Last month we introduced some new drinks & food to our menu, but in all the bank holiday fun we forgot to shout about it!

Pop-In and have a taste of our new "Bottle Store" wine menu including some incredibly tasty new wines from all over the globe!

We've also introduced a new cocktail and spritz menu for the summer months and also a new way to try a range of our spirits with the new spirit tasting boards.

Few new core's on the keg wall and beer fridge and the return of a few small plates to compliment

Some proper tasty drops for all!

Imagine a world full of delicate harmonies,

Life light songwriting

And honest human observation.

Never finding the bad in anything or anyone,

Never being trapped in the negative,

Only escapism in the positive.

This would be the world of The Ocelots, our true Wight Bear friends Brandon & Ashley.

Spin into that the raw, punchy innocence of new on the bloc Luella Jade Eke and a Wight Bear Live core of listeners…..

Then there is no better to spend a Thursday night, to bring a level of balance…

Thanks to all of you who came out and supported live music and a true grass roots venue,

We have Muco up next on Sunday June 21st to celebrate solstice and close our live program for the summer, please don’t miss this artist…

Peace, Love & Live Music

Something in the way we move…..last night saw the first of 2 shows with theocelotsmusic & loujeke

We wandered to bridportarts and thank you all there particularly Dee & Chris for allowing us into your incredible space…

The energy in that very special room is something to behold and not allowing filming or the taking of photographs during a performance is almost certainly why it remains a very sacred place…

These shots from soundcheck give you some idea of what was to come, it’s was from start to finish a wonderful wonderful night….so please get out the house tonight and come along to see incredibly talented artists pull together to put on a show to bring calm…

Tickets in all the usual places or just walk up doors from 7pm….

Peace, Love & Live Music
