The Bag O'Nails was a live music club and meeting place for musicians in the 1960s and situated at 9, Kingly Street, Soho London, England.[1] It had formerly been known as the 'Pinstripe Club' where John Profumo was first introduced to Christine Keeler, a meeting which led to The Profumo Affair.[2]

Bands and other musicians who played and socialised there included Georgie Fame, Jimi Hendrix, Bobby Tench, Gass and Eric Burdon.[3] The venue also hosted an early gig by the Jimi Hendrix Experience[4] and others frequented the venue including Tom Jones, The Who and The Animals.[5]

After the Beatles' recording sessions in London their roadie Mal Evans, personal assistant Neil Aspinall and Paul McCartney would eat at The Bag O'Nails[6] and it was one of their favourite venues.[7] McCartney met his future wife Linda Eastman at the club on 15 May 1967.[4] Another event is recorded in the Mal Evans's memoirs: "January 19 and 20: I ended up drunk in The Bag O'Nails with McCartney and Aspinall".[8]

In 1967 Rik Gunnell took over the management of the Artist Roster after the Flamingo Club in Wardour Street London W.1, where he had previously managed club evenings, closed.[9]

In March 2013 The Bag O' Nails re-opened as a private members club.[10]
