First time to be here for a concert. Went to see Hannah Bangh perform her first Australian concert last Tuesday 18/03/2025

It’s nice for small events. Sound system is pretty great. Toilet has that grungy feel but not dirty. Drink service is pretty quick. Overall experience 4/5

This is such a great incognito music venue! Amazing floor and balcony set up along with a bar that has a variety of cocktails & other beverages. My partner and I saw Shakewell & Fat Nick which was a pleasant & fun experience. The only thing was the security failed to reach an altercation in an appropriate time manner. Would absolutely love to see more of my favourite artists perform here 🎶😊

Great music venue, has two rooms and they're both great. Have attended, worked, and performed shows here and it's always an amazing experience. Perfect viewing platform at the back of the main room, and the smaller gallery is the perfect, intimate space. All staff and security are super friendly.

I was at this venue with a friend when we found ourselves in an uncomfortable situation with a man who was harassing us. It was the first time I felt the need to ask if Angela was working that night, unsure if anything would come of it. However, when I asked the bartender, she gave me a reassuring look, and within minutes, the man was removed from the venue. This experience really highlighted how safe and supportive the staff make the environment here. The team ensures the venue is not only welcoming but a place where guests can feel protected and secure.

I've attended almost every emo night this year and loved every one. The music is ever so slightly too loud (that's what you get for going to a party/rave so I can't complain) but always a good time.
The bar only serves drinks and the toilets are always a bit smelly. The toilets could definitely use some routine cleaning throughout the night.

Free water and cups are available for self serve at the bar, which is very mindful, very demure. Security is also always helpful, making sure no one gets hurt or gets too crazy, while still letting us have a good time.
