It somehow manages to exist as both a friendly local boozer and an exciting venue that champions the best in cutting-edge alternative music. Nothing is done by halves at the Cocks, which means it’s dead clean, distinctly stylish and man, do they know how to throw a party!
Long Live The Fighting Cocks!
