The Groomsport Inn is a grassroots music venue in Bangor.
Listing notes
The Groomsport Inn is a traditional local on Main Street in Groomsport, County Down, with a conservatory and beer garden looking out across Belfast Lough. It's a partner pub to Grace Neill's in Donaghadee, with food, a sports bar and a real log fire.
The pub puts on live music every weekend. Our listings show a run of Upstairs at The Inn nights and acoustic dates, from Ken Haddock with Clive Wills to King Cedar & Wilfie, so it's a good shout for singer-songwriters and folk and acoustic acts.
There's also The Studio, a function room for up to 100 guests. For bookings and enquiries, the pub's email is thegroomsportinn@hotmail.co.uk.
