Not actually eaten here but didn't want to give zero stars. Otherwise always had a great time here for gigs. Staff from door to cloakroom and bar have always been friendly. Prices aren't bad for city centre (tickets and drinks) and sound for gigs has always been spot on. Apart from two small spots behind pillars never had any issue seeing the stage. Definitely on the smaller side but never felt cramped.
