The Scotch

Since its inception in 1965, the Scotch Of St James nightclub in London has maintained its status as a cutting-edge and trendsetting establishment. Following a temporary closure in the 1980s, the venue underwent a meticulous restoration in 2012. This restoration artfully melds elements of the 1960s with a contemporary touch, creating a space that pays homage to its heritage while embracing a modern sensibility.

Tucked discreetly behind an unassuming door in Mason’s Yard, the Scotch Of St James offers an atmosphere of intimacy and exclusivity. However, its unpretentious exterior belies the vibrant energy within. Step inside to find a fully stocked bar, cutting-edge sound and lighting systems, and a dynamic crowd of London’s most stylish denizens. The ground floor exudes a warm and inviting ambiance, perfectly suited for relaxation, socializing over drinks, and immersing oneself in the venue’s storied history, artfully showcased on the walls.

Descend into the basement, and the true essence of the club comes to life. Its industrial-inspired aesthetics create a naturally resonant and minimalist backdrop that music enthusiasts recognize as the ideal setting for exceptional live acoustics. The infectious rhythms reverberate within these walls, accommodating an array of music genres, including rock, pop, world-class DJs, and hip-hop.

As a haven for celebrity musicians spanning diverse genres, the Scotch Of St James holds a remarkable reputation. It marked Jimi Hendrix’s inaugural UK performance venue and hosted legendary acts such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Even in the present day, it remains a magnet for celebrities, drawing in figures like Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, and Georgia Jagger.

The club opens its doors on Thursday to Saturday, operating from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Adhering to impeccable dress standards is essential for entry. Strictly avoid sportswear, jeans, or distressed clothing. Instead, opt for a smart casual ensemble that ensures your admission to this iconic venue.
