Since Vectis has mentioned Terry Silver's session, it's in the New Tavern (aka the Newt), within easy staggering distance of the Anchor and the Bedford. If you're into general session playing you'll probably like it.

I (alternating with Tim Edwards and Hugh Diamond) am running singarounds in the bar of the Manor Pavilion (aka the Theatre Bar), which, unlike the Volunteer, operates as a genuinely inclusive singaround. The Middle Bar does too, except that this is sometimes difficult to spot in a bar where people keep moving around all the time. Murray might suspect it's anal not to allow instruments, but you should try it before you knock it (see comments about the Wareham Wail for comparison). Arc(h)anal is more like it. But it's a lot of fun.
