Spiritual Bar is an intimate live-music venue at 4-6 Ferdinand Street in Camden's Chalk Farm, a five-minute walk from Chalk Farm tube. It hosts live music six nights a week — Tuesday through Sunday until late — built around a tiny stage and a warm, exclusive-gathering atmosphere, with mostly acoustic singer/songwriter performances of originals and the occasional cover. Its weekly Tuesday open mic is a Camden institution, and the bar became so beloved by musicians and fans that in 2015 it launched its own record label and online music channel, Spiritual Records. A genuine grassroots springboard for emerging acoustic talent.
