Chaplins Bar is a lively town-centre bar on St Thomas Street in Scarborough, recently refitted around a 1920s stage-and-screen theme. It's one of the few LGBTQ+ bars in the area and a genuine community space, with a strong entertainment line-up of cover bands, karaoke and drag. A really popular open mic runs every Monday night, where you're invited to bring yourself and your instrument and play to the room.
