What's on
What's on, and when.
The week has a shape: early doors on weeknights, the trio on Thursdays, a masterclass on Sunday afternoons. Around that, a distiller once a month, records once a month, and the December list.
Regular events
Every Thursday
Jazz trio, 8 till 11
Rhodri and Mari with a rotating third. No cover. Book a table; six stools kept for the door.
Every Sunday
Cocktail masterclass, 2 till 4
Six to ten people, three classics, £55 including the drinks. Book on this page or buy a voucher at the bar.
Tuesday to Thursday
Early doors, 5 till 7
The seven classics at £8. The quietest, best time to drink one.
First Wednesday of the month
Distillery night
A Welsh distiller behind the bar with their own spirit: four drinks, the story, and the bottle to buy. Free, booking advised.
Last Sunday of the month
Vinyl Sunday
Someone's records on the turntable from 4pm, Nia's choice of a roast-day drink at £9, no bookings, no fuss.
December
The winter list, and the Christmas back room
The December list lands on the first. The back room books out for December by October; the form is on the hire page.
This month's Thursdays
Rhodri, Mari, and the third chair.
The residents are Rhodri Lewis on piano and Mari Hughes on double bass, most Thursdays for eight years. The third chair this month: a tenor sax from Bristol on the first, a trumpet from the Royal Welsh College on the second and third, and a singer we are not allowed to name yet on the last. The line-up is posted here and on Instagram a month ahead; it changes when a tour comes through.
Sunday afternoons, behind the bar.
Two hours, three classics made by you, snacks halfway and a recipe sheet to take home. £55 a person, six to ten people. Vouchers last a year.
