Went there for a gig. LOVED it. Really great venue. Stage in the middle of the room worked so well. Recommended. Coloured lights in the bar area were great. Not their fault at all but worth saying The Mall was unexpectedly poorly lit at night, felt a bit uncomfortable walking to the venue as a lone woman. Front desk staff were a bit cold, which was a shame though as a first point of contact. Everyone lovely inside. Unexpectedly impressive for gigs.

I went to this venue to see Yunè Pinku. I thought it might be a bit stiff and formal, but there was actually a bar in the live space. The sound system and stage were both excellent.

Lovely place for artistic and art cinema. But the ticket price is high. I went there for four times, two as Open City Festival Volunteer, one for Nowness short film festival, one for You burn me. There is oftentimes exhibitions going on, and it’s nice to catch them. And very convenient place near the St James Park.

Went in for the Japan Foundaion Film festival. The way that the seat was designed is not really appropriate for film watching.

The cafe ran out of snack at 5:30.

Some other goers have horrible manner as well but I guess it's not their fault. Although it will be nice if they stop them though.
