Beer quality was poor, and my mate was attempting to drink Guinness but was forced to leave it as he said it tasted watered down.

Despite it being billed as a late venue, the bar closed at midnight and everyone including the last playing band were virtually kicked out onto the street minutes after they stopped playing.

On a positive note the DJ in the bar area was putting out some good tunes though :-)

Not the sort of place I’d normally go but I hate seeing pubs that I’ve not been into so dropped in a couple of weeks ago. The small bar is a bit tatty but to be fair it’s purpose is really as a waiting room for the music venue. There was no real ale on but I had a decent pint of Star. Rather amusingly whilst they have one of those all-singing all-dancing coffee machines behind the bar the barman put the kettle on to make himself a cup of instant.

Potentially a great venue. Entry system wasn't ideal, people with tickets had to wait with the ones without. Staff were mostly friendly. Stage area was vast and was very crammed as there were 3 or 4 top bands on (not necessarily a band thing as it shows it's popular) and I agree with a previous reviewer in that it was extremely hot at times. Range if beers was average and didn't taste great. Entry cost was good value for money as there were TOP bands on.
Venue 6/10 and bands 9/10.

More a music venue with a bar than a pub with live music (if you know what I mean), but I've been there a couple of times and had an excellent night both times. Found the staff to be cheerful and attentative. (And the bar was open 'till 1 am.)

Bills itself as a late venue yet shuts at 11. Decent venue, cant remember the beer.
