The Hope & Ruin

Description

Character is cramming a room full of things you love and that's exactly what you’ll find here amongst the chaotic décor at The Hope & Ruin.

Above the pub is a 150 capacity grassroots music venue that supports live music 364 days of the year from local bands starting out to international touring artists. Unmissable gigs of the past include The Strokes, Electrelane, British Sea Power, Adele, Bonnie Prince Billy, Michael Kiwanuka, Dua Lipa, & Self Esteem. Plus a host of up and coming local bands such ar ARXX, Ditz, Lambrini Girls, Ciel & Porridge Radio.

On the bar you will find plenty of lagers, keg beers and cask ales available from our orange and pink beer pumps. All from local brewers and those further afield. We also have a good selection on non alcoholic drinks options and low ABV beers. All of our drinks offerings are 100% plant based. We also serve a range of delicious cocktails.

The caravan in the corner is home to the BEELZEBAB kitchen who offer the finest cuisine which is also all plant based. Including their infamous award winning kebab, loaded fries and hot dogs. As well as brownies and Boho Gelato ice cream. Keep your eyes peeled for monthly specials and new additions to the menu as well as special events like the Curryoke they host once a month.

Of course there’ll be DJs at the weekend. Plus clothes swaps, quizzes, poetry events, Jazz Mondays and DIY bands in the bar. We also have a popular bi weekly collage club from Cult Milk.

The Hope & Ruin is a completely unique and a great place to hang out.
