Live Entertainment Venue, focusing on Local music, Jazz and Blues.

Good music, excellent cocktails.

Two Colchester born 20 something year olds were drinking in a pub on a Thursday night. They became bored that the only entertainment they had was the £5 pint in front of them. “What if there was a venue that had live entertainment, but it was open to everyone, free to get in and the drinks didn't put me into my overdraft?” One of them said to the other.
Spurred on by their passion for Live music, excessive amounts of caffeine and mediocre carpentry skills, 8 months later CODA was born.
We’re trying to do something for Colchester that hasn't been done before, a truly open venue that isn't pretentious, doesn't take itself too seriously and just wants to have a good time.
So join us for the ride?
