Our pub quiz is back again tonight (and it’s getting serious!)

Cash prizes are up for grabs, plus our rolling jackpot has now past the £200 mark. Still unclaimed. Still waiting. Think you’re clever enough to take it down?

Expect a proper mix of questions... The kind that’ll make you feel like a genius one minute and completely unravel the next.

£2 per person
Max team size: 6
Sign-up from 7:30pm
Quiz kicks off around 8pm

Get down early, grab a drink, and prepare for some (not so) serious quizzing.

APRIL AT THE ILL REPUTE

Wednesdays are yours if you want them; our Open Mic is on the 1st, 15th and 29th. No big lights, no big egos, just whoever’s willing to get up and risk it.

On screen downstairs: the sleaze and satire of Doris Wishman's N**e on the Moon, the dust-soaked beauty of McCabe & Mrs Miller, the nightmare pull of Laura, Romero's Martin, and the moral gut-punch of The Ox-Bow Incident. Not a bad run.

Upstairs is chaos in the best way: DJ Bob YT, Reggae Riddim Club Nite, Saint Senara, The Electric Keepsakes, Outer Town Festival, plus a run of bands bringing surf, blues, psych, and whatever SPICYIVY feels like spinning on the decks.

And yeah, Pub Quiz EVERY Tuesday. It’s not getting any easier but can snag the jackpot?

MARCH 2026 // THE ILL REPUTE

Sundays are for cinema downstairs.
Wednesdays are for Open Mic bravery.
Weekends are for turning it up properly.

Screening downstairs this month: The sharp, venomous glow of Sweet Smell of Success, the beautiful mischief of Harold and Maude, the fever-dream melodrama of Johnny Guitar, the shaggy paranoia of The Long Goodbye, and the raw chaos of Totally F***ed Up

Upstairs?
Live bands. Skelephant. Reggae Riddim Club Nite. The Dirty Weather Blues R***e. DJ Bob YT. The Slimline Shufflers. The Electric Keepsakes. Guitars sweating under low lights.

Open Mic on the 4th and 18th - no filter, no safety net, just whoever steps up.

Pub Quiz every Tuesday. Cash prizes to be won including a huge rolling jackpot.

March is full.
You should be here.

🚨 RESCHEDULED 🚨

STEPPIN’ TONES is back at The Ill Repute 💥🦖

Friday 6th March we’re unleashing a proper genre-hopping, floor-shaking night of eclectic DJ sets. The kind where reggae bleeds into punk, ska side-steps into hip hop, funk rubs up against big beat, and northern soul gets mashed up with surf, indie and rock.

🕘 9pm til late

Don't miss ATHELNEY with support from THE SPIRITUS MUNDI playing at The Ill Repute on Friday 6th February.

This is the kind of music that sounds even better in a small, sweaty room with the lights low and the volume turned up. If you like your indie raw, heartfelt and loud enough to feel in your chest, this one’s for you.

February’s stacked and we’re not easing you in gently. Cult cinema, live bands, DJs, open mics and plenty of late-night nonsense. All crammed into the shortest, coldest month because of course it is.

Downstairs, our film programme goes hard: classic noir (The Big Sleep, Out of the Past), bleak snowbound western The Great Silence, DIY outsider sci-fi drag odyssey Vegas in Space and pure animated filth with Fritz the Cat. If it’s on screen, it’s because we love it.

Upstairs, the amps are warm and the beers are cold. We’ve got everything from acoustic sets and blues revues to reggae riddims, DJs, psych, shuffle, surfy edges and whatever Burly Chassis decide to do to the room. Open Mic returns twice for anyone brave enough to grab it.

Plus: Pub Quiz every Tuesday, as always. No mercy. No prizes worth falling out over (probably).

Come for one night, stay for five.

This is February at The Ill Repute.

It’s Friday!! 🍸🌶️

The lights are low, the music’s on, and the margaritas don’t mess about.

Hot, sharp, and built for starting the weekend slightly sideways.

You know where to find us.

We had a great turnout for our very first weekly pub quiz last night. The vibes were high, and the brains were clearly firing. Massive thanks to everyone who came down and made it such a cracking start.

Huge congrats to Buffalo Bill Repute for taking the win 🏆

The jackpot wasn’t cracked, which means it’s rolled over to £74 💰 and waiting for someone brave (or clever) enough to claim it.

Missed out? Don’t worry! It’s every Tuesday, kicking off at 7:30pm sharp. Grab your team, swot up on your trivia, and get involved.

Knowledge optional. Confidence essential. 🔥
