Sky Blue Tavern is a family sports bar on Hertford Place in Coventry city centre — an iconic collaboration between Coventry City Football Club and Dhillon's Brewery. It pairs crafted beers and 20-plus TV screens with a genuinely versatile events space, complete with a staging area, dance floor, in-house PA system and an outside mezzanine. The venue hosts live music and an open-mic cabaret (run by House of Audacious) in the heart of the city, welcoming originals and covers across mixed genres, and also serves award-winning Indian cuisine. Just a five-minute walk from Coventry train station, it's a flexible grassroots room for performers and a lively spot to watch the football.
