A cash only entry fee is in place.

What makes this really cool, multiple award-winning basement music venue so universally appealing is its unique daily mix of excellent, multi-genre live music, well-presented in a stylish but non-trendy environment, with great bar service, amid an ever-changing creative buzz.

Since we opened in 2005, our music programme has developed into a fantastic musical genre-mix, making the venue hugely popular with a diverse range of audiences. About one third of what goes on here is ‘Jazz’ of some kind, another one third is Acoustic/Blues/Roots, the remaining one third being Funk/Soul/Electric. So every single day there are multiple gigs of varying style happening (that’s 3-5 gigs a day – EVERY day!), but always with extremely high quality.

And with SIX major awards sitting on our trophies shelf, you can trust that you’ll be hearing excellent music, in a correspondingly first-class environment.

Check the Programme Listings before you drop in, and you’ll see what musical genre will be onstage at any time (several every day!)
Please note that as we have ever-changing bands on, with constantly shifting audiences, we can’t reserve seating or tables for any events.

You’re coming in to a laid back, relaxed vibe (it’s not a concert, but please respect the music) so we prefer smart/casual; jeans are OK as are suits, frocks or even ‘Black Tie’ evening dress, if you want to dress up a bit! (We do often see people coming in after being at a formal party, in long dresses and kilts) .

Entry will always be at the discretion of our highly experienced, courteous and efficient (contracted) Security door staff, and we trust their judgement, which is based on many years of experience here, and is also based on their knowledge of our discerning clientele. They prefer that people are not in shorts, tracksuit bottoms, bare feet or with flip-flops footwear, and we support this view.

Also, we are not really a ‘Party Venue’ for Stag or Hen nights – people come here to enjoy the music and have a good time, not to be distracted by raucous behaviour. The entry discretion may also apply to any form of fancy dress.
