5 Star Review by MERCY RENE

The best for local and international bands. I love the atmosphere here and will be sad to see it go. Ive seen many a band here and loved every experience.

3 Star Review by kate “Patto” patterson

The toilet situation there is still so disgusting even after 20years it hasn't changed .....enjoyed the dancefloor though

5 Star Review by Emma Bussell

Great night out!! Excellent choice in music Had to wait a fair while at the bar but they had a few staff call in sick on the night which makes it really hard for the ones who showed up.

2 Star Review by Domi

Bartender was unfriendly, they looked mad when asked for salt with a tequila shot. Also the dancefloor is unbearable, it sinks so bad, I hat to leave every 10minutes for a five minute break. Who has a capet floor in a club!?!?!!
