Hope & Ruin Concerts 2025

Note! Take £1 per item in cash for the coat service if going to a gig. Canvas bags are accepted as 1 item. An excellent place to spend an evening at. Food options looked incredibly enticing, but I didn't have time to try them out. The interior is lively and full of reused items, and the gig venue upstairs is perfectly adequate for medium-sized concerts. The upstairs toilets are to be considered museum exhibits. Take a picture and get out. Do yourself a favour and go to the downstairs toilet if you really need to go.

Great beer selection especially if you like a decent session ale.... Bingo night was raucous on a Thursday night.... Luckily there was a great band on upstairs!!!

This is a gem of a place. Been to see many great bands here on both floors. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the food is tasty and the beer selection is great. Glad to see some craft offerings including a lovely sour. More of that please. One thing I should mention, bar prices are rather on the full side.

They have lucky Saint on tap. I didn't get food this time, but I had the vegan food in there before, and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and service was pretty prompt. Saw a gig upstairs which was a good show. The sound was pretty good.

The Vaselines last night were fantastic. The venue is perfect and the sound excellent. Lots of great beers on draft too and friendly staff who are very knowledgable regarding products. Great music in bar too and lots of old friends to catch up with. Pretty good for a Sunday.
