Sally Longs

Using the tag-line "Everyone has to learn to drink somewhere", Sally Longs in Abbeygate Street Upper has a ye-olde stone exterior.  In October 2025 (shown above), this is complemented by a Rock Legends mural on the gable end (not shown here), an Abbey Road / Beatles pedestrian-crossing image on the inner door, and a stylized painting of English musician, singer/songwriter, and founder, front-man, and bassist for the heavy metal band Motörhead Lemmy Kilmister - warning people to (mis?)behave.   This building-as-an-canvas is paired with a jukebox packed with metal, rock, alternative, punk, and everything in-between, and customers from all works of life who lean towards the winder side.  A night-time photo really gives the right vibe.     

The picture below was taken in July 2021, when the trim was still bright , and Lenny wasn't quite ready.   At first, it looks altogether lighter - and then until you spot the motorcycle on display inside through the left-hand window.
