Music

This isn’t your typical night at the opera. Opera Pub is where music meets mischief. From soaring arias to unexpected musical theatre pieces, no two nights are ever the same. And that’s exactly how we like it.

Whether you’re a lifelong opera fan or just here for a good time, Opera Pub is the perfect way to unwind midweek with a pint in hand and some seriously stunning vocals just a few feet away. Expect students, stars, surprise guests, and always a few curveballs.

Admission is Free
Opera Pub is free to attend. No tickets, no cover charge.
