About The Salty Dog
Here is the story of The Salty Dog in Northwich so far. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say. Played here before? Tell us whether these details were right.
The Salty Dog is a grassroots music venue in Northwich.
Listing notes
The Salty Dog is an independently run pub on Northwich High Street, set in one of the town's black and white buildings, and it describes itself simply as a pub focusing on beer and music.
The music is a mix. Promoters bring in touring songwriters - The Listening Room (North) put on a full-band Peter Bruntnell show here in March 2026 - and recent listings also take in a skatepunk night, a Radio Northwich daytime disco and a 'Comos Vol. 1' night, with DJs alongside the live sets.
It's a small, friendly local rather than a big room, so it suits acts who want a close crowd. The best route in is to contact the pub directly or go through the promoters who already run nights there.
