No Song Contest this year...
Well, not in here anyway.
But there are other ways to celebrate our European neighbours.
Starting Saturday, we'll have a tap takeover from the fantastic @salamabrewing from Finland. Getting draught beer from the continent has been hard since Brexit, so it's great to be able to get a solid selection from a top notch brewery 🇫🇮 (Cheers @beers_drinks_kimi ❤️)
Re the Song Contest, solidarity with the nations and broadcasters who've made the right decision 🤝
A couple of upcoming events to share...
First up @felicityinkpen will be in the Dread this Saturday, selling prints of her wonderful artwork featuring, amongst other things, everyone's favourite flour mill.
Next Wednesday, (15th), we'll be presented with our fifth CAMRA Pub of the Year Award 🏆 Join us for beer and larks.
All the usual nonsense before, in-between and after.
We’re back in three weeks for another delightful evening of Sesh and Sketch @dreadnoughtpub 🎨 🍻.

Ticket reservations are £9 each - which gets you all your art materials and guidance on a theme or prompt. Make as much art as you can and take it all home with you! Drinks are available at the bar and good banter is a given.

Happy Paddy's Day! ☘️
Loads of treats for you tonight, including an exclusive Paddy's Day cocktail, Ferē Liquid, (possibly the only time you'll ever see me with a cocktail shaker in hand).
Lady in Dread returns for one night only. Free Baby Guinness whenever we play Chris de Burgh.
Get on the end of it!
Surely, surely, they're not going to try to maintain this bollocks about being punk?
Scrap the copyright you twats.
Will let you know if their army of bellend lawyers escaped the staff cull.
Next evening of Sesh and Sketch at the Dread is on Sunday, March 29th - and it’s gonna be a vibey spring one 🌺 ☀️.
.
We’re rolling out a new ticket system and cost in order to make the event as accessible as possible for everyone.
.
Ticket reservations are £9 - which gets you all your art materials and guidance on the theme and prompt. Make as much art as you can, and take it all home with you. Drinks are still available at the bar (beer flights, pints or non-alcoholic), but you have some more flexibility in what you’d like to accompany your art practice.
.
Additionally, ticket reservations are now open in advance bookings! You can reserve a ticket online at /seshandsketch/p/dreadnought - or follow the link in bio.

John Davidson is more than welcome to come to our awards ceremony.
Extremely chuffed to share that we've been voted CAMRA's Edinburgh Pub of the Year for 2026 🍻
(Yes, it's a very old photo... I'm greyer and fatter now, but still looking after the beer lines).
It's annual bring-your-cat-to-the-boozer day 😻
Also known as come-to-the-boozer-and-pet-other-people's-cats day.
A free pint for all cat companions. Free treats for all cats.
NO DOGS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. Sorry, pooches.
Music Bingo is back on Friday with a mixture of Friday 13th and Valentine's nonsense.
All the rugby.
Get on the end of it 🐈
NB we don't use AI. At all. This is just good old-fashioned, incompetent photoshopping.
Cats and Rugby...
Is the main theme for the month, but there will doubtless be other nonsense going on.
As always, the 14th of February is the date you need to circle for Catz Onley. Nae dugs, just moggies. A free pint for human companions. Treats for the furballs.
The Six Nations kicks off this Thursday night, with France v Ireland. Scotland play in Rome on Saturday, and England take on Wales later the same day.
NB there is NO Music Bingo this coming Friday (6th) because your hosts are all otherwise engaged. We'll be back with a bumper Friday 13th edition next week.
Get on the end of it 😺 🏉
