The Scotch

Since its inception in 1965, the Scotch Of St James nightclub in London has remained at the forefront of cutting-edge and trendy nightlife. Following a temporary closure in the 1980s, the venue underwent a meticulous restoration in 2012, infusing elements of the 1960s with a contemporary touch, paying homage to its unique heritage and style.

Nestled behind an unassuming door in Mason’s Yard, the Scotch Of St James offers an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. However, don’t let its unpretentious exterior fool you. Once inside, you’ll encounter a well-stocked bar, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, and a lively crowd of London’s trendiest denizens. The ground floor exudes a cosy ambience, perfect for unwinding, sipping on a few drinks, and immersing yourself in the venue’s history, showcased on the walls.

It’s in the basement that the club truly comes to life. Its industrial aesthetics provide a raw and minimalist backdrop, celebrated by music enthusiasts as an ideal space for phenomenal live acoustics. The infectious beats resonate, accommodating a diverse range of music genres, from rock and pop to world-class DJs and hip-hop.

As a haven for celebrity musicians spanning different genres, the Scotch Of St James boasts a remarkable legacy.
