The Chain Locker is one of Falmouth's oldest buildings — a 16th-century quayside pub on Custom House Quay overlooking the Carrick Roads sailing waters, now part of the St Austell Brewery family with boutique rooms above the bar. The pub hosts weekly live music from local musicians on Thursday nights, 8.30pm to 10.30pm, keeping the lively, salty character of its harbourside setting. A welcoming spot for local musicians playing favourite tunes alongside its food and drink trade.
