Great Nights - Great Soundtracks!

Music at Craft Beer Bar Maldon

At Craft Beer Maldon we believe great nights deserve great soundtracks, so every week we open up the floor to DJs and music lovers who know how to keep the energy flowing. Expect an eclectic mix from the smooth grooves of jazz and soul, to the uplifting vibes of reggae, the attitude of punk, and the irresistible hooks of pop and Northern Soul.

We don’t stop there – indie favourites, classic 80s cuts, and forgotten gems are all part of the journey. Each night brings something different, but always with the same goal: to create a space where people come together, connect through music, and let the beats set the mood.

Our open deck sessions are a chance for anyone with a passion for music to step behind the turntables and share the tracks they love most. Whether you’re a seasoned DJ or just starting out, it’s all about expression, energy and community.

So come down, grab a drink, and let the soundtrack of jazz, soul, reggae, indie, punk, 80s,pop and Northern Soul carry you into the night.

Great Beer. Great Events. Great Nights.

Events at Craft Beer Bar Maldon

At Craft Beer Maldon there’s always something happening to bring people together. We believe great beer tastes even better with good company, laughter, and a little bit of friendly competition – which is why our calendar is packed with events designed to keep things lively all year round.

Every month, you can test your knowledge at our fun-filled quiz night, enjoy the unpredictable excitement of bingo with a twist or gather friends for a games night filled with classic and modern favourites or even teach others your favourite game. We’ll also be hosting regular tap takeovers shining a spotlight on brilliant small-batch breweries and give you the chance to meet brewers and wine experts introducing you to new flavours from the very source.

Alongside our regular events we love to celebrate the moments that make the year special. Expect themed nights to mark everything from Day of the Dead and Bonfire Night to Beaujolais Day and Oktoberfest, St George’s Day, Burns night and even a colourful Jamaica Day – each bringing unique music, food, and atmosphere to match the occasion.

There will be some suprises along the way such as "Feestag Van Belgie" held this year over the weekend starting Friday 17th July to celebrate Belgium's National Day. Enjoy trappist, fruit and Dubbel beers and Belgian favourites like croquettes, frites and Beef Carbonnade.

Whether you’re here to compete, discover, celebrate, or simply relax with friends, our events are all about creating great memories with great beer. Check our socials – there’s always another reason to join the party.
