Live music is on most nights of the week and the venue has an excellent bar with some beers and ciders that you will not find at your standard bar. Taylor John's House specialises in putting on experimental and avant-garde music; everyone from nu-jazz sensations Polar Bear, to Canadian avant-metallers Nadja have played shows at the venue. The venue holds around a maximum of 200 people, providing an intimate and up close and personal interaction with the bands and performers. Taylor John's House is without doubt the premier venue for anyone interested in alternative music and art in Coventry. Students can also get a significant discount on most gigs. All in all, there is no other place quite like this for Coventry, I would highly recommened it.

The selection of real ales on tap is average and includes the very good Jennings Sneck Lifter, among other, less stimulating ales. However, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the décor adequate to the general purpose of this establishment. In other words, a wee bit above the average Spoon, but not by much. There are other, much more appealing traditional pubs (The Old Windmill, The Town Wall Tavern, e.g.) within walking distance. If've seen much worse, I've seen much better.

What a deceptively huge place!…read more This first visit of mine was prompted by a slow festering, Saturday afternoon hangover belly and an equally as delicate pre-payday bank balance. Your typical hearty pub grub style menu. I just chose a starter - the chicken goujons which came with potato wedges and a really tasty spicy tomatoe-y dip. Was just what I needed! My only gripe with this meal is that the wedges were thin and floppy. Tasted great though. The bar staff were real talkative and nice which only added to the friendly atmosphere of the place. Our table was not cleaned in between sittings though which was slightly disappointing - but an all round good trip with fair prices and decent grub

You may be wondering "did the band not play well?" and to that my answer is no. They didn't play at all. Their slot was pushed so far back i was sat in my seat for 4 hours waiting for them to get up there and rock nuneaton into space. Unfortunately, they never got to play at the Crew in Nuneaton as the "man" running the live music didn't let eternal storm play. Lucky someone stepped up however i shan't be touching on that subject for personal and legal reasons In conclusion, i never got to see eternal storm strike and instead was forced to drive 40 minutes home after waiting for 4 long hours just for my favourite band. Very VERY disappointed.

Everything is coming out of a bottle or can. BUT they make it up by having a fantastic (too huge to drink in one night) selection of trappist and German beers. Prices are reasonable. Their stock tends to change so there's always something new. It's quite small, with a few booths inside and an open area out front. The only negative here is that this place is packed on a Saturday so you might find yourself in a queue. Very good live music. Last time the band was local but heavily influenced by Mogwai/GYBE. Inspire has some really handsome patrons. I just wish I knew what to say.

Racism is one of the most f***ed up concepts on the planet, so if you have racial prejudices, trust me, if you ever trust me about one thing, trust me on this, get the f*** over them. We are all the same. You are wrong. Thanks. Speaking of wrong, it's wrong to put this stadium where it's hard to get to, and to put the prices so damn high, and for that reason I have to give it a 4 instead of a 5. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I couldn't believe how much I had to pay for a ticket. Is this the Premier League? I think not. I paid more here than I paid even at a Fulham game... a home Premier League game in London! I'm not sure why this is the case and believe me it's the only reason it scores a 4 instead of 5. Because this is an absolutely remarkable stadium. State of the art, beautiful, magnificent, with intense and loud support from the rabid Coventry fans. I love it. It's a great place to watch concerts too. It's twice the stadium Highfield Road was. But as long as the prices are this high, I can't give them more than 4. The last game I saw here was 2011, and I'm hoping to go back to another one in 2016... if I can afford it. It reminds me of Manchester City's stadium, believe it or not. I've been inside both - lucky boy. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** But I still love this place. It's capable of a great atmosphere (the team will need to get back to the Prem for that, they're 2 tiers down), it's held rock concerts like the awesome Bon Jovi an the awful Nickelback and someday hopefully me, and it's a cute sky blue like the team. It looks great inside and out like my gf. It was part of the Olympics and can hold a whopping 32k fans which is fantastic for a new stadium. It cost a whopping 113 million which is crazy. Because the stadium is owned by ACL I'll keep it at 4 stars, they're really mean to the club itself. It's an AMAZING stadium, but CCFC need to own it in order for this to work properly.
