About The Railway
The Railway is a grassroots music venue in New St, Cheltenham. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.
The Railway books Various, Acoustic acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Cheltenham venue directory.
The Railway is a gloriously independent, candle-lit neighbourhood pub on New Street in central Cheltenham, run with love and home to Smokey Phi Phi's Thai street BBQ — hot, smoky, wood-fired Thai food served alongside the drinks. It hosts an open-mic night for local performers and keeps a community-focused, DIY spirit, with real ales, world-class ciders, spirits from small local distilleries and a lovely beer garden with an open fire. Musicians typically bring their own PA, keeping the grassroots, anything-goes feel for both originals and covers. It's a warm, characterful spot that pairs authentic Thai street food with Cheltenham's live-music underground.
