Background on the 'Stripes Bar'

Last updated : 15 April 2005 By Smallsy
Located at Brentford FC
in West London over the last 3 years the Stripe Bar has become the place to 'bee' for Brentford fans!

It is a popular music venue, who are happy to accommodate any musical genre, and in our short history have covered rock, jazz, folk, funk, punk, soul and more. The artists are a mixture of up-and-coming and/or local bands, and better-known 'names'.

The gigs have become increasingly successful, and we they are very pleased to be developing a popular music venue in a part of London which is starved of live music.

The capacity is 180, and normally they charge £5 admission, payable on the door. On 'special occasions' tickets can be purchased in advance. Gigs are normally on a Friday, with occasional exceptions. Discounts are available for students, under 16's and OAP's.

The gigs are all benefits for Bees United, a fans' organisation dedicated to securing the future for Brentford FC, and which now plays a very significant part in the running of the Club. None of the people organising the gigs get any financial profit from doing so. Artists get paid though, of course.

The nearest tube stations are Gunnersbury and South Ealing however they are both around 15 mins walk, alternatively you can take the 65 bus towards the ground which will shorten your journey time.
