The Fighting Cocks started back in the early 1800s. Situated on Old London Road, it was a regular resting point for weary travellers on their way to and from London. They where treated to food, drink, gambling, women & cock fighting in the now recognised Cockpit Bar. After burning down in the early 1900s, it was rebuilt, and continued to be a popular hangout for travellers and the fast-growing local community.
Fast forward to present day, and we're Kingston's finest alternative bar and venue! We love loud music, partying and good booze! As if holding regular punk, hardcore, emo, metal and alternative shows wasn't enough, we also have our weekly Monday night comedy night from the Outside The Box crew, Guitar Hero at the bar, a pool table and a jukebox with all the finest tunes at your disposal. Most importantly we've got a selection of top notch ale, cider, spirits, food and our own range of shots! Come on down and pop your cherry!
Hi, thanks for joining Make It Happy Army, the finest chamber punk-rock you’ll ever listen to. Hope you dig our music (please let us know what you think about our songs if you have a minute, it is very important for us). Cheers from Padova, Italy.
The Fighting Cocks! We've just added a rough cut of 'Big Bang' to our player, which is going to be on our debut album! We're still in the studio recording at the moment, but have a sneeky listen and let us know what you think! Hope your good, and to see you at a show soon! Big love Shoshinity
