Bands and other musicians who played and socialised there included Georgie Fame, Jimi Hendrix, Bobby Tench, The Gass[2] and Eric Burdon.[3] The venue also hosted an early gig by the Jimi Hendrix Experience,[4] and others who frequented the venue include 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] Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues met his future wife Ann Marie Guirron there as well.[8] Another event is recorded in Mal Evans's memoirs: "January 19 and 20: I ended up drunk in The Bag O'Nails with McCartney and Aspinall".[9] Mireille Strasser met Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits) at The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967. They married on November 5, 1968.

The Bag O'Nails re-opened as a private members' club in March 2013,[10] before closing in 2018.[11] It is now the site of a members' club called The Court.[11]
