Cracking nights to be had in this pub which has a stellar line up of acts from world class DJ’s to crazy novelty acts. The atmosphere is fun, friendly, and booze isn’t too shocklingly priced. We had a brilliant time one night to ‘Tape the Top 40’ night, old toons to dance along to, mad DJ and dancers just topped off a hilarious night - good fun. Check out their listings as they have loads of different DJ’s and acts on every night, their DJ list can sometimes be amazing considering its a pub (scratch perverts, Zero 7, Justin Robertson, Lottie… phew!)

Bit quirky in their decorations, this bar is most commonly known for its line-ups - including international acts like DJ Yoda (I’d never heard of him but that’s not really my bag). It’s £3 before 9pm, £5 after and yeah pool tables are an extortionate something like £16 an hour!

There is something a bit endearing about this place, however, and we were there last weekend and had a jolly good time though there were no big acts on so it wasn’t too busy. If you live around there I’d definitely give it a go.

The Westbury (formerly The Red Lion), along with The Good Ship and the music venue the Luminaire are probably the bars attracting visitors from outside of Kilburn to look bewildered of a weekend up the high road.

I am informed (by a rather drunk man) that The Westbury is under the same managment as that of Fabric (...but who knows if that's just gin-babblebollocks). But that would explain the line up of hip hop and breaks djs such as The Herbaliser, Mixologists, DJ Vadim...etc etc., and I've even seen Plump Djs on the flyers.

There are huge (HUGE) american pool tables which are charged per hour and are quite pricey.... cocktails ...floral wall paper, lots of mirrors, chandeliers and other decorations which scream "classy".... but not too offensive.... and if you can afford to drink their for long enough....it can turn surprisingly pleasant.

Friday and Saturdays charge £3 entrance at night which is reasonable considering the dj line ups - if that's your thing.

Perhaps the busiest weekend night on the high road.

Makes a nice companion to the more rockier Good Ship if you want to juggle your weekends between the two.
