The Cellar Bar occupies a historic cellar space beneath Bedford's High Street (75 High St, MK40 1NE), directly opposite the Faces Monument, carefully refurbished to blend original architectural features with modern design. It's an underground live-music venue and cocktail bar — a fabulous location for intimate gigs, expertly mixed drinks and a buzzing late-night atmosphere, with a rotating selection of premium craft beers and guest ales. The programme is busy and varied: regular free and low-cost ticketed events spanning karaoke, comedy, drag, tribute and original acts, plus separate adult and under-18 open-mic sessions showcasing mixed-genre live music from both local Bedford musicians and visiting players. An in-house PA supports both originals and covers.
