Out back, Ram Jam Records is a speakeasy-style room with live music every night and all day Sunday — blues, funk, soul, jazz, rock — plus Crack Comedy's sell-out stand-up every Friday (running since 2002). Won Time Out's Best Music Venue at the 2018 Love London Awards. The building dates to the Nightingale Steam Brewery era; George Nightingale was Mayor of Kingston in 1846.
