Went there for a comedy night midweek in the basement. (Chumps) Very intimate set up, relaxed and friendly vibe, cool video streaming loop projected on the walls of flowers opening speeded up and accompanying sort of 80s soundtrack. Looking forward to going back for just a beer and a few games of pool when it's open at the weekend or for some music.
Was here to watch and listen to Harry Baker. Had a great night. Door staff and bar staff friendly. Nice and small, ish. I guess 150 people, so a good atmosphere. It’s in the Center of Margate so close to parking and restaurants and the such.
This is the friendliest place, staff are superb, making you feel comfortable, going above and beyond to make sure you have a good night. Seen many bands and comedians here, the atmosphere is always spot on. Two venue spaces up and downstairs. If I was to have one moan it’s the loos are down fairly steep stairs, otherwise this place is epic.
Hidden gem. We went here one evening to see a band. Staff very friendly and engaging. Nice ‘funky’ urban atmosphere - eclectic mix of seating and a pool table....reminded us of the buzz we experienced in the ruin bars in Budapest. Downstairs great venue for intimate gigs.
A lovely vinyl place to hang around with great music and vibes, friendly staff and great coffee despite limited coffee choice. They did not serve cappuccino or machiato but the coffee was smooth and strong. A lovely colourful place to hang out for a drink and music and pretty good collection. Liked the retro decor as well. Will definitely recommend.
Great venue! Friendly helpful staff, lovely bar area upstairs and great gig venue in the basement. Iraina Mancini was great here, we'll definitely be back, especially if Iraina returns!
Great feel upstairs, very friendly yet dark and moody. Bar staff were super kind and friendly, my pregnant wife fancied a mocktail so they knocked something tasty up. Downstairs gets quite stuffy whether it’s semi full or rammed, in the winter or spring, but I guess that’s an underground gig venue for you.
It's great! They had the Love Reptiles playing! Amazing!
