Troubadour in Kensington and Chelsea

Great place to go if you are in London looking for an authentic local experience. The food, the music, the atmosphere is great! Good as a plan with friends or family.

Was ok, a famous pub for early career singers

The food and the wine are not it here, avoid drinking and eating. Good vibes tho

Just a cup of tea but the ambience and music history is immense

An unforgettable evening with a jazz concert. Great, very friendly service. Delicious food and good drinks. A highlight!!! You should definitely experience it...perhaps a world star will come along spontaneously...

Small and super characteristic place in London! The guys who run it are all very young, super approachable and nice. The sandwiches are very good, as are the beers

Food was excellent, the French atmosphere felt a bit unauthentic or overdone, but we had a great meal, the menu and wine lists were on point

Great venue, and the staff are the best, but the dj seemed scared of copy right infringement, at least tonight. The experience would have been much better if it werent for the music

A coffee house that focuses on music such as folk, blues, and jazz. The store is decorated with many guitars and photos of famous people. However, the food selection is substantial, including sandwiches and salads. The sandwich, which I ordered with avocado paste on toast and smoked salmon, was perfect for brunch. I heard that Bob Dylan also visited when he was young. There were certainly a lot of Complete Unknown flyers posted there.

This review is for the restaurant only. We went to see a show there so decided to get a bite at the restaurant to save some time. Bad choice. The place was crowded as one would expect so we took one of the 2 tables outside. The doorman was nice enough to find someone to get us menus. And that was the last we saw of anyone who worked in the restaurant. We waited over 20min and realized we would miss 1/3 of the show by the time the food came even if the server showed up then which seemed unlikey. We decided to cut our losses and just grab some food at the nearby Tesco.

Great place to come and socialise. Good music, good atmosphere, friendly staff. I haven't had food.

The level of the artist was very high, staff very friendly and polite especially downstairs during the performance. I will definitely come back !

Wonderful food and great service.

Great evening seeing live music in this iconic venue

Mythical place, fantastic food, we went Tuesday at noon and we were practically alone but they spoke very well of it and its atmosphere with live music.

Me and my husband stopped in here one night to catch a show and had such a fun experience. It was really cool to sample the local music scene here! The food is also amazing! Would highly recommend the ribs they are delicious. The service was great and overall this place has a great vibe. Would recommend this place to any traveler trying to get off the beaten path.

Servicio hosco. Esperó más de una hora para que se sirviera la comida. Comida de calidad media. Hemos sido clientes de larga data del Trovador y aunque nos encanta el lugar físico y el ambiente los estándares han bajado hasta el punto de que no volveremos.

I had an extremely disappointing experience here. My friend and I were seated in a cramped corner, which was already off-putting. We waited far too long to have our order taken, and then even longer to be served. When we tried to get their attention by calling them over, they ignored us. To top it off, we requested to have the service charge removed as it was 12.5%, the staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional about it. Overall the service was slow, dismissive and frankly, insulting. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

Great place. The only place in the area open later than 11pm on a Thursday night. Beers are between £6-8 for a pint.

Great service. Charming atmosphere. Vegetarian and vegan options.

Legendary club in London. Did not eat. Just had a couple of beers downstairs. Did not get lost on my way to the toilet. 😀

Fuimos un viernes por la noche y estaba muy ocupado. Nos hicieron sitio. La comida era muy buena, lo mejor que tuvimos en Londres en este viaje. Las costillas tenían un gran sabor y literalmente se cayeron del hueso. También compartimos un sándwich de brisket y pollo. Ambos fueron excelentes. Muy recomendable.

Great live jazz with tasty grub and great selection of grog. Go there!

Very interesting place to visit

Great old school music bar hidden below a coffee shop/restaurant. Some great history.

Very nice place. We didn't eat, only drank. But the service was super super fast and the staff was very friendly. They have a wide selection of cocktails, wine, and beer.

For the short time that I was there. The atmosphere was the best. I loved the way the restaurant was decorated. The one act I saw was amazing though. The area was smaller than I thought it would be, but that was fine.

