The Wobbly Cobbler is a community micropub on Scotforth Road in Lancaster (LA1 4SA), opened in 2020 in a former florist's shop and now an established, dog-friendly local. With a cosy interior, heated outdoor seating and a strong line in cask ales and keg beers from independent breweries, it punches above its size as a grassroots music spot. The headline event for performers is its weekly open mic every Tuesday — a relaxed, welcoming slot night for singer-songwriters and acoustic acts drawing on the venue's PA. A Thursday quiz rounds out the events calendar. Capacity is small (around 80), making for an intimate, friendly room ideal for first gigs and local talent.

Scotforth, LancasterAbout the night
The Wobbly Cobbler is Lancaster's friendly little micropub on Scotforth Road, big on independent cask ales and a warm, convivial crowd. It hosts an open mic on Tuesday evenings — an intimate, low-key session that suits the small, chatty room. Free to play and free to watch; bring your instrument and join in or just settle in with a pint. A proper grass-roots local spot.
