NEW YEAR’S EVE AT THE ILL REPUTE:

31 DECEMBER • DJ BOB YT

Forget overpriced tickets, non-refundable wristbands, and rigid NYE plans. We’re keeping things free entry all night long, so you can just rock up and let the night take over.

We’ve got on soundtrack duties from start to finish, dropping a seamless mix of warm boogie, shimmering disco, and late-night house. No fluff, no filler; just pure hands-in-the-air tracks to take us through midnight and beyond.

Come dressed up, come as you are, or drop in for "just one" and pretend you're actually going home early.

Free entry, lots of grooves, top-tier drinks, and proper Old Market vibes. Gather your crew and let's send 2026 off the right way! 🪩

📍 The Ill Repute, Old Market

🎟️ FREE ENTRY ALL NIGHT

Don’t miss our OPEN MIC NIGHT tonight!

Got a song you’ve been itching to play? A new tune you want to try out? Or just fancy getting up in front of a room and making some noise?

Whether you’re a seasoned performer, playing in front of people for the very first time, or just coming along to discover some brilliant local talent, everyone’s welcome. Bring a guitar, bring your voice, bring whatever you play, or simply grab a pint and settle in for an evening of live music.

And because getting up on stage deserves a reward, every performer gets a free drink on us! 🍺

✏ Sign up from 8pm
🎤 Music starts at 9pm
🍺 Free drink for every performer
📍 The Ill Repute, Old Market

See you tonight!

Something sinister is coming to Tuesday quiz night… and for once, it isn’t your team’s knowledge of geography.

Join us for a Halloween helping of brains, blagging and terrible guesses. There will be creepy picture rounds, sinister music intros, horror, general knowledge, fiendish connections and a few nasty surprises. Bring your horror obsessive, your music nerd and whoever usually writes the answers down.

There’s cash for the winning team, plus a chance for any team to take on our ever-growing rolling jackpot. Have you got the nerve and the largely useless knowledge to claim it?

- Quiz starts at 7:30pm
- £2 per person
- Teams of up to six

No booking needed - get down early, claim a table, grab a drink and put those brains to use before something eats them.

IDA THE YOUNG + EL KNIGHT 🖤

This Friday, we’ve got a beautiful double bill at The Ill Repute.

Coming all the way over from the Czech Republic, IDA THE YOUNG make music that can pull you in close one minute and fill the room the next. Folk-rooted songwriting meets hazy electronics, rich instrumentation and bursts of indie rock.

Opening the night is Bristol’s EL KNIGHT, is returning to The Ill Repute with a heady mix of trip-hop, electronic and downtempo sounds.

We can't think of a better way to start the weekend!
