Kelly O'Keefe
March 2025Great venue, lovely friendly staff, got served quickly at the bar. Loved the fact they have female security. Good sound and nice decoration. Great venue. Will come again.
E Tristram
February 2025Love it, great venue, amazing music. Honestly awesome gig, would love to see who else plays here - saw Lila Tristram, Black Foxxes and Runner Up. Brilliant. Always worth seeing the support bands 🙌🙌🙌 Never know what you're gonna like - could meet a new favourite artist 😉 Gonna check out what's on next

March 2025Great music venue in the centre of Bristol. Decent sound, even right by the speakers, & good visibility from most points. Good drinks selection, including alcohol-free to cater for everybody. I also liked that there's a water tap at the side to let folks rehydrate without having to queue at the bar. Definitely a place to check out.
