12 Bar Club relocates to Holloway Road
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 20 January 2015
Soho venue the 12 Bar Club is set to relocate to new premises on Holloway Road in North London, it has been announced. As previously reported, the venue was given notice to vacate its current site last December.
The venue’s new location is within the Phibbers pub. A grand opening party will take place on 24 Jan, it was announced yesterday, with performances from King Kurt and London Sewage Company.
Speaking to The Islington Tribune, manager Andy Lowe said that the new venue had been selected because it was “cheap” and “available”.
He added: “Obviously, there will be lots of teething troubles as it is such a new and different environment in every sense but it is an area that does have music venues, some of which do well and some not so well. Buffalo Bar used to be just down the road from our new place and that was great. There is a large student demographic in the area so there is a lot of potential there, as some venues have been well sustained around here, but others have not”.
