Love a smaller venue, it just means that you’re closer to the stage. Good lineup of smaller artists/bands. Lockers were easy to use and bathrooms were satisfactory.

went for a geordie greep concert. was a lovely atmosphere at the start, but completely horrible planning for concerts. what is supposed to be an intimate venue about the size of a large apartment turned into a mess where you could not see the performer at all due to a ginormous crowd. a simple task like getting a drink from the bar was incredibly difficult as it meant pushing through a sea of very hostile people. me and my partner went to the bathroom and to our surprise, we couldn’t even get back into the concert hall. unfortunately we had to leave a great concert 20 minutes into it. very disappointed :(

I’m legitimately certain this is the best club in Dam. Looked all night for a good club and this was the best find. Great music, sound system and drinks were nice but expensive. Would defo return.

Quite a nice club, cozy, easy to reach via metro. Great sound and atmosphere. I saw The Waeve (with Blur's Graham Coxon), and loved everything
