OPENING TIMES
Gigs
Doors for gigs usually open at either 7 or 7.30pm with a curfew of 10 or 11pm. Be sure to check the listings page in case of any different timings, or give us a call at the venue. We also try to list stage times as often as we can on our Twitter.
Club Nights
On club nights, doors tend to open at 10pm with last entry at 2am unless the club is at capacity beforehand. Note that on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, if you arrive at the bar before 10pm or you have come to see a gig, your entrance to the club night is completely free.
FACILITIES
There are two bars at the Thekla serving a range of alcoholic beverages as well as soft drinks. The boat is on three levels with designated bars and seating areas. We have a kitchen on the top deck which is open until 9.30pm at night and the bar is open for pre/after show drinks.
Other onsite facilities include a cloakroom charging £1.50 per item and a large heated outdoor deck where smoking is permitted all evening.

At present, our license only allows people 18 and over on the boat. Please make sure that you have ID with you at all times when visiting us.
