el charquito
every thursday + sunday
from 4pm
Improv Lounge Jam Sessions – live from the basement, every Thursday!
Come along with your instrument (or just yourself) and get stuck into a relaxed night of jamming. Whether you're here to play or just enjoy the tunes, everyone's welcome.
To keep these sessions free to attend, we just ask that you support the night by grabbing a drink or a bite while you're here – every purchase at the bar helps us keep the jams going.
No need to drink alcohol if that's not your thing – we've got loads of soft drinks and some cracking empanadas too.
See you down there!

El Charquito — “the little puddle” — started life in 2024 and has quietly grown into one of the muddy puddle’s biggest treasures. What began as a simple idea has blossomed into two weekly lounge jams filled with nothing but community spirit and exciting musical energy. Everyone’s welcome — all instruments, all levels, all genres.
Watching this little family grow under our roof, hearing new connections spark and new sounds take shape, has been an absolute honour. We can’t wait for you to come soak it in with us.
