Very aesthetic, small but spacious, has seating on the sides, great lighting and lovely bar stain glass mosaic. Went on a night being preformed by Ross from Friends.

I love this venue, great sound, plenty of room to dance, lots of street music events, always people with great vibes, they know what a club is all about. Definitely will recommend. Also they offer free water. Their bar faucet needs fixing, when you try to grab some water prepare for a full body shower, don't use the one by the entrance go to the second bar by the bench. There is another faucet there that pours water smoothly. Great lights, sound and vibes. Love it

I think the best time to go to the great northern is for a block party. They know how to do it and it’s fun! It extends the space and they have it pretty dialed at this point. Beware that party will end promptly at 9pm because of noise ordinance. But they generally have an after party inside.
