After much indecision, FIFA have concluded that a tropical thunderstorm will make England’s World Cup match against the home team Mexico a fairer and more entertaining game, plus they already sold all the TV advertising and would’ve just been this whole thing… Consequently, and to the dismay of bar staff throughout the nation, England will be playing what’s been called “probably their last game of this specific World Cup” at 1am on what’s technically our Monday morning. Most people we know are actually coming to watch already dressed for work. Just let that sink in. It’s that important. It’s literally the most important thing in the world. So we’ll see you here, then, with happy hour prices from 1-3am as an added bonus! It’s a win-win situation! Open until 5am!!

This Friday we’re lucky enough to have living-legend Ted Milton celebrating the release of his new album Déjeuner Sous L’Herbe, a critically acclaimed masterpiece.

Déjeuner Sous L’Herbe by The Odes brings together the poetic genius of Ted Milton, legendary frontman of Blurt, and the idiosyncratic electronic artistry of Sam Britton, fusing avant-garde sound assemblages, free improv, experimental electronica, and expressive verse — due for 2CD / DL release via the Not Applicable label on Fri 6th Feb 2026.

“Truly innovative” – BBC Late Junction

“Deliciously and maddeningly unclassifiable” – The Wire
