Something of a HQ for pubgoers and musicians alike, the Workman’s Club restored the décor of an old neglected working man’s club (hence the name!) to create a totally 21st century venue. Priding itself on its ability to mix big name acts – like Nathaniel Rateliff and Beach Slang – with homegrown heroes such as Altered House and The Fountains, the venue’s intimate feel regularly makes for barnstorming shows. In 2017, the awesome performance by London art-pop contenders HMLTD was a major highlight. Elsewhere, the western-style Bison Bar and upstairs Vintage Room complete the mightily impressive package.
