The Glenn Social & Sports Club on Victoria Road in North Watford has become one of the town's few dedicated live music venues, pulling in cover and function bands every Saturday from 9pm and running an open mic, karaoke or DJ on Fridays. It has its own well-regarded in-house PA, which bands consistently praise, plus three snooker tables, two dart boards and a pool table, and big screens for the sport. It is a friendly, no-frills members' club that welcomes new members and visiting CAMRA card-holders, serves cask ale, and opens 11am to 11pm Monday to Thursday, 11am to midnight Friday and Saturday, and noon to 10.30pm on Sundays. Touring covers acts, from ska and soul to Motown, reliably draw a crowd, and admission is often free.
