It runs a busy week of grassroots music: an open jam night every Wednesday from 8pm, live bands on Thursdays from 9pm, plus live music every Sunday, with a Thursday quiz rounding out the calendar. Drinks span a changing cask ale and craft kegs from Beavertown and Camden, and the pub is known for a nationally acclaimed alternative jukebox that champions local bands.
