The Queen of Bradgate sits at 93–97 High Street, Leicester (LE1 4JB) — a craft-beer and cask-ale house with traditional pub dining, a cocktail bar, ping pong and a strong live-music reputation. Over the past several years it has become renowned for its music weekends: a live band every Friday evening and most bank-holiday Sundays, usually covers acts spanning The Jam to The Killers, plus Saturday-night live music on the first floor (which also holds three ping-pong tables). Up to four cask ales, cocktails and a fresh pub menu round out a lively, community-rooted Leicester local.
