The Hen & Chicken Pub is a long-established live music venue located in the St Werburghs area of Bristol. Originally a traditional public house, it gained prominence in the 1970s as a key location for the burgeoning punk and new wave music scenes in the city. Bands such as The Pop Group and Massive Attack played early gigs there. Over the decades it has continued to host a diverse range of musical acts, maintaining its reputation as an intimate and respected space for both established and emerging artists. The pub itself is known for its relatively small capacity, fostering a close connection between performers and audience members. It remains independently owned and operated.
