Evening visit until close. Lower footfall for tribute band than is often the case. Maybe some off-duty cast members from Snow White local pantomime were in.

Evening visit until close. The tribute live band was so good I stayed put, lady singer sounded like Grace Slick. A bottle of 2024 Fuller's Vintage Ale lasted through the other ales tried.

Evening visit. Always surprised how many rock songs these tribute acts play that I don't know the words to and everyone else here seems to.

Evening visit until midnight close. Another very good tribute band playing, though I recognised perhaps only half of the songs.

Late evening visit until close. Once again a talented and loud tribute band was performing.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride4.10ExcellentBest LP I have had for a long time. Oddly bitterer than the ESB tonight and it was drunk after the ESB too

Late evening visit. Standing at the bar with a tribute rock band's loudspeaker pointed right at me was too much so I migrated to the little snug room at the front.
