Customer Reviews
Great space for live music. Friendly staff. Expert lighting. The sound was well-balanced. Had a safe place to put your coats. Nearby parking.
This is my first visit to this venue for a family night out spanning three generations. Such a historic building that I must research to satisfy my curiosity. The gentleman on the door was very pleasant and helpful and was happy to arrange a chair for one of our group if there were none left, and the staff at the bar were brilliant with a fabulous sense of humour. Clearly, very experienced with a better memory than me as when I went back for another drink, no words were exchanged, just smiles. The facilities were good, clean working toilets and the cloakroom was a very reasonable £2. There were a few bench seats and coffee tables available to one side of the venue with the rest as standing. The bands we saw were brilliant. The lighting and sound quality were really good. Overall, it was a fantastic night. I would definitely visit this venue again. The venue is a short walk from both the train station and buses. There's parking nearby, too, including free on street parking with disc zones that end at either 18:00 or 19:00, do you may only require a disc for an hour as we did.
Fantastic venue with a really friendly atmosphere. Loved it!
