The Jug at 41 Bridge Street in Newcastle-under-Lyme (ST5 2RY) is a warm, welcoming town-centre pub with live music four nights a week and the largest beer garden in town. The weekly line-up runs Wednesday open mic — all performers welcome, free entry and complimentary drinks for that night's players — Thursday karaoke, live bands Friday and Saturday, and jazz every other Sunday alongside a Sunday-night quiz. Great cask ales on tap and a resident street-food chef (The Deliciousist) round out a venue popular with both locals and students.
