The Pipeline

What it’s like

An 18+ bar for live gigs, comedy nights and late drinks, with a jukebox and an outdoor space to spill into.

This one's for the grown-ups. There's no age policy stated on the door, but between the late hours, the bar-led format and the gig nights running most evenings, it reads as somewhere for a night out rather than a family visit.

Live music is the backbone of the place, with gigs most nights of the week. When there isn't a band on, the rock n roll jukebox fills the gap, and there's an outdoor space if you want to escape the noise and take your drink outside for a bit. It's open late too, midnight through the week and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays, so it suits a proper night out rather than an early one.

If you're after something bigger, the upstairs floor can be hired out for private events, and it comes with a PA system and full back line already in, which saves you sourcing your own gear for a gig or a party. There's no booking link listed.

Sundays it's shut, which is worth knowing if you're planning your week around it. Otherwise it's open every evening from 5pm, giving you a decent run at a night out without an early last entry to worry about.
