Regular weekly events
Friday & Saturday Live Music
Most Friday and Saturday evenings host an act in the bar room — acoustic duos, full bands, sea shanty groups, occasional tribute nights. Music starts around 9pm and runs two sets. Free entry. See our live music page for booking enquiries and the kinds of acts we host.
Weekday Happy Hour
Monday to Friday, 6pm to 8pm. Discounted cocktails, beers, wines and spirits. Full details on the Happy Hour page.
The Monthly Charity Quiz
Wednesday evenings, 8pm start. Teams of up to six. £2 per person — every penny goes to a nominated local Cornwall charity each month. Walk-in, no advance booking, but it does fill up so arrive by 7:45 if you want a good table.
Annual highlights
Bude Sea Shanty Festival
Each summer Bar Thirty Five takes part in Bude's Sea Shanty Festival weekend. Shanty crews from across the West Country pack the bar; the courtyard becomes a singalong. Free to drop in. Dates announced in spring.
Christmas Concert
Mid-December tradition. A full evening of live music featuring some of our favourite acts of the year, plus mince pies behind the bar.
New Year's Eve
The bar's busiest night of the year. Doors are open as normal but expect a full room, late closing, a celebratory countdown, and live music or DJs into the early hours.
Bar 35's Birthday
We mark the bar's anniversary each year with a special night — usually with a returning headline act, a charity tie-in, and a free drink for regulars.
