Loving this dive bar gem covered with posters and tats. Went there to see Margarita Witch Cult and enjoyed the evening. I was surprised about the massive sound in such a small venue. Earplugs are available at the bar. The cocktails are stiff and the own brew lager is good as well. Will certainly come back for more soon. More

The person with the long dark hair behind the bar really looked after me with my leg injury, always made sure people were considerate and kept me a seat at the bar. Really touched my heart and I really appreciate it. Not to mention the bands and the venue are amazing xx

  • Caïna Verrin

The place is an absolute oven! It’s tiny but that adds to the fun of the place when there’s a great band on. It’s pretty easy to get to as it has an overground station and plenty of busses near by. Clapton pond is across the road and a great place to hang out.

Fun small bar, good music. My one criticism would be that they take ages to reply to booking requests, and this seems to be so they accommodate their mates and the coolest looking people first.. then offer out the leftovers for anyone else. It’s quite cliquey.

  • Tom Allen

Fun offbeat small bar. It's not cozy, it's literally the passageway between two buildings that's had a roof slapped on top of it, but that gives it a slightly more edgy vibe. Staff were cool, crowd was fun and friendly. Drinks a bit pricey...

  • denmister101

Transform into Jack Kerouac or Dean Moriarty as you enter East London's most authentic and iconic dive bar. I love everything about this place. The drinks are cheap, the people are cool. The vessels into which the drinks are poured are even

  • Von von Sonnex

I think it's safe to say Blondies is unique, due to its owners & clientele (young, old, local & people from around the world, new stories! Old stories, it's what makes the place) which create a vibe that is chilled even when the live bands

  • Таня Грабовская

nice decor but don’t go if ur queer presenting. staff gave us weird looks the whole time we were there. they took away our darts bc we couldn’t play it well enough apparently (my friend dropped one on the floor what a crime). we left very

  • Kasike Yaracuy Guaicaipuro Tamanaco

One Hell of a great place to have a night out. Refreshing vibes, great weekly events, great annual events, awesome staff, great owners, what more to say? Look if you dig anything from Rock and Roll to Death Metal, and anything in between

  • Jak Ivings

Honestly, Blondies is now my favourite place to go! My friend Seth and I had a great time! Music was amazing (they actually played Nick cave) then the cover band were sick as well and spoke to the lead after and he was sound! It was that

  • Anthi Valavani

A star for the atmosphere, a star for the hazelnut rum, a star for the prices. No star for complete lack of ventilation (nearly suffocated!) and no star for complete lack of Covid-safe strategy (at least you could ask for a covid pass or

  • Karen Ellis

A tiny dive bar near Clapton Station. Very quirky, metal rock vibe. The band were setting up a swe arrived which meant without a ticket we were asked to leave by 8.30 (worth bearing in mind on Thursdays) but we enjoyed the beers we had

  • Chris Jones

Such a wicked place! Staff are amazing, owners are awesome and the clientele are super friendly. Love that they try to out something in every night of the week from DJs and bands to quiz nights. Cannot sp ak highly enough about it.

  • Malcolm Callus

Saddens me to have to write this (1st bad review I'm ever writing for anyone in fact) but was left appalled by this venue tonight, and I hope this will be a one-off that won't repeat itself to future punters including myself.

  • Richard Palmer

Smallest venue I've ever been to. Which is part of its charm. Literally walk in the door and your on the stage. Great decor fast friendly staff. Average price drinks. Fab sound considering the size of venue. Great night out

  • Chris Brown

A great pub/venue with a beer garden at the rear, although the pub itself is very cramped if a band is playing. Great service from the staff with an excellent playlist playing when the band(s) aren't playing More

  • Thankyou for your EMAIL

I was at blondies on thursday last week. This is the place to be!! Great vibes, our server was a tall kiwi guy and he was fantastic!! Cannot wait to go back my new fave place in London!

  • Lillah

Fantastic dive bar, had a lot of fun here on NYE. Only issue was one of the bartender's was too drunk to even pour straight. Messed up our drinks a couple of times and overcharged us.

  • Russell Burgess

Staff are awesome, cocktails are well made and there are a lot of Whiskey based ones and rum. The bar has a continental vibe to it, almost like a small bar in Spain or

  • Laura Blake

Love Blondies as a queer presenting human! They are LGBTQIA+ welcoming and it’s one of the only bars in London I feel truly safe. The bar staff care and are nice.

  • Claire

I've been meaning to leave a review for a few months now. Visited earlier this year on the day the bar re-opened, the staff were lovely. Fantastic hospitality!

  • Nice Henners

A rocker venue, with great cocktails. The staff are fun and lively and the service good. Beers and wine are also served.
