Reviewer MrsEvans

The web site is not the best. Booking tickets online is dire. You try to set the quantity of tickets you want and it won't. It kept saying 4 when I wanted two. In the end I agreed to 4 and on the next pageit said two tickets plus two booking fees which was right - could have explained before that 4 really means 2. I tried to see what would happen if I only wanted 1 ticket but it still said 4! Also you have to enter your date of birth presumably to say that you are over 18. The date has to be selevted from a drop down box and you could only be as old as born in 1961 (mens you are 50) but you could be as young as born in 2061 (you are minus 50 years old.) How many punters do they sell to that won't be born for another fifty years?

I'm not sure why Mrs Evans had so much trouble, she has managed to buy some tickets... but she is incorrect about the date of birth drop down menu. You can be 100 years old and come to 229 and yes, although there is an option to be born in 2061, this is because we are hoping to encourage the future generation to come to the venue. It's just a marketing ploy, as we intend to send a free pair of tickets to people on the day of their birth! We do always welcome constructive feedback and will endeavour to improve the service we provide. Thanks

Not impressed I'm afraid. Nice venue but they care nothing for music. We were all thrown out at 10pm on Saturday to make way for a Private party. The Longfellows set was cut short and the bar promptly closed at 10! The bands were awesome....The attitude of the venue was pants. As a club it's OK, as a venue for a Gig it sucks.....

ace ace ace.
love the place, been to gigs in the larger and smaller venue, both have amazing PA, the sound is fantastic and the stage is very high, so you can see the bands no matter how short you are and where ever you stand.

Came here on a house night and it was banging. Top tunes and excellent DJs on the decks - will be returning.
