Jan 2023 - reported as having no cask beer. Feb 2023 Landlord on sale - perhaps best to say that cask beer is on sale but not always? Our reporter comments as follows, "I think it might be the case that they only have the one on at any time - so if the barrel runs out, they don't put a new barrel on straight away, so it looks as though they never serve any."

The Boogaloo has been a gathering place, a watering place, a music hall place, a dancing place, the host of art happenings and literary events, the inspiration for a song or two and a discreet place for a rockstar, an elegant lady or a man of the cloth to have a quiet drink amid the chaos while the crazy world spins. Or so they say. Live music, DJ’s, markets and parties. Juke box. This pub was originally called the Birkbeck [Tavern] - the name can still be seen in mosaic tiling to the entrance step.

Happy Hour Thurs & Fri: 5pm – 7pm.
