rollwithit   12 #1 Posted May 16, 2018 Any venues putting on midweek cover bands?  I don't mean the venues that try to put on 10 amateur bands in one evening. I've been in such venues I you spend most of your drinking time watching teenagers dismantle/setup equipment just to play their own stuff that isn't up to scratch. Got to be a good rock or blues cover band.  I work weekends so miss all the good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rollwithit   12 #3 Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Check out white lion posts. Great music pub.  Too far away pal. No direct bus and expensive in taxis. Plus Lion is a real ale pub. Can't really stomach the stuff without feeling ill. has to be Hillsborough side or town. But not West Street Live or Mulberry as they're a like drinking in cannon. Not Fagins as you can only take so much folk music and irish jigs. Plus its a bit scruffy.

You will probably say real ale again but the Barnsley Bitter is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'd drive down to White Lion, but don't really want to be sat there with orange juice. Thanks for your suggestions anyways. Sorry for been hard to please.

Thanks for your suggestions anyways. Sorry for been hard to please.  White Lion has live music every Tuesday,Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon. We also have jazz every third Monday.  In addition to the 8/9 real ale pumps, we have a cider pump and then sell Amstel, Cobra, Shipyard and Carling alongside a selection of bottles. The bus stop directly opposite the pub is well serviced and you can get the last one into town (or further) around midnight.
