Blue Sky Cafe & Taproom is a licensed café and taproom tucked just off Bangor's High Street (Ambassador Hall, rear of 236 High Street), with a craft-beer taproom downstairs and a first-floor room used for events. It runs live music seasonally — roughly October to April — alongside monthly open-mic sessions upstairs, plus poetry, cinema and science-café nights, leaning towards indie, folk and acoustic acts. It's a relaxed, community-minded grassroots spot rather than a dedicated gig room, dog-friendly in the downstairs taproom.
