Bubba Oasis, located at 57-58 Upper Street, Islington, London, N1 0NY, is an eclectic and vibrant venue that merges the atmosphere of a laid-back rooftop bar and a versatile nightclub. Originally conceived as a creative community hub, Bubba Oasis opened its doors in the late 2010s, quickly gaining popularity among young professionals and local creatives for its distinctive, welcoming ambiance and unique blend of hospitality, music, and arts. Set within a converted period property in the heart of Islington, the venue boasts a stylish but unpretentious interior, complete with cozy lounges, neon-lit corners, and a lively rooftop terrace offering panoramic views over the cityscape.

While Islington has long been notable for its nightlife, Bubba Oasis carved a distinct niche by focusing on inclusivity, emerging talent, and feel-good vibes, making it a fixture for post-work meetups, weekend parties, and cutting-edge DJ sets. Over time, the venue has adapted to changing nightlife trends, enriching its programming with art installations, themed brunches, and dance events while retaining its staple function as a live music and club night destination. Bubba Oasis has not shifted from its original location but has undergone several internal refurbishments and artistic redesigns, enhancing both aesthetics and acoustics to serve its loyal clientele better.

Its reputation is exceptional for fostering grassroots cultural movements while also attracting established names, positioning it as both a launching pad for London’s up-and-coming talent and a magnet for international acts interested in more intimate, engaging gigs. The venue’s ability to blend relaxed rooftop lounging with high-energy nightlife has cemented its status as a beloved institution in the North London cultural landscape. Notable artists who have performed at Bubba Oasis include international DJs like Horse Meat Disco and DJ Yoda, as well as local favorites such as Melvo Baptiste, Jaguar (BBC Radio 1), and Anna Wall.

The venue’s support for rising stars has seen appearances from emerging acts on the London electronic and indie scenes, and it has provided performance space for talents like Coco Cole and Talia A Darling, alongside regular sets by resident DJs who help keep the club’s energy fresh and its musical programming diverse.
