The Travs' has developed quite a name for itself as a live music venue having an open mic night every Tuesday, acoustic live lounge every Wednesday and covers artists every Saturday. Our acoustic live lounge is especially good because it allows you to get up close to both UK based and International artists in a small intimate venue. ALL MUSIC IS FREE ENTRY. Continuing the music theme we have karaoke on the first Friday of every month . So all in all if you want a good night out the Travs' is the place to come.
Please check out our other site on the link below where you can listen to artists before you come.
Real Ales
We currently have 4 permanent real ales; Pedigree, Theakstons Best, Deuchars IPA and Theakstons Old Peculiar as well as one other guest beer. We welcome reviews by CAMRA members and any feed back to both ourselves and CAMRA will be gratefully recieved. We would like to get into the good beer guide and any assistance you can give will help immensely. Both Jackie & Kev are CAMRA members and pride ourselves on our good quality beer.
Draycott can boast its’ own art gallery The “Beetle Gallery” and now its’ newly opened international standard table tennis center, believed to be only the third center of its’ size in the UK.
The Trav’s is a smart Victorian built pub with a sister pub at Sawley, The Railway. Kevin and Jackie have tried to keep the old Victorian ambience although with a modern touch. We have 2 real coal fires one in the lounge and one in the bar making the establishment nice and cosy. Kev & Jackie have recently joined CAMRA so if any memebers out there want to come in and vet us please feel free; any reports back to CAMRA are most welcome, we normally have at least three real ales on including Pedigree, Theakstons and a guest ale.
Draycott Hoofers a walking group just started by Phil Heaton are meeting here the first Sunday of every month to do a local walk. Anyone interested just turn up for a 10.30AM start (ensure you have proper walking gear please). Draycott is ideally situated for walking as well as being the center point for many of the National Cycling routes (especially National cycle route no.6) , and hopefully it wont be long before the old canal is restored too it's former glory.

The pub itself is divided up into 5 areas as follows:-
The Lounge
With its’ coal fire, carpet throughout, large bay window and photographs of the surrounding area make it a cosy place to sit and relax. Home from home.
The Passage
A favourite place to congregate; the passage has original Victorian tiles, it’s own bar and also houses the notice board. The passage is also home to the cash and games machines. A small LCD television is also available in the passage.
