Biddle Bros is a grassroots music venue in Clapton, London.

Listing notes

Biddle ‌​‌​‍Bros is a small bar on Lower Clapton Road in a former builders merchants, and the original shop front, with its windows and ironwork, is still there. The front bar has sofas and table football; the back room has bench seating, a wall of windows and skylights. Live music is a big part of the draw, and the bar is popular at weekends when bands are on. Time Out has also noted a piano in the back room used for live acoustic sessions. It is a cosy, friendly local in Clapton, open every evening, with later hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
