| I am in my late twenties, don't like going to clubs, and enjoy music so this was a perfect night starter for us. We ate at the bar then headed back to watch the bands. The night we went there were 4 bands playing and our tickets cost 7.50 GBP apiece. The mixed drinks are fairpriced but the beer is relatively cheap...especially if you get whatever's on tap. The bands play in the back room and there's a bar there as well. You'll get the chance to be nice and cozy with the locals as it's standing room only. I think the bar closes at midnight though.

| 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 :-) losbenitos - 2 Mar 2009 11:30 |
| 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. Millay - 14 Feb 2009 18:57 |
| 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. IMG1975 - 16 Mar 2008 20:37 |
| 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.) JackoWHU - 23 Oct 2007 20:11 |
