Haven’t been in a very long time in the venue, where the sound quality was so good. We saw Donny Benét this evening, and it was brilliant. We loved it.

What a great local gem. A fantastic selection of events and music acts. If you’re short, this is a great venue! The stage is raised so you nearly always have a great view and there is a raised platform for an extra boost. Also it’s much wider than it is long, so the views are generally great. Wide selection of local beers and drinks. Always a good time at Strange Brew! Feels very different depending on the event, which is quite unique to this venue
Richard
Excellent staff and communication especially the manager. Small venue with superb sound and crew

Visited to see a band. Nice layout, with quirky decor and decent view of the stage which is a requirementif you're wee and excessively tall people always stand in front of you. Good selection of drinks at the bar.
