The Black Dog is a friendly, traditional community pub in Oadby on the London Road out of Leicester, run by landlords Ronnie and Kully and known as a proper local with a dog-friendly, family welcome. It boasts the biggest outdoor screen in Leicestershire with Sky and TNT sport, a large continental courtyard, car parking and a private function room. Entertainment is a regular fixture — live bands and discos, music and jukebox, with bands or other entertainment typically on Saturdays alongside a Monday quiz night. A relaxed grassroots room for covers bands and party acts rather than a dedicated original-music venue.
