comedian come in. But more of an open mic night where people get up and change around ect ect…..
The music here is great, if you like jazz, if not then i suggest this isn’t actually your type of place.
It is very cosy in here and in all honesty good for a first date i think or newly together couples. Nice little places in here for a quiet romantic moment ;)
Can stay open quite late but never rowdy as such.
Not sure if this has become one of franks pubs now? or changed ownership in some form?

Hurrah! No one ever knows where this place is! (And it would stay that we if people didn't review it on Qype - catch 22!) I love this bar. It's not only the best late night bar in Greenwich, it might just be one of the best jazz bars in the whole of London.

It's got everything going for it. It looks like a jazz bar for a start. Now that might sounds silly, but how many bars do you see in London that have clearly just thought 'let's have some Jazz one night'. It never feels the same. Olivers is a jazz bar through and through. You have to go downstairs (for some reason I find this important) and it's red and dark and a bit sleazy. It's very intimate and wonderfully romantic, but you can also go here with a bunch of mates.

The music they have is great. Really well chosen. Very chilled on a friday, more lively on a Saturday. Perfect. They've got a new lounge bar which doens't feel like it's just been 'added on' for the sake of it. They've really thought about it.

They stay open til about 3, sometimes 4 and you can't come here and not have fun. Though I do suggest that if you come here with anyone of the opposite sex, it might be too tempting to share a kiss in a sneaky little corner...

It's quite a romantic place for late night drinks, looks like a piano bar actually. The place is located in a quiet corner of busy Greenwich and doesn't really catch the eyes, after few visits I still walked pass the entrance every now and then.

Oliver is not opened everyday so better call and check their business hours beforehand. Never seen it busy before. The place is quite spacious and has lots of interesting stuff to draw your attention. Nice music too.

Olivers is a seedy little Jazz bar, situated in the heart of Greenwich and ideal for those who want a late night drinking spot without venturing into Central London.
The bar is unsophisticated to say the least; one ‘barman’ with some coke bottles, spirit optics and a fridge full of beers, but this all adds to its charm.
The main room is low lit, with rawt iron tables and chairs and a New York Blues Bar feel to it. They almost always have live music on (usually Jazz) and its owner; Oliver can usually be found sharing a drink and a chat with customers.
Closing time is when the last people leave and I would thoroughly recommend it to South Londoners who want to impress their friends with an ‘I know this little place’ bar that as a passer bye you would never know existed.
