Live at Johnny’s

Johnny’s Basement

Our basement is our main venue for live music featuring everything you need for music to really come alive.

We have full equipment ready to go including microphone, PA system, drums, guitars etc

Soundproofed to ensure full enjoyment of the music

Basement bar is fully stocked and ready for to serve during live events – no awkward trips up and down stairs needed!

Plenty of seating

We have a range of seating arrangements including our lovely basement booth, and other seating around the room to ensure plenty of space to sit and enjoy the music.

We can also move seating out of the way for full enjoyment of the space, whether of not this includes a mosh pit!

Best Cosy Live Music Space in Watford

At our live basement you won’t find much better in Watford and being a short train journey away from central London we can offer a small and intimate space for your fans.

Being so close to the capital of the UK and with so many quick connections we can offer a great place to stay – and without the prices of central London! And with only being a 10 minute walk to Watford Junction, you won’t even need a taxi (unless of course it’s raining)!

After reopening briefly we have now been hit by another curve ball 🤬

Despite attempting to run a reputable independent establishment. PC Diggins from our local friendly police force has decided to  object to our Christmas and New Year license. 

Apparently we run a den of iniquity and Police fear further Public Order issues should Tavares attempt another Unlawful Entry !

Whilst we are on top of this from a legal perspective, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this has caused our regulars and supporters.

We are also aware that the closure of Johnny’s has impacted local businesses. 

We are in the process of making a formal complaint to Senior Officers at Watford Police Station and welcome as much support as possible in order to get Johnny’s open permanently.

We are delighted to announce that after Mario Tavares’ UNLAWFUL ENTRY yesterday the local police have helped us gain peaceable (and legal) re-entry into our own property.
We can’t say anymore because of pending legal proceedings🤨 but we are here for good!

Let’s get back to revving up for Christmas and getting back to what we enjoy doing the most,namely,delivering the best music experience in Watford.
Please come and join us for a Christmas tipple 🍷🥳🍺🍾🥂
