    One of the nicest looking venues in London, with some top-notch leather sofas near the top. Just a shame the sound is constantly terrible (occasionally to a gig-ruining extent) and it takes 500000000000 hours to leave the venue after a show. I avoid it as far as possible.

    it's like a darker, gothic version of shepherd's bush empire, and i think the drinks are more expensive. it's a bit more spacious I suppose, but still definitely not a favourite. haven't seen anyone perform upstairs though... i was told there's a smaller stage on the top floor.
