Excellent and looking very modern since the refurb. So good to have this smaller venue still in Reading. Friendly staff and a good bar.

Lovely venue with a bar. And it's walking distance of the middle of Reading.

Lovely intimate venue which has recently spruced up. Well worth a visit if you like your art a little bit outside the mainstream.

Always been a great venue, just a lot better since the refit .. seen some big names here over the years, and such a small venue.
