Rock music (recorded) is played most of the time and there may be a cover charge on the door for some live music although Friday and Saturday nights are usually free of charge. Live music includes rock, heavy metal, jazz and many other styles. On other gig nights the doors open at 7 pm.

Branch Pub of the Season Spring 2014.
