    Just leaving a review to remind everyone that this place refused to lease their venue to a Jewish youth group on the basis that it was a Jewish youth group #stopantisemitism

    I just feel the place needs a massive refurb. The layout of each room doesn't fit its purpose. All glasses are plastic which is a bit off putting. Drink selection could be improved. But usually we do have a fun time there. Staff are all pretty friendly unlike places like the Imperial for instance l.

    Great little comedy show. Nice mix of new and upcoming comedians from all walks of life. Lots of laugh. Lunch option was a delicious vegetarian curry.

    Great atmosphere in an artist run venue. Feels like someone's place, more than a venue, but really professionally setup. Will definitely go back. Small enough to be intimate, but large enough to have a great sound for live shows.

    Such a wonderful venue with a BRILLIANT concept behind it! It was a nice comfortable venue (even had a couple of couches around the space) with a bar (can't comment on that as I was not yet 18 when I went) I'm looking forward to trying to attend more gigs here! It's easily accessible with parking on surrounding side streets and it being within a short walking distance of both train stations and bus stops.

    Always enjoy performances at this venue. The informal seating arrangement is warm and inviting. Did notice a few technical glitches with lighting, sound and alignment of the "cinema" screen. Was a new or inexperienced person running things? This has not been an issue in the past.

    Can't believe I hadnt been here yet, 5 years after moving from Melbourne to Sydney. This is Brunswick/Northcote in a nutshell.

    Excellent LGBTQI-friendly venue that hosts awesome events! Great performance space, and a nice quiet sit down area upstairs if things get too loud. Drinks are fairly standard price, and staff are hard-working and lovely.

  • 5/5 Nic H. 7 years ago on Google
    Excellent venue, ran entirely by volunteers. The people here are great and the atmosphere tends to be really positive and tends to be positive and upbeat. As a performer this venue is great because there is both a backroom and a separate upstairs are for bands, the upstairs area has a microwave and a jug for making tea and coffee, a toilet, some couches and a bunch of power points and room to store your stuff.
