Kanteena Bar in Lancaster

Brewery Ln, Lancaster LA1 1QL

About This Pub

Ah, Kanteena in Lancaster is one of those hidden gems that really comes alive with live music and events – it's got this forward-thinking vibe that's just infectious. From what I've gathered from folks who've been, it's ace for catching bands or even something fun like axe throwing; the energy picks up nicely, and the staff are always on point, making sure everything runs smoothly and you're looked after. The food and drinks side of things is a real highlight too – think delicious Thai street food and a solid beer selection that keeps things flowing. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect; there are moments when the music's cranked up so high it drowns out any chance of a good natter, which is a shame, especially in quieter spots like the courtyard. Still, overall, it's a welcoming place that strikes a good balance for a night out, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're after some entertainment, just maybe keep an eye on the event lineup to avoid the louder sessions.

Pros and Cons

It's a brilliant spot for live music – the atmosphere really gets you buzzing and the events are top-notch.
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the get-go.
They've got some cracking food options, like tasty Thai street food, paired with a good selection of drinks.
The outdoor area is relaxed and spacious, perfect for enjoying a drink on a nice day.

Cons

The music can be way too loud at times, making it tough to have a proper chat, especially when it's not even that busy.
Some events feel a bit poorly executed, like the concept doesn't quite land as well as it could.

Cool concept, badly executed. DJ playing terrible music way too loud to have a conversation over at like 3 in the afternoon to a largely empty courtyard. Tone it down a bit plz.

Amazing venue for live music, loved watching Chimps of the Future- awesome band. The Thai street food is fantastic. Hail Eris!

We were here for the Flying Axe company axe throwing, but the Kanteena bar staff were kind enough to let us have a drink while they were still setting up. The beer was good and the atmosphere was, as always, relaxed and friendly. Loads of seating, and, at the right time, some interesting and tasty options for food. (Thai, BBQ, some other things I don't remember!)

What a great venue for a gig. We went to watch the ZUTONS here Situated in what looks like an old trading yard. It's got a funky Carribbean vibe with a great outdoor area for some fantastic street food and seating. A few indoor booths for keeping the rain off. A tidy venue for live music and I hope it keeps getting well supported to keep live music alive. Beer was priced fairly with reds stripe at £5 a pint. The staff were really friendly. The bouncers could do with some improvement they came across as arrogant and a little aggressive. If you don't expect the Ritz and expect a funky friendly Carribbean live music and street food venue then you won't go wrong. Thanks for a top night .

Played a show at this great rock venue on 11/02/23 and were made very welcome by Pablo & the team and the fantastic Lancaster audience. Sound engineer Glenn from IAV did an excellent job getting the show set up - we look forward to coming back soon!
