The Cock Tavern: Pub in Lambeth, London

The Cock Tavern in SE11 runs a mix of live music, comedy, karaoke and quizzes, often with a playful edge. It's a room that rewards curiosity. Look at what gets put on and you start to see the pattern. The nights tend to be loose and social. The crowd comes to join in, sing a bit badly, and argue over quiz answers. Nobody expects polish. Bring your friends and don't worry too much about what you wear. If you're choosing, go for the format you already like. Quizzes suit teams. Karaoke suits anyone happy to make a fool of themselves. Live music and comedy suit people who want a room with some noise and a bit of risk.
