El Charquito

"The little puddle" started life in 2024 and has quietly grown into one of our biggest treasures: two weekly lounge jams filled with community spirit and brilliant musical energy. Everyone's welcome: all instruments, all levels, all genres. Thursdays + Sundays from 4pm, £5 on the door. See you down there!
