Customer Review Summary
Live music is what reviewers return to at this pub, with bands at least three times a week and an open mic and jam night every Tuesday that one reviewer says brings real talent to the fore. Sunday afternoon sets get repeated mentions, and diners name a ska, two tone, rock and indie act and a band playing a Sunday afternoon gig as highlights. Close behind is the friendly atmosphere and staff, with several describing a bar team that never stopped moving and one saying the staff and owner made a visiting friend from the US feel like a local. Reviewers also point to reasonable drink prices, a beer garden, a pool table, darts, a juke box and a charity quiz. One reviewer notes the pub is run by a musician, and another mentions nostalgic music on the walls. No complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer describes leaving to a polite goodbye and a "come back soon" from the staff.

“Absolutely love this pub. It's a great music venue with plenty of varied artists and groups Tuesday night is open mic brings some real talent to the fore. We've been going there for about four years and really recently introduced friends who absolutely love it too. Spent many a Sunday afternoon enjoying the bands as well as Christmases on New Year's Eves. Service is good alcohol prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is great Everyone is very friendly and it's a lovely pub to be in.”

“This gem of a live music venue is tucked away in Apsley and absolutely worth a visit! An awesome indoor and outdoor area, parking, an excellent selection of drinks and snacks, a pool table, darts, juke box, friendly atmosphere and LOADS of live music offerings plus a fab charity quiz - what more could you possibly want?! They have some of the best bands I’ve ever seen and this little boozer is full of charm, I’m always looking forward to my next visit! Five stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
