The Drum & Cymbals pays homage to some local pub history – named after the original pub standing at the corner of Osbourne Street and Great Union Street from 1848 to 1956.
Now at the Corner of Whitefriargate from the outside, the Drum & Cymbals looks very modern with its big windows but inside there’s a traditional feel with a nice wooden bar – and with our policy of playing only 60s, 70s and 80s music.
Stop by, you won’t be disappointed!
