    Pleasantly surprised by this tucked away venue in the centre of southampton. Although the outsode of the building looks like an old warehouse, the inside brings a welcoming and enticing vibe. For a music venue, the choice of beers and ciders is refreshing. As are the wode variety of snacks available. I certainly haven't seen this available at other Southampton music venues. The fact that this relitively small venue can pull the interest of artists such as Enter Shikari definitely says something! The venue is comfortable and the acoustics of the room are of good quality. I would definitely reccomend coming here to see a gig wjen you can!
