A genuine hub of community activity and a haven for live music, it pairs a fringe theatre upstairs (regular productions) with live music down in the bar, hosts the Walthamstow Folk Club, and runs a very popular open mic where performers register with the host on the night. Six handpumps serve SIBA and local-brewery beers plus cider. It was ELAC CAMRA Pub of the Year 2022. A welcoming, original-music-friendly grass-roots room in north-east London.
