The Macbeth

About the Space

This venue has been a music and arts pub for over 100 years. This pub has survived two World wars, Typhoid and an unrelenting bombardment of some of the best intimate live performances and parties known in the western hemisphere. The equipment visible in the photos includes an intimate stage, tables, a bar with equipment, a fake fireplace with backlight, large wall mirrors, knight's armor, leather sofas, and paintings. A raw basement is also available. We have also available second floor with 5 rooms and two bathrooms. The front of the pub is a good example of well-mannered nineteenth century neo-classical architecture. The pilasters and fenestration on the ground floor were remodelled in the late 1940s (probably to repair bomb-damage) and have lost their original proportions along with their fluted pilasters – complete with Corinthian capitals – and a proper entablature framed by a cornice above and decorative brackets at each end. Despite this post-war disaster, however, many of the original external features remain. A true ‘piano nobile’ is still suggested by the elegant first floor windows dressed with triangular pediments and a string course to separate them from the less-ornate second floor above. The whole façade is edged with expressive quoins and surmounted by a triangular pediment in the centre of a parapet with posts and decorative vases. Please contact the host for custom pricing and availability. Published price is just the base price.
