I would recommend The Dev if you're not easily intimidated
it's a goth/punk/metal pub but friendly enough, BTW are you sure you mena the 9th? It's a Sunday.

I certainly do, sadly
Train engineering works mean a three hour trip each way and not getting home until 2.30am. And if The Dev is a goth pub I daresay it'll be full of people going to the gig.

it's about a 10-15 minute walk away from the venue, so there's a fair chance.
and it's not so much a goth pub as the goth pub. I probably still know a few of the regulars, more worryingly I dated one of the bouncers and while we split on good terms not everyone there may be aware of this, which could be interesting to say the least.

Are you still on speaking terms with him?
If he gives you a hard time (fnarr) I'll defend you. I'm well tough, me.

She's one of my best friends
So I doubt there'd be any problems, just not been there since we were together. She doesn't work Sundays though.
