All sorts of talent passes through this venue, from small indie bands (I saw Bastille here a year before they were signed) to large, more well known ones, of which I cannot think of any examples, so you'll just have to take my word for it. The venue is fairly small inside, but it has a wicked atmosphere. The garden is a very large area but unfortunately closes at half 10. This is because some d*ckheads moved in next door and filled noise complaints (honestly who does that?) and after almost being shutdown, they now have to close the garden early and there's a grumpy security guard who'll tell you to shutup if you're mildly noisy. There's a chinese restaurant attached, which isn't as good as it used to be, but it's useful to be able to order food at the bar. It's now £8 per ticket for smaller bands, so feels a bit pricey, especially seeing as drinks and food are about that too. read more
