At the bottom of the logo are the Latin words ‘Domine Dirige Nos’, which translate in English to ‘Lord, guide us’.
On the pub’s website, the band announce that ‘The Foo Fighters Arms’ will also “host a series of events for both fans and the general public”, serve “Foo Fighters beer” and hold a Foo Fighters pub quiz next Monday with exclusive prizes.
