About the venue
Camden Barfly
Capacity: 200
Nearest tubes: Camden or Chalk Farm Road
The Barfly club used to be at a tiny venue called the Falcon. The Monarch, where it is housed now, isn't an awful lot bigger. Well, the bar is. You will enter a bar and then have to climb some stairs to get to see the bands, so god help you if you're drunk. There is a small bar upstairs too. Be warned: pints cost £3 at the weekend.
Has seen recent secret gigs by JJ72 and Puressence. Also played host to The Barfly Sessions (Channel 4 TV) and Coldplay played among others. Grrrate.
Every small band wants to play here. On a good night, the sound is great and there will be a decent atmosphere. Can get really stuffy and cramped on a busy night though.
You will get your hand stamped with INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH ink when you enter. This will not wash off for at least a week, so you might get away without paying again in that time. ;-)
