You can tell this place has history. Classic pub atmosphere, staff was nice and the gig I went to also organised in a separate section with bar and balcony looking down to the stage. Cool. Just can't digest the 4€/hr parking around there though omg.

Came here for a concert venue. Security were polite, and checked ID as I had a 21 year old with me. Venue was great for the concert. We stood near the back and still had a good view. Sound was great, not too loud! We didn't buy any drinks, so can't comment on that. Toilets were clean. Floor wasn't sticky in the bar! Nice atmosphere.

We loved it! We were fortunate enough to be there during a special event they have every January and it was really cool! Great music, enough space, fair prices and good service!

Attended Shane Marno gig and although the artist put on a brilliant gig, and the sound quality was very good, the venue itself was far too hot with no air-conditioning. The artist must have been unbearably hot. Drinks very also very dear.

Great music venue, lots of bands. Was there for a show and youre up close with a great view of the performers. Managed to feel intimate and not too crowded even though it was full. Coat check available too.
