Venue Overview
The venue is described as a great club and live music venue with plenty of seating, friendly and approachable security and bar staff, and well-organised security processes. The venue has multiple areas, including a chill-out area, a main area with options for proximity to the stage, and a raised glassed bar with seating.
Ambience and Layout
The venue has a small and intimate atmosphere, making it easy to see the stage from various locations. However, some reviewers mentioned that the layout can be confusing, with many staircases leading to different levels.

Prices and Value
Reviewers mentioned that the bar prices are reasonable for a Central London venue, but one reviewer noted that the bar selection was limited due to empty beer taps.