It is a very cool and curious pub. The food is delicious and the music is excellent. Downstairs they have a venue with live music but you have to buy tickets a little in advance. Highly recommended!

I've noticed a consistently bad attitude among the staff here, which has been a recurring issue for several years, probably since around 2021. It's disappointing because I used to enjoy coming here before all the changes happened, but now I question why I bother. The constant repetition of the same historical facts like 'Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan played here' doesn’t make up for the lack of customer service.

I think that the Gooey Sticky Toffee Pudding has been the best dessert I’ve ever had

Honestly, would never have went in there if it was not for the guard who told ud about the basement. Class security! Also felt very safe with him around

Fantastic place and the food was amazing 👍👍

Really enjoyed food and drinks great atmosphere...manager rather arrogant and no personal interaction..disappointing.

Great and friendly staff , tasty drinks , good prices , amazing atmosphere , music and decor

Didn’t eat but didn’t want to give an unfair star rating as the venue itself was really fun. Lovely garden out back, downstairs for a gig was small and packed but good fun and the bar staff were great

The pasta of the week was a risotto. When I said, lightheartedly, that risotto was a rice not a pasta the waitress argued back very patronisingly saying that Italians view risotta as pasta. I googled this ‘fact’ and discovered that Google also thinks that Italians do not believe risotto to be a pasta. The point is irrelevant but the fact is that she was very aggressive, needlessly so, and the risotto when it came was horrible anyway and delivered to me with a sneer and a scowl.

La camarera era desordenada, discutible y grosera. La comida no era comestible. No podía salir de allí lo suficientemente rápido. No te vayas.

A must go in this area, live music at night. Real English food in the day

The place is great. Good atmosphere. The dishes are great. But on the other hand disappointed with the desserts.

Beautiful pub in the Earl's Court area where you can spend a pleasant evening with live music. We ate very well, delicious ribs and shepherd's pie. On Sunday evening there was jazz music, a characteristic atmosphere with soft lights, really beautiful. Top service, I recommend it!

Pasé por aquí de camino a Waterloo para volver a casa después de un viaje a Londres, principalmente solo para ver si el cartel de K - On! seguía en la ventana después de todos estos años, (¡que es! ) y me pedí el Desayuno Inglés. El personal era servicial y agradable, el ambiente era encantador y la comida era excelente.

Brilliant food and great atmosphere. Reasonably priced and a decent place to be.

Loved this place. Live jazz music, beer, a basement, a lovely garden and good service.

Tasty, moody, eclectic. And what kind of ribs they cook here!!!

We have just arrived in London, the hotel is not far away, very good meal, great atmosphere, and pleasant service. Really appreciated 😊

Vine aquí para la cena de jazz del domingo por la noche. La música era genial y el entorno realmente se sumó a la atmósfera. La comida, sin embargo, era horrible. La hamburguesa brisket estaba bien, pero un poco difícil de comer. La col que la acompañaba solo sabía a mayonesa. Bleh. El marido tenía el vientre de cerdo que no era comestible. Las patatas fritas fueron la mejor parte de la cena. Y toda la experiencia fue súper cara. Si fuera a ir de nuevo (grande si) solo escucharía música y me saltaría la comida por completo.

Good food, good beer, good place. Highly recommended👌🏻

Lovely little gig space. Prices were okay for London.

Lovely bar, great selection of indoor and outdoor seating (with heaters). Drinks were well priced and great atmosphere. Staff were really friendly.

Una institución dentro del ámbito de los pubs en Londres, recientemente fui allí para celebrar el cumpleaños de un amigo y no decepcionó. Excelente y transicional cocina británica, personal agradable y una increíble decoración interna británica / medieval. También tienen una sala debajo de la planta baja para conciertos, pero es necesario reservar entradas con antelación para eso. Además, el lugar es bastante pequeño, así que sin duda recomiendo reservar. ¡Quiero probar el asado dominical así que definitivamente volveré!

What a place. Loved the food, staff and the atmosphere is electric. Can't wait to go back to see some live music.

Bunch of fag it’s work at this club boys, they let a dj who play on his lap too for two hours run the show, security is a joke, homegirls brother can’t dj, and they stuck d, if your American don’t go here.

