Security Staff unnecessarily brute.
It was a small concert with a small attendance , there was no need for the gruff, heavy-handed , OTT policing of crowd.
Everyone was happy, orderly and patient

I was here recently with my wife to see The Midnight play live. Great venue with a lively intimate atmosphere. The drinks are a little expensive but not excessively so compared to other places in Temple Bar.

If you are looking place for a gig, the place is the best in Dublin. The sound engineers are really helpful, the equipment is on high level. The only thing what I would change is to put the price of the drinks at the bar.

My boyfriend and myself went to see Emma Blackery here a few weeks ago and it was incredible. The security was great and very helpful. They have a handy cloak room for bags or even merch guy buy. The bar was lovely, plenty to choice from. I hope the venue picks up more good acts because I'd love to visit again. Definitely a nice safe venue for young kids and teenagers to visit and have a good night at a concert.

Fell down the rabbit hole of Irish RNR, met by the charming Brian who presented truely mind-blowing artefacts and authentic stories of past and present music scene in Dublin. With a twinkle in his eye and a cheeky grin he won over the group with his amazing stories with personal references.

Our first time to this club (Otoboke Beaver concert). The security personnel at the door were efficient and kind. The club has a comfortable standing downstairs area for those who wish to be close to the action, and a seated balcony for those who wish to rest a bit.
The bands came on at the stated times and there was not an excessive amount of time in-between the two acts. One of the nicer clubs I have visited (and I have been to clubs around the world).

Good selection of drinks, safe atmosphere. Really pleasant side bar near the entrance. Strictly followed Covid safety procedures while entering the venue for the gig.

The bathrooms are filthy at 7:30pm and every surface of every floor sticky and dirty. Clearly this venue is not being cleaned after clubs.
