The Tavern on Horley High Street bills itself as the town's number one music venue and programmes something live almost every night: free pool on Monday, open mic on Tuesday, a quiz on Thursday, karaoke on Friday, live bands on Saturday and an acoustic session on Sunday. Live music is always free to get in, which is rare enough in the Gatwick corridor to be worth saying. Out the back there is a lit and heated paved garden with a pool table and table football. It is a small, genuinely grassroots room and the Tuesday open mic is the obvious entry point for performers around Horley, Redhill and Crawley.
