The Scotch

Since its inauguration in 1965, the Scotch Of St James nightclub in London has consistently maintained its reputation as a cutting-edge and trendy establishment. After a temporary closure in the 1980s, the venue underwent a meticulous restoration in 2012. It artfully combined elements from its original 1960s design with contemporary touches, resulting in a unique and stylish atmosphere that pays homage to its storied heritage.

Nestled behind an unassuming little door on Mason’s Yard, the Scotch Of St. James offers an intimate and exclusive ambience that belies its unpretentious exterior. Once inside, you’ll find a fully stocked bar, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, and a vibrant crowd of London’s most fashionable and trendsetting individuals. The ground floor provides a cosy setting, ideal for unwinding, enjoying drinks, and immersing yourself in the venue’s history as showcased on its adorned walls.

The basement is where the true heartbeat of the club emerges. Its industrial aesthetics create a raw and minimalist environment that music enthusiasts believe for its impeccable live acoustics. The infectious beats reverberate within its walls, accommodating various music genres, including rock, pop, world-class DJs, and hip-hop.

As a haven for celebrity musicians spanning various genres, the Scotch Of St James boasts an illustrious reputation. It proudly holds the distinction of being Jimi Hendrix’s first UK performance venue and has hosted iconic acts such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Even today, it remains a favoured haunt for celebrities, drawing the likes of Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, and Georgia Jagger.

The club opens its doors on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM, offering a window into London’s vibrant nightlife scene. Adhering to a strict dress code is imperative.
