What Is Amazing Grace?
Amazing Grace is a brand spanking new live music bar in London, with a fantastic restaurant area and a range of delicious drinks on offer.
Our customers come to us for after-work drinks, date-night dinners, nights out with friends, bottomless brunches and ticketed events – all with great live music and DJ sets.
We put on a huge variety of nights and events, from regular Gospel Brunches to ’90s garage nights.
We can also hire out our venue space to let our customers put on events of their own – whether that’s birthday parties or wedding receptions, corporate events or product launches.
We set out to create a unique space for live music that provides something for everyone. And that’s exactly what we’ve done!
Who We Are
We’re a small, dedicated team with a combined experience in the live music industry that spans decades.
Each and every member of our team is passionate about live music.
We think we’re the best at what we do and we love working hard to show our customers that live music doesn’t have to be pricey or expensive – it can, and should, be accessible to everyone.
Our founders, Vineet and Ricardo, are also experts in all things food and drink, and they’ve helped define the vibe we wanted to create.
Great music, great food and great drinks, all under one roof. You can rest assured that you’ll leave our venue well fed and well watered!
We put on a huge range of top-class bands and DJs to bring live music to the masses day in, day out.
If you’re looking for a live music band in London, a night out at Amazing Grace could be just what the doctor ordered.
We work with a close-knit team of in-house staff to make sure our customers have the best experience possible.
We’re friendly, open and always happy to help out. Why not come down for a drink and see for yourself?
Our Ethos
We wanted to open a live music bar in London that would give new life to an incredible venue and an industry that suffered so heavily during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Seeing live music, eating at restaurants and going for drinks with friends and family – these were just some of the things we all had to sacrifice during the lockdowns and periods of self-isolation.
However, as London began to open up, we knew we wanted to create a space that would make live music accessible to as many people as possible.
That’s why we decided to ensure our Thursday, Friday and Saturday night sessions are always free of charge. Simply turn up, grab a beer or a glass of whatever takes your fancy, and enjoy the tunes.
The Venue
Housed in a 12th-century church in the heart of London Bridge, Amazing Grace is a live music bar in London with a difference.
The interior has been totally renovated to create a spacious and contemporary venue space, but we’ve managed to keep some of the incredible period features too.
Step inside St Thomas’ Church to admire the amazing stained-glass windows.
Head to the green-tiled bar to get yourself a drink, then wander up towards the stage, which displays the church’s beautiful altarpiece (dating back to the 1700s) right at its centre.
Want a great view of the bands and a comfy place to sit? Head up the 18th-century staircase to take a seat on our mezzanine floor.
You get a fantastic view of the whole venue from here – including the stage – and there’s a bar up here too, so you don’t have far to go if you want a refill.
Amazing Grace is right in the heart of London Bridge, set between the Shard and Borough Market.
Come out of the tube station at the Jubilee Line exit and you can have a drink in your hand in under 5 minutes – cheers!
The Music
Our team here at Amazing Grace has a pretty eclectic taste in music – we all love discovering new acts, both from the local area and from further afield. With that in mind, we set out to create a live music bar in London that can cater to anyone and everyone’s tastes.
We put on a different genre of music pretty much every night. From funk and soul to disco, jazz to hip hop and garage, we want to let our listeners find something new and rediscover old classics when they come to see us.
Previous performers at Amazing Grace include rappers like Ms Banks, Tion Wayne and Knucks, pop singers like Sam Ryder (yes, of Eurovision fame!), soul stars like Etta Bond and Children of Zeus… and so much more.
We aim to showcase a mix of local and international talent that encompasses a huge variety of sounds. By making music of all kinds accessible, we want to open up our customers’ ears to some amazing music, whether they’ve heard it before or not.

Food and Drink
Amazing Grace is, first and foremost, a music venue, so it makes sense that we put a lot of effort into finding great live acts and DJs.
But we also understand that no night out is complete without some fabulous food and drink!
With that in mind, we wanted to create a place for people to come and hear live music but also get some dinner or have a few drinks with friends.
We work with street-food masters, Krapow to cook up delicious Northern Thai dishes for our diners.
Come in and try a succulent fried chicken burger (our team’s speciality) or a few sharing plates.

Alternatively, book a spot for a Saturday morning to enjoy a bottomless brunch accompanied by a live band.
We offer a dedicated brunch menu with bottomless Prosecco or Bloody Marys, as well as a weekly house special. Bring your friends!
Our drinks menu is also pretty mighty – we’ve partnered up with some great breweries to offer a selection of draught, bottled and canned beers.
We even have our very own house lager that we think is simply brilliant.
If beer isn’t your thing, fear not. We also have a range of wines, cocktails and spirits on offer, in addition to our juices, soft drinks and mocktails.
It’s the touches like this that make us one of the best live music venues in London.
We love music and are proud to champion new artists, but we also know the importance of good food, good drinks and good company.
A night at Amazing Grace gives you exactly that.
