The Standard is a lively independent bar in the heart of Bedford, located on the High Street and known for its entertainment and nightlife. It also features a rooftop terrace, providing an outdoor space alongside the main bar.
Live music is a major part of what The Standard offers, with house and guest bands performing, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. The venue also hosts regular open-mic and live entertainment events, giving visitors plenty of opportunities to enjoy local and visiting performers.
For something a little different, The Standard is also home to its long-running Bandeoke nights, combining live-band performance with karaoke. Regular karaoke events and open-mic nights make it a popular choice for visitors looking for an interactive and sociable evening rather than simply listening to music.
With its central High Street location, rooftop terrace, bar and regular programme of live music, karaoke and other entertainment, The Standard is a good option for experiencing Bedford’s evening atmosphere. It can also be combined easily with other bars, restaurants and nightlife venues in the town centre.
