Our Story
After years of working in pubs, running events, booking bands, and soaking up live music ourselves, we decided it was time to do things our own way.
When The Wheatsheaf in Leighton Buzzard was facing closure, a few of us good mates and fellow music lovers got together with a new idea: to create an independent venue that brings together all the things we love – live music, great beer, and brilliant events.
We found the perfect spot – the old Blockbuster Video shop – and, with the help of a lot of good friends, we got stuck into the renovations. What used to be a wall of VHS tapes is now a cool, welcoming place where people can come to enjoy cracking gigs, a relaxed atmosphere, and a proper community vibe.
The Crooked Crow Bar is more than just a bar, it’s a labour of love. We're proud of what we've built, proud to support live music, and proud to be part of Leighton Buzzard’s buzzing independent scene.
Come and be part of it – we’d love to see you!
