About The Chainlocker

The Chainlocker is a grassroots music venue in Falmouth, Falmouth. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.

This listing is part of the Falmouth venue directory.

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 runs a regular What's On programme of live music on selected nights, keeping the lively, salty character of its harbourside setting. A welcoming spot for acoustic and covers acts alongside its food and drink trade.
