An amazing venue, with carefully curated acts, great drinks and all in all, one of the best places you’ll find to enjoy jazz influenced music. Just go - you’ll not be disappointed!

Absolutely stunning eclectic environment! who said Luton wasn’t sophisticated! subtle lighting high lofted wooden ceiling as well as a wood clad mezzanine and high button backed chairs. There is memorabilia everywhere even the toilets have cassettes used as tiling! There is an excellent bar and an amazing decal of a bear in the stage area with highlighted ornate brick entablature. This club could easily be in Soho or Camden. There are regular jazz evenings and other artistic events visit their website

The biggest jewel in Luton's crown, by a long way. World class jazz/blues club which offers jazz, blues, country/Americana and a few excursions to other musical territory. Thankfully open again after the announcement that it would close for good in Spring 2020. The customers and the musicians alike say this is the best place to play and hear live music. Staff add to the special atmosphere, they get to know you and take an interest. Entry prices are great value and all the money goes to the musicians. The house takes drinks money, and the prices are the same as the pubs down the road. Sit back in an armchair or bench in the corner or sit just a few feet from the musicians at a table. Enjoy a few drinks and some of the finest bands around. The Bear is special. The Bear is like a family. All my photos shot from a front table on vintage cameras, using B&W film.

Fantastic venue, great atmosphere! Just loved it and can't wait to go back. Staff very lovely! Had a gorgeous sloe gin 😍 Highlu recommend this place!

Great music. Very friendly bartender/host. Great vibe and drinks at reasonable prices

Cozy little venue with passionate bar staff. Perfect location for intermediate gigs. Arrive Early for a good seat.

Amazing venue for live music, comedy, board games and more. Lovely staff and a cool vibe.

A very good evening, our first vist to the Bear Club. The staff are very helpful, drinks price reasonable and the Band on the night, "The Topcats" were excellent. Will definitely be going back. A great venue.

Nothing quite like it for miles around. Even if you're not a fan of jazz, seeing acts live in a small, intimate venue like this, accompanied by fine beers and cocktails is quite the experience

Great venue. Really enjoyed the evening. Reasonably priced bar, no food, but did have crisps. Definitely will return.

Fantastic night out. I went to see Ray Gelato there and had a wonderful night with wonderful people 😀 Great place to go and a very lovely atmosphere

What a find!!! Love this venue. So intimate. We found it very welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. Great fun and a great place

Small intimate jazz club so great to hear live jazz. The players were all individually talented and also as an ensemble. Fantastic night out.

Brilliant live music place with boutique wines and beers. Pity its closing soon as probably the best place to go in Luton!

Probably the best place in Luton to go to for a fun night out. The music is always fantastic, and there is always a huge selection of drinks to choose from including rare gins and craft ales. It's a warm and friendly place that welcomes everyone.

As usual, fantastic music, great selection of drinks and a thoroughly good night out. Always enjoy a trip here. Its a shame its currently planned to close mid December. This place always pleases with the music.

Really nice place pretty much in the heart of Luton. A bit hidden from the main road. Good beers and cocktails. You won’t eat here (they serve snacks), but definitely will enjoy the vibe. Something that Luton really needed.

When visiting family... Love going to The Bear Club.... Really amazing live music and such talented musicians/singers.... Always a good time had!

Great live music venue, playing Jazz and Blues. Better than a lot of places in London even! Musicians are great, drink prices aren't too dear and the layout is intimate and has good acoustics. Fills up pretty quickly so get there early if you want a seat

Fantastic night. Great live music and a few drinks with friends. A hidden secret, that needs coming out. Go visit.

First time back since the start of the pandemic and the Bear Club is still the best thing to come out of Luton in years. Amazing atmosphere, top acts (Kitty La Roar Trio tonight), excellent vibe. Great selection of beers, supporting local breweries too. All round a top evening out, and a secret we need to hang on to, so please keep supporting the Bear...
