As this venue has only recently opened (or at least come to my attention) we called in just for a peek and it certainly looks to be a great venue. It's not far from the city centre and the presence of the Hot Water Comedy Club will certainly make it popular. Next time we'll be trying the food, especially Desserts by Dre, as we already know how fab his cheesecakes are..!

After a less-than-ideal experience at the previous venue, we were invited to visit the new location, and I must say, we were thoroughly impressed. The venue is stunning—far beyond what the online photos suggest. Spread across two floors, it features multiple bars, food vendors, and charming, quirky decor. The new theaters are a significant improvement: they’re cleaner, more comfortable, and have a much more pleasant atmosphere. However, the seating is a bit compact, so be prepared for a cozy experience. The staff, without exception, were polite, welcoming, and helpful, which made for a much more enjoyable visit compared to our last one. We arrived early to try the food, opting for Patterson. With such a wide variety of options, it was hard to choose! Ordering was easy via QR codes on the tables, and we found the prices reasonable for both food and drinks. Pints are priced around £5.50, and cocktails are approximately £10—what you would expect for a venue of this caliber. As for parking, street parking is available for free right outside the venue. We attended an early show and arrived around 5:30 pm, but for later shows, parking might be more challenging. The Paul Smith show itself was fantastic, and we also enjoyed the entertainment in the food court. If we lived closer, we would definitely visit more often. For future visits, I recommend booking an early show, as parking and seating in the bar and food areas become very limited later in the evening. When our show ended at 8:15 pm, the venue was extremely busy. Overall, I look forward to returning. The free shows every Sunday are particularly appealing, and I’d love to spend more time enjoying the live music in the food court. Thank you to Paul for giving us the opportunity to return and being able to experience the Hot Water Comedy Club for what it is. Really impressed.

What an amazing space, so much going on you can just sit and try to take it all in. Free comedy on a Thursday. A great, well staffed bar + self service beer pumps serving craft beers etc. loads of different types of food on offer from the multiple outlets. From the moment you walk in your totally taken into its friendly modern and extremely well presented vibe. Don’t be put off by the approach which is through the industrial estate. Which is gradually being revamped as much of the city is. Couldn’t recommend more ,it’s fantastic!

Great venue. Have visited a few times when going to see a show at the hot water comedy club. Bar is reasonably priced, plenty of choice for food which you order at your table via an app. We went for burgers before show and dessert after. All food delicious. Great night out with live music on stage too.
