I use an electric wheelchair and that usually means being shoved out of the way at gigs and concerts. I saw Kid Kapichi in the Key Club, last night. I was escorted into the venue by a very friendly member of security and after being shown where the accessible toilets were and given basic safety information, was given permission to sit in front of the stage. There was no argument about my assistant being given a seat, it’s so much easier to communicate with an assistant if they are on the same level as a person using a wheelchair, especially in a crowded and noisy gig. I have seen Kid Kapichi a few times in other venues. The helpful and friendly attitude of the staff made that my favourite Kid Kapichi show, ever! I shall definitely be returning.

Went here to see Intervals. Great little club sound was loud but love these small venues for best gig atmosphere went with my 13 year old for his first gig experience, couldnt have been better. Staff friendly, drinks decently priced. A night to remember.

Came here on a recommendation from a doorman of another bar. The door staff here was also very friendly especially the lady working (didnt catch a name). This is a basement alternative night club with 2 rooms. Place was busy and one room has rock/pop rock music on and the other was more heavy metal. Both rooms had their own bar, and staff were quick at serving. Prices were good and shots were only £2.50 each, bargain!

As well as going multiple times and absolutely loving the atmosphere, music, and vibe, I recently played a gig here and I have to say the help with setting up and sound/lights was incredible. The staff were super friendly and clearly knew what they were doing, the gig was amazing and it couldn’t have been possible without them. 10/10 would definitely recommend to go for a night out or to play a gig.

A fantastic small independent music venue in the heart of the city. This is a great place for an intimate gig with a great sound and fantastic atmosphere. There is a great schedule and tickets and drinks are reasonably priced.

Horrible experience, the staff in this place is very passive aggressive. One of my friends got kicked out for “harassing people” when we were just stood in the corner minding our business, seemed like because we were dressed like typical “straight lads” we just got generalised and singled out. The door woman needs to take a look at her self in the mirror, extremely unprofessional and I felt like I wasn’t welcome.

Me and my friend came there just to have a good time like everyone else, we didn't look for any trouble with anyone, we acted in a respectful manor and abided by the rules of the establishment. We pretty much kept ourselves to ourselves and just danced for most of the night. Out of nowhere I was pulled aside by the bouncer and accused of harassing people, I then proceeded to explain my side of the story but I was instantly dismissed, being the tall straight white male I am. A bunch of adolescent woke moralists looking for any excuse to exercise their 'voice' of freedom when in reality they're just there to police you in a condescending way. Would not recommend to anyone.

Me and my friend got wrongfully accused of harassing other people with no evidence whatsoever. We voiced our side of the matter to staff. None of which took our perspective into consideration. We got kicked out for no reason. We attended with the intention of having a good time and harming nobody, but it's clear that assumptions were made based off of the fact that we happen to be young straight lads and we don't fit in with the average demographic. Complete hypocrisy. Do not recommend. They say everyone is welcome, but clearly this isn't the case.

The venue itself is very nice. The security however, not so much. Me and my girlfriend were going to a 14+ gig. The doors opened at 7pm. We arrived a little early so went for a walk and then entered at 7pm. We were then shouted at by the security man for coming too early. We stood there for 2 seconds and checked the time on our phones to see if we were mistaken (we weren’t), and he then proceeded to shout at us again. We waited outside for another 10 minutes, at which he then came outside and shouted at us again. It completely ruined the experience and left me and my girlfriend in tears. Not sure if it was because we were younger than him or if it’s because we were a visibly queer couple. Either way, we were sure to avoid him during the show but felt so upset by the experience and anxious of what might happen if he saw us again that we ended up leaving half way through.

Great club, had tons of fun and enjoyed myself, it is £4 entry which wouldn’t be too bad if the prices for drinks weren’t as high as they were. Definitely think that was a little silly, but asides that. Great club.
