    The Beacon Arts Centre

    The Beacon is one of the newer venues on the scene. Originally built to provide a new home for the…read moream-dram Greenock Arts Guild, it quickly made a name for itself on the small-scale touring circuit and is now run by professional staff. It has a 500-seat main auditorium and a studio space and boasts stage facilities that quite a few main-scale theatres would be envious of. In fact, it's a shame that the main house only seats 500, as the stage is large enough to accommodate some fairly large gigs that would attract a large audience. The cafe/restaurant out front serves a very high standard of pre-theatre nosh too and offers great views over the Clyde. A nice place to sit with a coffee and gaze at the scenery.

    This is a really great venue. My guy and I came here for an evening concert and I'm really glad we…read moredid. I was given these tickets as part of my Christmas gift, and I was really excited that the night was finally here. The venue itself is set on the water, and in between various older buildings, so it kinda sticks out with it's modern feel to it, but it's still quite nice. We walked in and immediately to the right is their bistro which is a great place to come to for a meal during the day or for dinner and drinks at night. If we're ever back in the area, I'd like to stop in for a meal as there were a lot of great options to choose from on their menu and it smelled heavenly. There is a pretty big entry way where people can hang out during intermissions or before the shows. The toilets were bright and clean and easy to get to. The inside of the venue is great and we had really great seats. Four rows from the stage, dead centre. The only thing that was tough (and completely my fault) was needing to use to the toilet (too many pre-show drinks, ha!) during one of the opening shows. Being in the centre of the row of seats made for interrupting a bunch of people who didn't seem too thrilled about it. I was able to sit in a different row when I got back, for a few songs until the bad was done playing so I kept from interrupting any more people. All in all, the acoustics were great and the overall feeling of the venue was wonderful. Loads of seats and nice staff members to help you get to your seats. I would definitely come back for another show if we were to get tickets again.

    Why I like Sweeney's on the Park: -it sells two real ales…read morefrom Fyne Ales at £3.30 and in good condition -it has very friendly staff -nicely refurbished interior -feels like a locals' pub even though it's been gentrified somewhat -has a selection of great value snacks such as pies and sausage rolls -has sky TV for the fitba -welcome break from some "classier" venues nearby -breaks up the journey between John Striling Maxwell and Mulberry Street

    We were booked as a band for a night of music in Sweeney's, playing alongside some other local…read moreacts. The night itself wasn't organised by the bar but someone outwith who hosts a regular music showcase. The evening felt very uorganised, and although, little of this is down to Sweeney's, the staff were of little help. We arrived early. The decor is eclectic, the pub definitely has a personal touch. I really liked the musical and instrument motifs by the stage area. There's also some quirky signs by the bar. Although, it did all a bit funky and mismatched to me. When we walked in, instruments in hand, we made our way from one half of the bar to the other; one which has the stage. Although the bar staff in the first room had explained we'd to head through to the second, nobody welcomed us or explained what would be happening when we got there. Other than a heckle from some folks at a table and a 'What will you be playing for us?!', we were left to it. We took a seat and, noticing no other instrument-in-hand folks, wandered exactly what the plan was. So we ordered drinks, and then I introduced myself and the band. At this point, more musicians were in the bar. Phew! The barman explained that the person who runs the night was running late. Understandably not their fault, what could they do? But then time went on and on. And there was no update from the bar. We just waited and waited. We'd presumed we were first since it had been listed that way without a mention of running times but after waiting till after the night should have begun (when the organiser finally arrived), we found out we were second. By this point, we just wanted to play; play and go home. In addition, the monitor mix wasn't great and the organiser had mistakenly thought there was two of us, so Sweeney's only paid two of us for performing. The general feeling was that there's venues out there doing amazing things for local music. The best and memorable gigs for us have had great hosts behind them. We just didn't feel this way about Sweeney's, and that's a pity.
