Fodor's Expert Review The Troubadour

A music venue since 1954, this is the last survivor of the coffeehouse scene of the 1950s and '60s that spearheaded Britain's folk revival (it also inspired the Los Angeles music club of the same name). Among the notables who have performed here either at the beginning of their careers or at informal after-gig shows are Charlie Watts (before he joined the Rolling Stones), Bob Dylan (under the name Blind Boy Grunt), Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, and Jimi Hendrix, along with folk legends Sandy Denny and Burt Jansch. More recent headliners include Florence Welch, Paolo Nutini, Ed Sheeran, and Adele. The menu leans toward British and French-inspired comfort food.
