London, Wednesday 31 March, 2021: The Crobar, the much-loved rock and metal establishment formerly on Manette Street, Soho, launches the world’s first online pub to bring together a global community to help each other navigate through the pandemic.

Owner Richard Thomas saw an opportunity to help his customers and anybody else who wants to join in by creating a secure and controlled space where anybody is welcome to have a natter, lift their spirits and be themselves.
