The Marrs Bar at 12 Pierpoint Street is Worcester's leading independent live music venue, built inside a former dance studio that retains its original 1958 mahogany sprung floor and designed by musicians, for musicians. It runs live music most nights, with a Wednesday jam night for the local scene, all powered by a 5kW house PA, an in-house lighting rig and resident sound engineers. Two minutes from the train station, it is the city's dedicated grassroots music room and a long-standing host of the Worcester Music Festival.
