DJs
Ronnie’s hopefully connects with people through the music as much as the drinks we serve and the way we serve them. From the daytime playlists through to the night time playlists and the DJ sets and live bands, we aim to deliver music that inspires and entertains. Ultimately we hope Ronnie’s connects as a place synonymous with a good time.
With this in mind we asked our fantastic resident DJs a few relevant questions about what influences and inspires them. After all they play a key role in creating the superb atmosphere at Ronnie’s from 9pm to 3am every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
