The Nest review 2 Users say 5/5 Rate it
RIP Bardens Boudoir. Long live The Nest! The beloved red-and-orange chipboard den of affable iniquity has - after some serious interior overhauling - been replaced. Opened in October 2010, The Nest now boasts an industrial chic look and (mercifully) more salubrious toilets, but its music programme remains the same. 'We will strive to showcase the very best in new, fresh, cutting-edge talent,' the organisers claim. 'We are not interested in promoting acts that have 'made it'; we want to promote acts that will make it.' They seem to be holding hard to their stated intent.

Beast of a soundsystem, went down for FWD on a thursday that was there as a special and previously on a Friday a few weeks before. Cheap entry, top lineups and a great crowd. Think its owned by the guy that runs fabric from what I've heard. Get there but check the events first as there are different nights on.
Went down for Stop.Drop.Roll on Friday, Benji B Brackles and Deadboy killed it! Cool venue, nice sound, suuuuuuuuuuper dark. Loads of sick line-ups coming up.
Dope venue headed down for Russ Yallop, sound was ace, lets hope they keep up their great booking policy!
Full disclosure: I haven't been inside.
But I didn't need to. This place was billed as Bardens Boudoire's replacement, so I literally ran down there when it opened. But was greeted by a rude doorman, velvet rope and an arrogant clipboard-wielding chick at the door. Too depressed to even enter.
Don't get your hopes up.
What a disappointment! I was genuinely excited about this new place opening but all I can say is bring back Barden's! Totally commercial and with no real soul at all - this is a bar for Upper street suits that have got on the wrong bus! Urgh
