    Nice, intimate if often cramped setting for live shows, although their set timings tend to be all over the place (gigs can finish anytime between 9:30pm and midnight from my experience) and I've heard they've a tendency to contractually screw over the bands who play there.

    For a venue in the back of a pub, this is pretty good. There's the main entrance area, which is the pub, then at the back of the room there are some double doors which lead to a decent sized room which is where the bands play. The stage is very low and the sound is pretty good.
