Nice little venue. Easy to find and plenty of places to eat. Went to see the longest johns and it is a very intimate venue with 1 bar. There is sitting upstairs but you have to get there early to bag a good spot. Only down side is the toilets which are a little to small and need a bit of a clean and fix up. I had to queue as did my wife and that was before we had even got to the hall.
Small place (couple of hundred maybe), with a raised stage so you can see the bands from pretty much everywhere. Bar at the back and then some seating upstairs on the balcony directly opposite the stage. Great venue to see a band in, acoustics are decent enough.
The staff were amazing and so helpful. However it is a very small venue and when using the accessible seating upstairs, the bass really reverberates leading to my Dad feeling sick and needing earplugs.
We visited here to see Luke Combs experience and the gig itself was fantastic. The time just flew by and everyone was enjoying the atmosphere. We were lucky enough to find some standing space up on the balcony, and we could still see over just fine (I'm 5ft6, and hubs is 6ft3). There was an exit from the balcony to the toilet and also an extra bar serving limited drinks upstairs, so we didn't have to try and fight through the crowd. I have deducted a star because the drinks were a bit steep and they really needed more staff on the downstairs bar to keep up with demand. Otherwise it was a great night.
Nice venue, easy to find, get into the main stage room, has a bar. Its intimate for sure. We went to see Hugo Hamlet. Staff were nice. Plenty of parking around and food places shops etc. Was a good night. Only thing is the bathrooms needed a clean and we couldn't use the upstairs balcony as it was reserved but only two people were up there the entire night. Sooo hey ho.
