Aatma

I went here alone to watch The Look Back Bores and ended up having the best night out I've had all year, as one person said to me you're amongst friends here. He was absolutely right, it was possibly the friendliest gig crowd I've ever been a part of, and a completely knobhead free zone. Whoever does the sound deservers a big pat on the back as it sounded fantastic. The main room is small and cosy with a bar at the back selling reasonably priced drinks. I know people say it's hard to find but if you call in the Peer Hat before, exit the back door to the right of the bar, turn left up the well lit alley for a few steps and you'll find the entrance is on your left, go up the stairs and your in. Even Tony Christie has been in and scribbled his name on the wall.

Really good venue for live music but it is up a very narrow steep set of stairs, so it's not the most easy to get to. However, there are lounges when you make it upstairs so there is somewhere to sit if you can go up. The drinks are a little on the cheaper side.

It's a bit of a dive but that's fine as I've no problem seeing live music in small venues like this. They've done ok to make it presentable and although there's no windows the air con ensures that it's comfortable and not smelly! However, they do lose a mark for the loos which are grim, particularly the ladies. It's not easy to find but the easiest way to find it is to go down Little Lever Street and it's down a small ginnel behind the police museum. I've put a few pics on to help. They also lose a mark for poor communication. We sent a message to them but they didn't reply. We asked a question on their facebook site but they didn't respond. We phoned during opening hours and it was just a useless recorded message. Very irritating.
