The Crobar, the much-loved rock and metal establishment on Manette Street, Soho, reaches the halfway mark since starting its #crofund.
When The Crobar announced its closure, fans around the world contributed to an online raffle to win big prizes like Dave Grohl’s drum cymbal to help pay the bar staff who found themselves permanently out of work, raising £20,000.

The Crobar – Famous London Rock Bar Launches Crowdfunder
In 2001 The Crobar opened in Soho because the owner saw a need for a dedicated Rock bar for the thousands of Rock and Heavy Metal fans that live in London.
London’s Rock community agreed, and The Crobar became the hang out for bands, crew, journalists, promoters and fans of all things Rock n’ Roll, not just from London but the world over. Over the years, the Crobar has paid host to numerous rock legends including Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Kerry King (Slayer) and Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), to name but a few, as well as international superstars such as Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, P!nk and Kiefer Sutherland.
