Top venue (went there before in 2011)...was there for the Interrupers gig last night. Decently priced beer, handily located near Tufnell Park tube station, Boston Arms pub next door, and key to a good venue good acoustics as well! Well worth the five stars I've awarded it!

Top place for Metal concerts. One of my favourites. Keep up the good work and don't yield to bullies hungry for notoriety. They will just bring ruin and trouble to your business.

Outstanding gig from Steve n Seagulls and Double Crush Syndrome. Really nice venue (helpful, plenty of security around but not obtrusive) - nice floor that wasn't sticky!. Stage at a good height for a good view and the sound was cool. Great audience (no agro at all). Definitely a venue to go back to for smaller gigs.

I love the Dome!

Best thing about it that the stage is high so if you're not too tall you won't end up blinded by people infront of you...

Sound system is brilliant.

User

Great venue, friendly staff and security. No barriers between the crowd and the band. Amazing sound. One of best venues of its size in London.

User

Great shows!...

I have seen here some of the best bands!...

Keep it up...

Great place for Incineration Fest recently, wicked staff that cook a mean burger. Bit gutted about Infernal not being let in though, as was looking forward to that.

Fucked my back a week before Knocked Loose were due to play. Emailed ahead hoping there was some secret seating area as the other time I went there I was front and centre. Iain sorted me out with a little secure area at the back so I could gently headbang ��� back soon for Kublai Khan and hopefully by then I'll be fighting fit!

Awesome gig, excellent line-up. I was a bit sceptical at first, given the [small] size of the venue, but the intimacy of the venue made the experience more personal, all of the acts took time out with the fans. No pretence with these guys, keeping it real.

User

Absolutely love this place �

Staff are lovely and the venues awesome!

The feel very early on was of a school dance but once it filled up there was a great atmosphere. Good view of the stage from anywhere. Beer was dearer than the pub downstairs but still reasonable. Easy to get to, 2 minutes from Tufnell Park tube.

User

Venue is fine acoustics can be a bit touchy but when good they are great! but bouncers are ignorant and rude. Totally uncalled for. This isn't the 1st time.

User

Took far too long to gain entry. Handy cloakroom and decent clean toilets. Friendly bar staff. Saw The 1975 the sound was amazing and atmosphere electric. Bit hectic getting out as not clear there was a separate que for cloakroom until your nearly at the door so you end up shunted to back of the que. But great eve overall.

Oh I do want to give you 5 stars. I really do. At the John Maus gig I was at the sound was great. I really love the selection of beers you have on draft and also in cans. Far superior to many gig venues.



However we need to talk about your toilets. In the ladies I found myself in the smallest cubicle known to man. I appreciate that space is a luxury in London but at least give a gal a handbag hook! It was like a crystal maze challenge trying to have a wee and also prevent a bag and coat from touching the floor or the lady bin. There was a questionable puddle on the floor from a previous visitor - you can't always expect a sister who has used that cubicle before to tinkle in a straight line when hovering which is why a bag hook is our friend.



Post-wee I think I managed to succeed in the challenge only to find that after washing my hands and using a paper towel to dry them, there was no bin! Seriously, no hooks and no bin! I have a picture of what looked like it was the start of paper towel Mount Everest that I am happy to share.



Towards the end of the gig my partner went to the gents and came back to say that they had a traumatic experience. It was as though something had died and then fermented in piss apparently. Expected at many venues but not one that is otherwise ticking all of the right boxes! You expect the smell of a dead badger covered in piss at a shit venue. Don't be like those venues! You are better than that!



So everything about your venue is bloody great. But sort out your bogs as they are pretty, pretty dire!



Thanks!

In light or more properly dark of the tragic atrocity taking place in Manchester the same night... as a con, I would definitely criticise the lack of security checks carried out while entering the venue for the event with Batushka and Noctem. The single security guard at the door just told me to step forward to the recession where they scanned my ticket and that was it, I wasn't even checked. As a pro, since this was the very first time I attended a gig in this venue, I truly welcomed the fact that there is no security pit (usually reserved for guards and photographers) at all that use to keep the crowd away from the actual stage. So that means you can actually stand next to the stage floor which is high enough not to climb onto it but still might feel much more closer to the musicians ripping it up!

Very disappointed that you’re hosting the neo-Nazi band Infernal War on Friday. Fascist scum have no place in London.

User

Neo-Nazi groups like Infernal Band should not be given any platform to spread their hatred and poisonous ideas.

Great venue for Aurelio voltaire et al last night clean toilets great attentive. Bar staff untill the night came to a close and the bouncers. (If you can call them that ) started throwing the weight around trying to stop voltaire from signing his fan march which due to the level of people buying it he had to delay so he could get on stage telling the eager fans he would resume after his set which he did five mins after he started this the aforementioned bouncers started saying wrap it up guys we need to close we need to clean. Up etc. I was stood in the queue With my friend and a rep from the promoter went to try and gain us more time which. Worked ten more minutes granted still after about half that the bouncers started up again now I was under the impression the customers are always right and the bouncers were somewhat rude to members of the fan base this had somewhat tainted the experience of a perfect and great evening
