Famous music venue in a classic pub which has been knocked about a bit. The ground floor bar has an industrial sort of feel, with fixed pipework tables and a recycled timber bar front. The walls, and indeed windows, are covered in flyers and memorabilia of past and forthcoming acts. The music part itself is downstairs, while upstairs there is a 50-seat theatre. 6 ales are on handpump, all from the Greene King range, plus some crafty keg and boxed ciders. Credit must go to Greene King for leaving this slice of musical and pub history relatively unspoilt.

A street corner Victorian pub owned by Greene King with very large in high plate glass windows ,with a 50 seater theatre on the first floor.The ground floor bar is quite small with high tables and chairs from scaffolding bars opposite the servery,some small high tables by the windows and a bit of seating in leather below the staircase to the theatre.There is room for vertical drinking which maybe necessary before a performance.Some small tables are situated on the pavement outside.
The muzak was gentle blues and there was a calm atmosphere on my Saturday afternoon trip.Posters describe what's on and there is a sign for a booking office ,in a front alcove.The bar has 6 handpumps offering GK IPA and Abbott,Old Rosie cider ,Doom Bar and TT Landlord (far too warm).15 keg taps but mainly multinational brands apart from BrewDog Punk IPA and Beavertown Neck Oil but nothing more interesting.
Bands used to perform here,and maybe still do.Pleased to see an early photo of The Specials on the far wall.
It's not much kop for the real ale fan,and the captive audience for shows maybe the reason for a lack of care.Not bad,but not enough to warrant a revisit.

Not a bad pub with some halfway decent ales, although I doubt I'll ever return.
