Hideaway is the smoothest, grooviest and most soulful place to enjoy fantastic food and live music in London – and that’s not just our opinion, they are now officially the nation’s Best Venue, having received this year’s Parliamentary Jazz Award!
Hideaway features the very best Jazz, Swing, Soul and Blues musicians, showcasing new talent, established artists and star performers, and with something happening five nights a week, you’ll always find something to your taste. Apart from the live gigs, they have regular weekly events: on Mondays they have entertainment in both rooms – our Jazz Workshop and Jam Session is a great night for musicians, with Cuban Hideaway salsa class taking place next door, and comedy shows every Friday and Sunday featuring top stars from both home and abroad (full comedy details on the Hideaway website). Selected Sundays also see the return of their lunchtime shows, with sumptuous roast lunches on the menu, as well as the launch of the new Speakeasy Sundays, a twice-monthly night dedicated to the sounds of New Orleans, run in association with Jazz FM.
The stylish environment of the club creates a laid back, relaxed ambience where you can really appreciate great live music – whether you take a table on the main floor for dinner, or choose instead to sink back into their luxurious sofas.
The Hideaway bar offers something soothing for every palate – an extensive selection of wines, beers and cocktails, all lovingly tasted, tested and described in enticing detail. And if you can’t decide, why not let their master mixologist recommend one of his own signature cocktails?
Hideaway offers a modern, seasonal menu and every dish is freshly prepared in their on-site kitchen. Our chef’s recipes range from traditional British cuisine to dishes inspired by classic international flavours, and the menu never stays the same for long.
You can also buy tickets for any of our events by going to the relevant gig page – please feel free to explore our website – then come and join us for a fantastic night out!
