Beyond surreal night tonight - amongst all of the daily stress and chaos, one of the best things about owning a bar is getting to have nights like this.

We got to host one of our favourite bands, NOTNORTH, all the way from NYC, in our silly little bar in Pontefract.

From listening to their music to standing in our own venue with them… what the actual f**k.

Absolutely unforgettable night. Thank you for trusting us with it.

Also a huge thank you to FATHER'S MOUSTACHE & Sia Raw for the support 🖤

🍄 ONE YEAR OF THE FUNGUS. WHAT THE F**K. 🍄

One whole year of questionable decisions, loud music, questionable decisions set to loud music, and somehow… you lot are still coming back!

We f**king love you for it. Thank you for keeping this weird little place alive.

Tonight we’re celebrating the only way we know how - Dirty Little Secrets smashing out 2000s pop-punk bangers from 8pm. 🎸

AND we’ve hidden a little birthday freebie…

🤫 Say “LONG LIVE THE FUNGUS” at the bar tonight and we’ll sort you a FREE SHOT.

August Bank Holiday. One year down. Let’s get messy. 🍄🖤

BIRTHDAY FUNGUS 🖤🍄

This weekend marks ONE WHOLE YEAR of The Drunken Fungus!

Honestly, I don’t think we could ever properly put into words what this place has come to mean to us. What started as a mad idea has somehow turned into a little community, full of familiar faces, new friends, ridiculous nights, questionable decisions and some memories we’ll never forget.

Running a small independent bar is not always easy. There have been some very stressful moments, plenty of late nights, and more than a few times we’ve wondered what the hell we were doing 😂 But every time you’ve walked through that door, bought a drink, come to an event, brought a friend, shared a post, recommended us, or simply told us how much you love the place, you’ve reminded us exactly why we do it.

And what better way to celebrate than with a huge double-header weekend? 🍄

SATURDAY - SHAPES RAVE 🪩
We’re throwing a proper DJ night to kick off the celebrations. Big tunes, good vibes and dancing until late.

SUNDAY - DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS 🎸
Then we’re finishing the weekend with an emo & pop-punk party with Dirty Little Secrets, bringing all the nostalgia, singalongs and absolute bangers.

Two very different nights, one very special weekend and the perfect way to celebrate ONE YEAR of The Drunken Fungus. 🖤

To every single person who has supported us over the last year: thank you.

Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for coming back. Thank you for believing in what we’re trying to create.

The Drunken Fungus wouldn’t be what it is without you. 🖤

Here’s to one year down, and hopefully many, many more to come.

Happy birthday, Fungus. 🍄🥂
We bloody love ya x
