Went to see Alfie Moore. It's a relaxed casual intimate basement. All the staff were excellent would definatly go again, and Alfie was great to.

Just performed a play here, the place is small but has a lovely warm and intimate atmosphere. The staff looked after us really well too. Would be happy to return, either as a performer or audience.

Show was great- need more bar staff during intervals

Nice little venue, but rather warm and not enough seating. The bands/singers were great.

User

Cool intimate venue. Enjoyed the performances from all musicians

User

Attended a comedy evening, acts were great and staff friendly. Venue not so good, packed in like sardines and long queue for drinks with nowhere to put them when sat down! Also bit warm. I would suffer the venue again to see the acts though!

User

Been in better music venues. Jolie Holland and Sam Parton are great but alas venue has low ceilings; poor acoustics and limited seating. On the plus side the beer is good
