Awful place. Where the punters are packed in like sardines, where the air conditioning is 'faulty' i.e. deliberately switched off to keep the temperature high so that drink is consumed, and therefore purchased, quicker. The staff, particularly the bouncers, are extremely rude.
The smoking area is accessed after standing in a lengthy queue getting bumped into and drenched by drunken louts. Heaven help anyone who wants to get out for a breath of fresh air, as my friend did. He was told robotically and sternly, 'Join the queue'. After pleading with the bouncer he was threatened with violence. Charming. When the front of the queue is finally reached, five people are allowed into a beer garden that has plenty of room for more people than they allow into it, the I suppose to do otherwise would mean giving people inside more space to move and breathe....
If you need to go to the toilet, don't be too picky. One man was relieving himself in a bin at one stage and by other accounts, people urinating and defecating in random places is not rare.
The music is predictably bland, though in fairness, the people aren't here for the music. Getting blind drunk seems to be the raison d'etre of the clientele, and the staff are only too happy to indulge them.
This place is surely one of the most ill-managed establishments I have ever had the misfortune to set foot in, and I will never, ever be back.

Not a bad spot at all and open till 3am. Yes it's a little bit dirty but adds to the rock vibe and general experience, rather quite like myself may i add! :D
Oh and it's always got a good ratio girls to guys, which is always a good thing!!

I didn't think the live band were particularly good on the night I went but having said that, the evening was terrific. Good vibe, friendly people. Would certainly come back.