Wow. Honestly one of the best English Breakfast I've ever had. Homemade beans, flawless poached eggs. Check it out!

Sold out show for James McVey. Far too hot inside the basement part of the venue. There was no air con until after the gig had finished, was no use to me after. Other than that the gig was great and both supports Louis Oliver and Grace Gachot were good too

Amazing experience. Came for jazz night learnt so much from the night with the band giving a history chat as well as playing some amazing music. Freddy on the service side of business was amazing. Great place to grab a pint and take in a fun night.

Very cozy place offering the true English pub experience. Lovely staff, great food, fair prices. Highly suggested! I went for an English breakfast (12£) for the Sunday brunch and it tasted very good.

Saw Martin Carthy perform. Lovely small venue and nice staff.

A phenomenal place with an atmosphere and a delicious place. We regret that we discovered them on the last day of our stay in London.

Tasty food, beers and cocktails, nice atmosphere, live music. A good spot for an evening in our neighborhood.

We went for a local music performance in the basement venue, so didn't try the food and there's no service down there. The venue is small so you are pretty close to whoever is performing even at the back, but it's super narrow and if crowded it's hard to move around and definitely no room to dance if that type of music. Overall cute space but depends what you're there to see

This is my go-to restaurant. Every time I visit, the food and service are consistently excellent. You can tell they really care about quality.

Personal amable y atento, buena selección de bebidas también. Tenía algunas patatas fritas y bocados de halloumi que eran sabrosos

Friendly and attentive staff, decent selection of drinks too. Had some sweet potato fries and halloumi bites which were tasty

Lovely place. The food options are a bit limited, but delicious. If you can catch some live music here, I'd certainly recommend going. It can get really loud and busy, with the decor being quite busy too it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming if you're not ready for it.

It's a very cool pub with very friendly staff and even during the week it was very busy and had a great atmosphere

Estuvimos en Londres unos días y nos encantó este lugar tanto, que decidimos comer aquí dos días seguidos. El personal es agradable y amable, el ambiente es acogedor y la comida es simplemente increíble. Esta es una visita obligada si estás en Londres y quieres pasar un buen rato. Sin duda volveré aquí de nuevo cuando regrese a Londres.

Historic and iconic popular music venue in Earl’s Court, hosting a private stage for famous and upcoming artists since the 1950’s. Serving freshly prepared locally sourced seasonal foods to a high standard! Wonderful and friendly service, beautiful people throughout, great place for a great night! 10/10!

Read the review details I implore you!!!! I am 38 and have never ever had a worst breakfast. The only solice I take is the refund was issued for the whole meal from the, miserable, unengaging, hard to get attention, terrible staff. Definitely no welcome with a smile!!! Toast breaking into a million pieces only to be eaten by hand, 4 poached eggs….hard boiled!!! Needless to say im still hungry…

Cocktails, joke. Food amount, joke. Manager, joke. Paid so much for nothing. I wouldn't recommend.

Never been to a bad gig here - a timeless, special spot in West London with great music

Standoffish staff and high extra charge for oat milk on an already expensive coffee. Bit of a shame really cos the place is lovely!

I had couple of pints with my friends on the alfresco. We had such a good time. The staff was very atentive and friendly

A venue that holds many special memories.

Cozy and unique. The hamburger meat falls apart, it is not kneaded. The ribs are worldwide. The chips are very delicious. The site is worth stopping by on any plan.

Had a coffee and a personal tour of the club by a lovely member of staff.

Excellent as usual fir very late night drink and catch-up

Went for a birthday dinner on Saturday night with my daughter and her boyfriend. I had last been there a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. This time it was very crowded. The atmosphere was good but the service was painfully slow. We had to ask for a menu, ask to order our drinks, ask to order food (the first course arrived after 30 minutes and we had chase our main courses about one and half hours after sitting down). Nothing was written down and there appeared to be no system for keeping track of orders, apart from "wait for the punters to chase us". However, regulars and friends of the waiting staff seemed to get served quicker. A 15% service charge was added to the bill for good measure. I received a "booking feedback" email yesterday, which merely thanked me for booking and hoped we would visit again - without actually asking for any customer feedback!

