December 2024Gorilla is both a restaurant and music venue. We stayed for food, which was excellent, as was the service - thanks Ros. I'd have given it a 5⭐ review except we needed to use the accessible toilet, but it was broken. Other than that it's well worth the visit & I'd love to go again to try the Tacos. The gig venue is fantastic, well lit with an exciting animated backdrop for all the bands. Mainly standing, but there's a raised area at the back with seating for 12. If you need to sit, which we did, this was perfect. The most comfy gig I've ever been to and the only sitting gig I've not been annoyed by those around me. Amazing to see Dekaytah, Black Gold and the legendary Pitchshifter in such a cool venue.

November 2024Homophobic bouncer who wouldn’t give us his name or badge number. Kicked off at us and accused my partner of taking substances (they have adhd). We were let in by another bouncer who said we were all clearly fine. Went to the bar to ask for management and moments after the staff said it on the walkie talkies he came up and made us all leave the club. A few of us in the group attempted to contact gorilla for help following the night and never had a response