Amazing place, in terms of history and decoration. Me and a friend came in for a cocktail or two, no food. Diverse drink menu with classic cocktails, which we appreciated. They were not, however, good value for money - a £15 martini, which came barely cold, suuuper boozy (not much diluted by the ice of a shaker) and did not even half fill the (nice) serving coupe. They were super busy and loud even early in the evening (6 PM) so it's understandable, but I found it difficult to get a waiter's attention after the first order. Might be better to avoid the dinner rush crowd and pre-concert hours next time, if just going for a drink.

Oh my God to crazy , the place smells like a Thursday night at a uni party

Monday Early Afternoon. Excellent value for money. Food delicious particularly the Brisket Burgers. Service excellent and a great quirky environment full of great musical history. Ian the Manager was very kind and took us downstairs to the stage and gave us a talk about the history and events. Definitely recommend and definitely going back.

Decent food but overpriced because Bob Dylan used to play in the basement.

We only knew about this place last week when doing an American in Werewolf film location. Today we came for brunch I had the vegetarian breakfast which was delicious and really filling. Great staff will visit again when in the area

Love the English breakfast, very filling and the home made baked beans are spicy and very tasty. Nice atmosphere and chatty friendly staff. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back again!

My favourite pub in London. Every time I’ve been, the service, food and drinks have all been exceptional. The jazz night is amazing and the beer garden is the perfect place for an evening drink / bite to eat.

My experience at Troubadour London was excellent. The cocktails were top-notch, and the starters were equally tasty. The main course didn’t disappoint either. Our server, Richards H., was both friendly and attentive, which enhanced the overall dining experience. The decor was charming and created a cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area. Just a heads-up—be sure to review your receipt when settling the bill, as a discretionary service fee is often

Really nice and pet friendly place. The staff is very helpful!

We stumbled across this place in search for breakfast on a recent weekend away in London. What a find! Lovely little place with a long history of famous musicians playing there. Lots of interesting things to look at inside. The breakfast and coffee are first rate. We will certainly be back!

Very cool space, great service, super tasty food (jerk chicken sandwich is a must).

I had an amazing night at your pub last night with my very good friend.I thought we will be seating alone,but no chance we met lovely people and enjoyed their sense of humor and kindness.Lovely team, thank you for our delicious Negronis will be back🤪😁😊. Look forward trying your food next time:) Thank you!!!!!!🌹

Great food, the fries and the goat cheese salad with roasted piztachios are simply divine! And the soda is really good too. The place itself looks fantastic. There's nothing to complain about here.

Amazing food and great service! You can also go downstairs and for £8 listen to some of the best independent music talent live.

Nice pub, not too big. Not too small. Friendly staff, good music and a nice atmosphere. It's a great place to sit down, eat something, have a drink and talk. There's a garden seating area too. You can see a chunk of music history on the walls, too.

Old, Quirky and authentic with fresh, interesting staff and simple but complex flavoured food. Thoroughly enjoyed the almond, chilli scordalia, olives and pita and beautifully spiced and crusted ribs with troubadour Limoncello & elderflower spritz. Chilled and knowledgeable waiters made the evening in the garden even more enjoyable 👏🏻

We only had ice-cream hence the four stars

The garden is where it's at . Friendly helpful staff ..the brisket burger is the best thing I've put in my mouth for years probably in my top 3

A wonderful place with a pleasant atmosphere in every sense. Live music with great sound

Amazing beef brisket sandwich, welcoming staff and great atmosphere as would be expected from this icon of a restaurant!

Great place to drink and see music. Less good place to eat. Vegi breakfast is solid, salads are a bit rough.

Met with the biggest smile and warm reception despite ordering at 9:40pm, twenty minuets before close! Really fancied some pub grub and they certainly delivered! Can’t thank the owners and staff enough for fitting us in, I know it’s tempting to refuse service towards the end of a long shift and your’e all tired but you didn’t. Thank you very very much!

Loved it!! Cool and casual atmosphere with great food.
